The Ten White Horsemen Of The Apocalypse Wedding Part 2

[jessicawessica]

I've never had to start a second thread so no idea if I've done this right.
I couldn't resist the title.

How did it go?

The wedding is tommorrow/today so no new news yet I'm afraid.
Our holiday was lovely but must admit I am looking forward to the big day as mum has promised to keep me informed.

You're looking forward to it? So are we! I woke up yesterday and remembered about the wedding being on the 4th. I need to get out more!

@jessicawessica

I do hope your mum and the DD have a lovely time, give them a hug from us all!

oh! And get them to steal as many rolls/ bottles of booze/ sweets from any empty tables on their way out as they can..

Hope your mum and DD enjoy it. Are you attending any part of it?

One day they will wake up and regret missing people from their guest list.

No where near on the same scale but I skipped a couple of people from my guest list one a cousin who I never saw and the other a friend who'd drifted. A few years on I really really regret that decision.

Joining back in for updates.

We want the details as they come in.

Thank you

Eeeeek. It's today! Can't wait for updates 🤣

Looking forward to see how this plays out 😁

This is going to be fun! I hope your mum will be providing live updates!

@jessicawessica any chance of persuading your mum to register with mumsnet so she can do live updates?

I would prefer that @jessicawessica’s mum registered as a politician party so she can run the country.

That is ... political party.

To add to what SaraNade said, there's also a button under each post, so you can bookmark the place you were at in the thread.

And you can also set up email notifications, to let you know when someone has posted on the thread. You can opt for individual emails, or a daily digest.

There are 8 pages left on this thread. If people keep asking for updates, or posting to bookmark, the thread will fill up, before OP has had a chance to post, and may not want to start a 3rd thread.

I dont get which button people mean. On the mobile version I have 3 dots but when pressed none are a book mark option. On the desktop version no buttons at all.
I'm I teresred to hear the end of the saga though.

Still here with your shitty comments. Normal?

Following me around threads now are you? Sounds suspiciously like bullying to me.

@ShakespearesSisters - if you hover over the white space above 'Message Poster' you'll get a Bookmark link appearing. Either as a word (desktop) or symbol (mobile).

Shakespeare:

You may need to update your mobile app, or if you are opening MN in a browser, try updating your browser.

Failing that, use the report function or contact @MNHQ to get help. Bookmark is a very useful function!

If only your Mum was on here we could’ve had life updates of the madness!

I thought your Mum wasn't going to go to the wedding

So intrigued to hear how the day went! Hope your DM and DD have a fun day

Thank you for the information about the "Bookmark"!

I have been on MN for ages, but never knew about that!

Can someone explain how you get the OP's posts in a different colour, too, please? I'm on laptop.

Just while we are waiting for the wedding updates!

Mum wasn't going to go to the wedding at all, but she decided to go to the ceremony then the meal then come home and not stay for the evening do.
Mum has just dropped DD off. DD enjoyed herself at least. Mum not so much.
She was relieved to find that she, DD DB2s daughter, partner and DS were all going to be able to sit together during the meal after all, so that part fine.
When they arrived they thought, because it wasn't a church do, that the seating for the actual ceremony would be mixed, it wasn't.
The brides side was heaving. Apparently they'd invited every long lost relative they could find on her side. But on grooms side there was only DB2s daughter, partner and son, who had sat on the back row in case their DS started to act up and they could slip outside without causing any bother.
At the front sat the grooms mum. On the row behind sat their NDN and a few young women who she later found out were the groomsmens partner/wives, etc. So there were all these empty seats! Mum said she didn't know where to put her face.
Anyway, ceremony went ahead, bride looked nice, groomsmen looked okay but mum thought they looked like they were fading into the wall because of their suits.
Someone had forgot to tell my neice that the dress theme was pastel and she turned up wearing a vibrant green and black rockabilly style dress so they all stuck out even more.
After ceremony they had the photos....more embarrassment as the "family" photos were hugely uneven.
The worst part for her was when other guests asked where me and DB2 were. Mum said she was determined not to lie so just replied that we hadn't been invited. She said she didn't care if it made DN and bride look bad.
DB2s daughter knew one of the groomsmens girlfriends as they were in the same class at school. They got chatting before the meal at the bar. When they sat down for the meal she told mum that a couple of the girlfriends were a bit miffed as they'd had to arrange childcare for their DCs as they'd been told it was supposed to be childfree apart from groom and brides DD.
Can't say I blame them. Having to sort out childcare then finding groom's cousin was allowed to bring her DS would have peed me off too.
Mum got a bit peed off during the speeches. Groom thanked his family for coming. She just muttered to neice about "half the family missing", but smiled through gritted teeth.
After the meal everyone milled around for a bit. Bride and groom buggered off to their room to get changed . Mum waited for a bit so that she could tell them she and DD were leaving, but after about an hour she gave up. It appeared they'd decided to leave their guests until the evening do started, nice.
Anyway she dropped DD off back home, had a cuppa and said "Thank god that's finally over with!"
I haven't looked on FB yet, but I should imagine there'll be something on there by now.
