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...

I don’t know why I even opened this thread as I am nowhere near Gretna Green, but I guess I wanted to see some lovely rallying together. Not disappointed at all! Congratulations on your wedding OP, and all the best to the very kind people who offered to help. Have a wonderful time and enjoy your well earned glass of champagne Red 🍾🥂 cheers 🍾🥂

How lovely this thread is!!!!!

Ah this is so lovely, have an amazing wedding day! And mumsnet guardian, you are a lovely person and really did make me smile today

On a total side note I'm very surprised hotel couldnt hang it for you, even in the office! On a curtain rail or such like maybe...

Aww that is so lovely x

I know, originally they said they would hang it but when I rang to confirm, they said they couldn’t! But the dress is safe, and I don’t need to worry about dragging it around Greece, so I’m so grateful! Dress guardian also has my wedding shoes and husband to be’s Outfit, because she is a STAR!

This thread is lovely. It’s always good to be reminded that most people are actually kind and generous, despite what we see in the News and on MN some of the time.

Yay!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love threads like this!!!

What a lovely thread. There are some very kind people still in the world. Faith restoring!

I had to drag my dress half way across America and then across the UK on boats, coaches, planes and trains. I was a nervous wreck by the end of it (and May have occasionally been a psychopath bitch.)

Oh I live this thread. And if that's the mumsnetter's house, I love that too!

Aww.
And nominations are open.

I nominated alyaster1, star wedding dress guardian extraordinaire!

Hooray!

And congratulations!

Thank you!

How exciting op!

Anyone else want to see the dress. Love this thread

We stopped at the same hotel and got married at the blacksmith's shop almost 10 years ago. What a lovely thread. Have a fantastic time. Congratulations.

Hi, I'm the local mumsnetter who is delivering the dress. It's really no bother and I know most of you would do kind favours if you could.
I really don't think I'm doing anything noble however.... I actually think it is the bride to be that is doing something inspiring and showing a faith in humanity.
This lady has entrusted me a total stranger with something very special to her, how awesome is that!!! Her faith in the kindness of people is a lesson to us all. It is a privilege to help you Cathy, you are the lovely person here

Well I can't help OP, sorry :(

But congratulations!!! I got married in Gretna green 10 years ago and it was the best day of my life (with the possible exception of the birth of both my gorgeous boys in the years following!)

Hope it is a fantastic wedding :) xx

@alyaster1

What a heart-warming thread! I hope to see a picture of you wearing it Cathy💐

Good luck op!

Congratulations OP. Send us all a picture on the day

Oh this is just so lovely - no where near Gretna but i love it when mumsnet pulls together
