Despite all the stress, and a guest list going from 80 to 10... we are in Scotland, where my lovely girl will marry her lovely partner surrounded by 3 dogs, two goats, a handful of ducks and chickens and a few humans in the garden of her fiancee's family home! The weather is dire, and the ring bearer is likely to disappear after the chickens Grin
The best man (DS1) is stuck on the other side of the world but will be live feed and has sent his recording of their son (he's a singer) and despite everything... it going to be a wonderful day!

Up yours Covid! Here's to making the best of things and seeing two people make their promises to each other which is all that really matters... :)

This made me tear up a little bit. I love the positivity despite being beaten with the COVID stick 🙂

Actually, I feel like I'm sharing your joy because you've brought me happy smile and happy memories of my own wedding.

Have a fab day.
Truly hoping I get to my dd's wedding in December.

Plump82 · 24/10/2020 09:51

Congratulations! We got married in lockdown back in July. We were lucky we only had a small wedding anyway so didn't need to change plans but it was just perfect and a great way to have wonderful memories despite an awful year. Im glad your daughter will get to have the same memories x

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 24/10/2020 09:52

I’ve welled up too. That is the most lovely thing to read. Thank you!

Svelteinmydreams · 24/10/2020 09:56

Congratulations to your DD & her fiancé, and well done to you all for making this happen.
I am laughing at the idea of the ring bearer chasing the chickens😁

ShinyRuby · 24/10/2020 10:11

It sounds brilliant, have a great day.
I especially love the sound of the goatGrin

grauduroi · 24/10/2020 10:15

Sounds wonderful.
Good luck keeping the ring bearer on task Smile

What a lovely post! Wishing you all a wonderful day. And rain on your wedding day is good luck! Please post back and tell how it all goes.

This made me tear up a little!

Wonderful thread! Also in Scotland (Loch Lomond area) and weather is shit but for today the weather & Covid can fuck right off!
Aw the best for a wonderful wedding! 😊

ForthPlace · 24/10/2020 10:49

You know, I think couples marrying in this very simple way will look back with fantastic memories.
My own wedding was so stressful with so much extra expected 'palaver' - felt bound and full of routine.

Who cares if the bow on the back of the chair isn't the same shade of pink as the roses in the bouquets...🙄, this is about love and commitment.💕

Enko · 24/10/2020 10:58

Congratulations what a lovely post

nosswith · 24/10/2020 11:01

I hope it is a lovely day. And that the chickens behave!!!

Rowgtfc72 · 24/10/2020 16:44

Hope you've all had a lovely day!
Congratulations Flowers Wine

Acornsgalore · 24/10/2020 16:47

I'm interested in the roles played by the goats ...Grin

Hope you have had a lovely day op and family!

Dollywilde · 24/10/2020 17:08

I’ve been thinking of you and your DD (and brand new Son in Law!) today. Hope it was magical Grin

WhatamessIgotinto · 24/10/2020 18:44

Aw this sounds awesome! I barely remember any weddings I've been to - I bet all the guests (however few) will never forget this one.

Frdd · 24/10/2020 18:45
