We have cctv … fairly high stone walls and have arranged with a local farmer to put some of his cows in the field and he’s putting up electric fences all around the perimeter of the field …..

Love a woman who can quickly pull a plan together!😁

Manure would look good on her. I think you were manipulated into buying an expensive dress that she fully intended to dress another kid in. I would ask for the money back or press charges. She’s a loon.

If it’s true that these people called your daughter a brat and your husband still wants to appease them, he’s a major part of your problem.

You would be insane to let actively hostile people host a wedding on your property. Someone will trip over and they’ll sue you, or they will trash it, or something will happen.

Your husband needs to get a grip and you need to drop contact with them.

I was thinking about the weeding taking place in the field...Are they going to provide porter loos or will all the guests be queuing to use yours?
