HAVE YOU CANCELLED THE CHEQUE YET, OP?

[TheDevilMadeMeDoIt]

Just askin'

And place marking for updates

This thread can't end there, it's not an episode of Eastenders!

Op report the pms to mnhq

OP, Not sure if you are checking your inbox at the moment, with all the journalist hassle, but I have just PM-ed you about a post that might be identifying - you could ask MN to edit.

Other than one friend sharing mumsnets original post from puzzled's (which was maybe on their fb page) Iv not heard or seen of this story on the radio or news or TV programmes.

So, hopefully the bride and groom haven't either for puzzleds sake so she has an easy life and doesn't have to deal with any fall out from it.

I'd get both threads pulled. The point been more than made and discussed. No point perpetuating.

Anyone else looking forward to seeing the bride and groom on TV?

I've no doubt the media will trace them and offer them money for their side of the story.

It'd be interesting to read actually.

Yes I would be very interested to see the actual real people behind this story.

Lweji it was on the front page of the Guardian website

Maybe because I get the International version?

But if it was at one point, it didn't seem to be when I looked (even after someone posted the link here) and it doesn't seem to be now. 5 min story among the many in daytime tv and radio.

Also, my local newspaper picks on Guardian news. Probably have some contract.

But the receptionist that was fired for not wearing high heels has been a much bigger story.

I'd be more concerned about the circle of friends for the couple than national news, really.

Definitely big on the Guardian when I looked online.

This story has gone viral on social media in Ireland, it keeps coming up on so many different social media facebook and twitter pages.

It's just popped up on my Facebook feed under heart news

They must be on the app. I've found I can post past 1000 on the app using my iPhone.

I'm really worried that posts can end up in national news and chat shows. This is somewhere I go for anonymous advice, I wouldn't want my personal problems publicised like that. I wish there was a way to protect our self's in future threads. I imagine many people will be hesitant to post here in the future for fear of potential fall out in the media.

We better brace ourselves for another troll invasion. Can you imagine the thrill for a troll if they not only fool MN but are then talked about on TV and in the papers?

I agree toasty. The Op has had no control over this. I hate thinking there are lazy "journalists" reading through MN instead of looking for real stories.

Do you really think it is lazy journalists, or MNHQ themselves who send journalists press releases/links for media coverage, which then brings more users and more advertising and £££?

Gahh! Why are people still calling modern journalism lazy?

Mind you WRT Mumsnet and 'real stories', they seem to be very few and far between these days.

I would dearly love to see if this bride and groom actually surface though.

Where is the poster who received this email?

It's in The Times this morning.

Bizarre reading it. It was just like someone telling me what they'd read on MN. Hardly national news

It's made several news and magazine newsites here in NZ too . . . Also popped up on my FB thread several times.

Where is the poster who received this email?

She's posted a few times on this thread - I suggest you go back and read it.

She cancelled the cheque.

Johnny Vaughan talked about it on Radio X this evening on my drive home.

He said she should cancel the cheque

Ha! Just saw this story on my local Facebook mothers' community group. In San Francisco.
