what happened the thread about the million pound wedding?

[caperplips]

I was enjoying the first page of that thread. Computer glitched and now it's gone - only got to page 1, did something happen for it to be deleted?

freshly harvested organs

LOL, read down the paragraph, went "huh?!" ,read user name, started giggling as I read the rest...

@barearsedloverofthigh And, an Arse cream van parked outside selling arse cream cones with 'chocolate flakes' and 'sprinkles' to make you look hip and trendy!

I hope this is a typo!! Or do i????

Oh DT I fear the gin has addled my brain. Of course your angel fish! Triangle shall have a share in the trolley pulling whilst in a fish bowl that is itself being pulled by miniature gerbils wearing waistcoats and top hats. It will add another £2000. onto the cost but I'm sure the (original) OP will be delighted with the completed ensemble.

If you want to read about a real “no limits” Wedding, have a read of this account of the wedding of Irish billionaire JP McManus’ daughter in 2007.

JP is known within the Racing industry for his generosity so its no surprise to see him splashing the cash for his only daughter.

In addition, JP gave the local council funds to resurface all the local roads and paid for the refurbishment of the village church where the ceremony took place.

Bare where on earth were your amazing wedding planning skills when I needed them, eh? I could’ve offered £120 (cash) and 200 jars of my nan’s chutney (only slightly out of date). Do you happen to do vow-renewal bashes/happy divorce parties? (not quite made mind up yet). You have a very rare talent, it’s very sad the op will not be able to avail herself of your organisational skills. Ps dh wants to know if moat has any bitey fish before commiting as he still has nightmares about a spontaneous skinny dip in the Leeds castle moat many years ago (which was his fault anyway as he really shouldn’t have been doing it while officiating at a funeral).

The McManus wedding reminds me of a thread a while back where someone was bitching about “his and hers” meals at a wedding and reckoned she’d flounced because they were so sexist.

Suki Such kind and flattering words. You couldn't write them down and send them to my parole officer by any chance?

Chutney (keeps forever) is excellent and very acceptable currency as it goes wonderfully with organs a little past their best. Naked frolics are always encouraged at the castle. Your DH sounds like a hoot and for him, we would clear the moat of all pirañas and electric eels. Unless, of course you were looking to cash in on an insurance policy.....

I'm a bit gutted it gone! It was obviously a troll but it was light hearted and what harm was it doing really?
I have noticed a few threads recently that have descended into chaos and bullying. It's really putting me off using mumsnet; I think I will retreat back to the Christmas boards.

The insurance company would take the position that it was suicide to jump into a moat full of killer fish and not pay out. Bastards.

How ridiculous! Every one knows that meals have to be sex segregated.
'Hers' are whatever takes her fancy: dahl, twiglets, chocolate eclairs...
'His' are loaded with lard to fatten the organs and make the harvest a bountiful one. Duhh!

I've never known an insurance broker not be swayed by the promise of a bucket full of fresh organs. They're bottom feeders, the lot of them.

It wasn't light hearted though - not even the teeniest bit of effort put into reeling people in. Exclusive use of Claridges for one night for 60/70 grand. Yeah, right.

It was very funny, regardless of the OP’s intention.

arse you forgot tiggdog!!!

I’ve been to a wedding that cost over £1m but a huge part of that expense was flying all their friends from around the world to Hong Kong, and they thought flying economy was (and I quote) “inhumane” so bought loads of business class flights and a lot of nice hotels for 2/3 nights.
The father of the bridge is on the Forbes list it was probably spare change.

Tigs I am an arse

Ok, tiggdog will be paired with black poodle and their cart will have hydraulic springs connected to the wheels. It will require the bravest of guests (or perhaps your least favourite guest) to ride in it as it will bounce erratically as it rolls along, inducing prolific vomiting and blackouts.

As an apology I'll sing this song in my best disney voice:
The wonderful thing about tiggdogs
Is tiggdogs are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about tiggdogs is
They're the only one.

Ah yes, I remember this, didn't she marry a fly over?

I didn't see the original thread but I have attended a £2.5 million wedding. It was a stunningly beautiful wedding with the amount of flowers they had paid for, and the venue was amazing. However, the food was the absolute worst. 100% style over substance. The portions were tiny- one course consisted of a 10p sized circle of carrot, with some tiny slither of white vegetable on it. The main course was a tiny Guinea fowl breast with a miniscule potato fondant and a few slices of purple carrot. The dessert was delicious but each part of it (3 parts) was made up of a centimetre square piece of sweetness. I was bloody starving. There wasn't even a buffet in the evening. They just cut up the cake and served that. I went back to the hotel, ordered room service and sat there stuffing my face, wondering what the hell (other than flowers) they spent the millions on.
