To just invite a bunch of random MNers to my wedding to boost up numbers?

[ZombiesAteMyCunnyFunt]

I'm only half joking :o
DP and I are (hopefully) getting married next autumn, and we'd love (me especially, DP isn't as bothered as me) a big wedding with loads of friends and family. But neither of us have many friends, probably about 10 between us! It probably sounds daft but I want to be surrounded by loads of family and friends and have a big party in the evening. But we just don't have the friends!

Okay I'm not really expecting a bunch of MNers to rock up for a wedding party, I was just having a bit of a self-pitying grumble.

I know getting married isn't just an excuse for a party but I want a big party with loads of people :(

AIBU?

Can I come? I love dancing but I'm too old to do it anywhere except weddings and I'm too old for anyone I know to be getting married.

Love the Hall.

Ooh what a good idea! We should organise a Mumsnet hen night first to break the ice!!

I'll come OP! Haven't been to a wedding for years old gimmer.

Ooooh can i come , bit late to the proceedings but its not so far from me and i love a wedding , will abide by all bridezilla instructions and promise not to get too drunk and will bring a gift ( do you care if your gift actually breathes ? )

Karaoke you say? Count me in! I do a mean Adele, someone like yoooo!
I'll buy you a vase or a toaster for an invite. How can you resist?

Reckon I could get there in an hour and a half but would need a room to fall into sleep in. Are there rooms?

I read this thread on my way home from london to back up north on sunday but couldn't get a signal to say 'I'll come!'

I only live five miles away from wedding venue!

Wonder if I know you in real life?

I'd be happy to come by the way!

Just wondering if I knew you as I went to school in same town and its a small town!

Me me me! I'd love to come!

That's a beautiful place for a wedding.

I've never been a bridesmaid. {hint}

Probably not Viva, I'm 22 :o I knew you lived in Lincs but I didn't realise you were so close to me!

Mmmm, yes I am slightly older than you! .

What school did you go to?

QE.

My sister and grandma went there, I went to CH, same as my mum and dad. I live right near QE!

Must admit I don't go into town much. Maybe once a year!

You're not missing much, believe me!

Right folks, I'd better be off, I have to be up at 7.30 to receive my sisters DC I want to stay in bed tomorrow!

Goodnight everyone, you are all wonderful and lovely :) xx

My Dad lives really close to there! I could come and we'd have babysitting organised so wouldn't need to bring the dc. I love discos but karaokes don't like me

Well, OP, is 168 (at last count) extra guests going to be enough to swell your numbers?

I'll avoid the karaoke if you don't mind OP. Well until you want everybody to leave that is and then I'll sing a song and empty the hall for you

I'll have the chocolate cake btw.

I would love to come too :)

Can we all stay with your dad, gleegeek? He could cope with [does quick mental calculation... say 100 MNers at an average of 1.5 DC apiece] babysitting 150 children at once, I assume. I hear that after the first twenty you don't really notice the extras.

Yes I'm sure you could AnAdventureInCakeAndWine He'd sleep through the dc wailing I'm sure - whether they'd sleep through his snoring I'm not sure

I have no internet left on my phone until the 4th so I won't be back until then :(

Ooh, I could come... I even still have a long grey wool 2 piece which is ace for Lincolnshire autumns...

Okay so how's everyone fixed for 25th October 2014?
