Changing some details in case someone recognises this!!

DP and I have been together for over 25 years and have finally decided to get married! DC are old enough now to be witnesses, so we're not telling a should apart from them and the 5 of us are just going to go to registrars one afternoon and get it done. Ordered wedding rings today, appointment with registrar on Weds and I'm actually abut excited!!!

Brilliant, have a lovely time. 🌺

tryandbepositive · 25/05/2026 01:26

Congratulations but why the secrecy? Will you tell people after as if you suddenly are wearing wedding rings then people will ask?

Biffsboys · 25/05/2026 02:02

Have a fantastic day 🥂

cambiodenombre123 · 25/05/2026 04:02

Awwww squeee! What are you going to wear?!

Nowedding · 25/05/2026 06:35

To answer some questions,

DC are chuffed, but know it doesn't change much.
No idea what I'll wear, but it doesn't matter, jeans are an option.
Yes we'll tell people afterwards.
We just don't want a fuss. The thought of organising a wedding is the main thing which has put us off so long. As soon as someone finds out then there's pressure to start a wedding!

Update, date set! Early July.

Congratulations!

I know you don’t want a fuss, but … you now have the perfect amount of time to look for a celebratory outfit. (Zara? Vinted? Oxfam? Liberty? Doesn’t matter). No doubt your partner could choose something too.

SalmonofUnwisdom · 26/05/2026 17:21

I know this isn't AIBU OP, but you are being very unreasonable.

We need hen do drama (preferably abroad), bridesmaids throwing their toys out of the pram, food/buffet angst, hand-wringing over a distant cousin that you have never met but have to invite because "hurty feelings" and a thread where we can all suggest ludicrous outfits for you to wear.

Only joking! Congratulations, sounds perfect - have a lovely day.

Nowedding · 26/05/2026 18:28

Will get a new dress, but one I can wear again.

Sorry @SalmonofUnwisdom , no drama here — all that stuff you've mentioned is exactly why we don't want a wedding!!

This is lovely, so good to read a happy thread. Sounds like it is going to be an unforgettable day that you will all truly enjoy

BlossomBlossomBlossom · 26/05/2026 19:01

Surely you don’t intend to deprive MN’s Style & Beauty board of the fun of helping you choose your outfit???
