Any mumsnetters who live in Gretna Green? Long shot

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...

Are you still having a wee glass of champagne with any MNetters who can get to it?

OP - that dress is spectacular.

Definitely up for a glass of champers with anyone who can make it to Glasgow on the second August at lunch time! 👍

@CathyTre you must let us know where you are for a glass of fizz on the 2nd! I live and work in Glasgow and never need much of an excuse to leave work early on a Friday Wine

This thread is great! X

CathyTre · 26/07/2019 00:24

Gorgeous. You look stunning. Truly. I wish I was in Glasgow 💝

StrippingTheVelvet · 26/07/2019 00:55

Another Blacksmith's bride here. You will have an amazing time OP. I still think marrying at the anvil is so special. Aren't the Scots just an amazing people? There'd be less trouble in the world if everyone was a bit more Scottish!

Ahhh op lovely dress! I live soooo far from Glasgow
