weddings and oaps

[Hullygully]

I have been invited to a wedding where the bride has developed what must really be called a phobia about old people. (Long story)

She refuses to have any one over 70 in case there is a "medical emergency" which would spoil her day and in order to avoid an outcry she proposes to organise a coach trip for the old people to see The Lion King as a treat on the same day with a special tea at a Holiday Inn afterwards and a video link to her ceremony.

Her mother is 72 and is allowed to go because she recently passed a stringent medical, but no one else of a similar age is allowed. My mother is 73 and looked after her a lot when she was little and really wants to go. Also, she has seen The Lion King already. I think she should be allowed to go to the wedding as a fit and healthy sort of "extra" mother. AIBU?

⬆Hully are you Miranda Hart??

If this is true I'll way my nannas hat. She's 90.

Brilliant Hully, is this a dream you had last night?

Hully, your pants are on fire

The OAP part of the wedding sounds fabulous and if I get married, The Lion King and tea for everyone!

I cannot beleeeeeeve I got deleted for suggesting this m

Might not be strictly kosher.

help you troll-hunting cah

Thank you hully that is beautiful and has made me very smiley
I would love a picture of the pink skirted poodle please and then I can die happy

(unlike poor pooch)

I am crying with laughter here. DH thinks I'm deranged now because I could only manage to blurt out the words "Leslie" and "poodle" between guffaws!

What is happening here?

Is this a soap opera script?

I was looking forward to the thread where a busload of OAPs gate-crashed the wedding (singing "It's the Circle of LIIIIFE!")

how can she afford a defibrillator?

This must be a wind up.....seriously!

You practising for April 1st Hully?

WTF????

That's all I'm saying.

am I the only person currently wanting to nominate Hully for Queen of MN Classics, this thread is inspired.

Am still dying laughing at the med student with the defibrillator.

pahahaaaa

I believe every word.

A bride I knew made sure there was soft food on the menu for the old people with false teeth.

She made not only a "play list" for the DJ but also a "don't play list" of songs that would remind guests of ex's and dead people.

She also gave her prospective husband a timetable of when he could drink during the day.

If she is on MN, she will definitely recognise herself [waves] but I have no worries because I told her she was bonkers at the time

I reckon the non-wedding guests will force the coach to make a u-turn on the M25, storm up the aisle and perform while roasting a poodle on a portable brazier. It's almost bound to happen.

No way!! Must be a wind up

What about elderly poodles? Will they be allowed to attend?

Me:
DH:

I know it isn't true. But I so want it to be :(

Best wind up ever.
