I know this is zombie but can't believe no update did you have a lovely wedding ?x

MrsWembley · 28/06/2012 19:39

Ok, Grockle, is it to be a summer do or spring? I only ask as we're planning Whitsun weekend next year or maybe the year after and I don't want to clash...

bronze · 28/06/2012 11:55

Ok you're nowhere near me so why we're you talking about Bingham blue?

Mindyourownbusiness · 28/06/2012 11:40

'Ooh lovely clinking you see l think these old mumsnetters do know their stuff sometimes.

Ooh another beach wedding - in the rain UK aswell.

Very for you too. Lovely.

Can l come to this one aswell?

clinkingIceCubes · 28/06/2012 11:30

came back to this today and am sooooooooo happy

Huge congratulations Grockle, just how completely bloody wonderful!

I can't compete with a live engagement thread but I can say 'mumsnet made me do it' about my decision to go on 1st date with DH and, reader, I married him

So I have luffly red wedding dress to wear on the beach at Bournemouth, can't wait!

Mindyourownbusiness · 28/06/2012 10:40

@ MrsDeVeres

Seeing as your happy event is already being hijacked Grockle l'll throw in a quick story about my m-i-ls wolf fleece to drum up interest in it to increase chances of it being stolen at your wedding.

Shortly after Dsil bought it for her ( much to my DHs horror and mortification his own mother walking around our small town wearing it - l mean he seriously wanted to emigrate ! ) we saw an oldish man wearing a Red Iindian one with full feathered headdress etc browsing in our local shops which is rare in our area honest [snob] and l said to DH 'Oh look we should fix him and your mother(in her 70s) up on a blind date' (DM-i-l is a widow btw).

For a horrible moment l thought DH wasnt going to see the funny side but then we both ended up helpless with laughing at the thought of 'Wolfgirl' and 'Browsing Bear' walking off hand in hand into the sunset.

You kinda had to be there but it was funny.

Right any takers yet ?

FormerlyTitledUntidy · 28/06/2012 10:19

Thats ok, I have let the good spirit of the thread wash over me :o
I think Ill get Thelma Madine to make my dress since Ill never get married....you wont mind that either Grockle sure you wont hun xoxoxo :)

Mrsjay · 28/06/2012 09:57

DaftMaul · 28/06/2012 09:56

Oh, and my mil wore white to our wedding!

DaftMaul · 28/06/2012 09:55

Grockle CONGRATULATIONS!!

You haven't announced this on FB yet (I'm BB). I know there will be lots of people polishing their tiaras once they know!

What a lovely thread xx

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 28/06/2012 09:52

Well! I like that! I was only asking.
Bloody bridzillas

Btw my teenage nephews are staying that weekend, they are in a death metal band.
It would be a great opportunity for them to play. Slicer and Donkeykiller said the wont charge you much.
Squeeeeer how exciting.

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 28/06/2012 09:34

awwwwwwwww

Mindyourownbusiness · 28/06/2012 09:31

MrsDeVere stop being a diva - it is not about you - it is Grockles big day and do not wear a bigger dead bird hat than me or else.

Mindyourownbusiness · 28/06/2012 09:27

Rolling about at your description of first m-i-ls outfit - all in black with a dead crow on her head - or whatever it was too lazy to scroll back.

Brilliant - can l come? Of course dont know anyone who owns a wolf fleece my m-i-l has one my lovely but tasteless s-i-l bought her - but l'll borrow hers do mi best.

I might even 'lose' it on the beach then never again have to suffer that 'wanting to die feeling' of walking round the shops with her when she's wearing it

I also have a lovely wedding hat - grey and white - think dead pigeon.

Ooh how exciting.

IawnCont · 28/06/2012 09:06

Oh God, I just actually cried. I didn't even cry when I got engaged.

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 28/06/2012 09:00

I just thought.
Ds2 is quite sensitive to sand and OH doesn't like seagulls.
Soooooo Aibu to expect you to have a teeny rethink about the venue?
I know it's your day and everything but you want everyone to have a good time don't you?
Thanks hun :)

Kilt and children in bridesmaid outfits is fine. Wouldn't want anyone to be leftout as long as, and this is awkward but I know MNers won't mind, well, we don't need gifts, but if you'd all bring a substantial contribution to our honeymoon fund, that would be lovely.

I think I will go and start a children at weddings thread, then a asking for money as a gift thread and then I might as well go and start a BF/ bottle feeding one too

Delurking to wish you huge congratulations and good times. Thankyou for cheering up my otherwise crap day!

Congrats Grockle and GrockleDF!

FormerlyTitledUntidy · 27/06/2012 23:03

Wahoo Classics :o
I can wear the dress I bought for the wedding on Sat and you don't mind if dp wears a kilt do you? I knew you wouldn't thanks so much! I won't bring the kids though as I'll want to get absolutely shitfaced.....

BTW MrsJay, Ireland isn't in the UK, but I'll let it slide just this once :)

Bicnod · 27/06/2012 21:19

Oh yay, what a lovely thread

Congratulations Grockle

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 27/06/2012 21:12

I think you'll find you no longer have a DP Grockle but a DF!!

Heavensmells · 27/06/2012 21:00

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Congratulations xx

OhNoMyFanjo · 27/06/2012 20:53

Massive congrats x

MrsWembley · 27/06/2012 20:41

That's not the SW!! And I speak as someone who lived there for 10 years!!! I was thinking Devon (and I lived there for the first 18 years of my life - got really excited thinking there might be a beach down there that DP and I could do that thang on)

But at least with a beach that size, you really can invite the whole MN clan...

only4tonight · 27/06/2012 20:24

Wooooooooo hoooooooo. Thank you for cheering my day. Congratulations xxxxx
