Any mumsnetters who live in Gretna Green? Long shot

[CathyTre]

I am getting married in Gretna Green on 3rd August - yay! However...

We go to Greece on Friday for backwards honeymoon before main event (I know it’s weird, but there are good reasons!).

The hotel in Gretna will store my dress if I courier it - but only folded up under a desk in the office!

I have messaged a bridal shop in Annan to see if they would store it for a fee, but they’re not open until tomorrow so I don’t know if they can yet.

No guests can bring it with them as there are no guests- were having a party for everyone when home.

So just wondering, very long shot, if any kind Gretna based mumsnetter would hang my dress in a wardrobe from Thursday this week or Friday until Saturday 3rd.

Appreciate the oddness of the request but I am worried if I take it to Greece, airline might lose luggage or any manner of things...

Thank you so much - especially those lovely ladies who said they’d bring the dress! I have a lady really near to Gretna so less hassle for the lovely Glasgow and hour away ladies - but if any of you three lovely offering people would like to meet us anyway for a glass of fizz by way of gratitude for offers on the Friday, do let me know! Thanks everyone xxx

Totally off topic but we got married at Gretna and it was amazing. Congratulations!

I LOBE this thread! Have a lovely wedding extravaganza

It’s been a great thread, and I’m really grateful for the offers! So kind! We will be in Glasgow for four hours on Friday the second, so if anyone fancies lunchtime fizz... 😂

Good luck op - let us know how it went!

Aww love this thread!

Lovely thread!!

Love mn for this

🍾🥂🌹💐 How lovely. ❤️Congratulations and well done to those who have literally gone the extra mile.

That's what I had meant in my message. I live in Glasgow about 15 mins from train station so would have held it and hung for you. If you're not sorted with similar PM me.

People are so kind. There's so much horror in the world, but so many small acts of kindnesses to total strangers, that meant so much when that help is needed.

Bless you all!

Quick update in case anyone is interested - the dress should arrive with a lovely mumsnetter near Gretna tomorrow before 1pm!

Wonderful... this thread has made me fill up! Congratulations!

What a lovely thread!

This is so lovely 💗

Congratulations, op! All the best for a long and happy marriage.

oh I was away to volunteer my mother...she lives in Annan, but she's visiting her from next week so no good

really glad you are sorted! :o

Love this thread! Which venue have you gone for in Gretna? We got married at the Anvill Hall then stayed at the Dryfesdale which is in Lockerbie about 20mins away x

We’re staying at Smiths hotel and getting married at the blacksmith’s shop 🙂 last day at work today until fifth August; getting excited!

Thank you for all good wishes and kind offers- dress guardian said she’d photograph dress tomorrow when she gets it, so I’ll post photos if anyone wants to see? Glad others have had lovely weddings in Gretna too! X

I got married at Blacksmiths 26 years ago 🙂

The dress has arrived with its mumsnet guardian!

Whoo hoo, how lovely!

Ahh I love a TeamMN wedding!

So many wonderful people making lovely things happen.

Love this thread! Hope you have a fantastic day!

This thread has restored my faith in humans! Especially with all the rubbish around, this was just the tonic. Bravo to all involved and OP have the most wonderful holiday and long and happy marriage. X
