DP just sent me a text that said

[Grockle]

I would love you to be my wife

I don't know! But yes, that's where I am. I don't like that part of the beach (too touristy) but I don't know what other options there are. DP mentioned a handfasting in the forest which would be lovely - that's where I first met his DC and I love the forest.

Whatever we decide, I'm in no rush. I just want to be with DP, have a lovely floaty dress, bare feet, flowers in my hair and the DC with us. And cake. Must have cake.

Squeee!

its just i knew it had a license to marry people i guess it will be the whole beach

.

wedding sounds fab

Brilliant

Congratulations

Awww this is so sweet, congratulations

Wooooooooo hoooooooo. Thank you for cheering my day. Congratulations xxxxx

That's not the SW!! And I speak as someone who lived there for 10 years!!! I was thinking Devon (and I lived there for the first 18 years of my life - got really excited thinking there might be a beach down there that DP and I could do that thang on)

But at least with a beach that size, you really can invite the whole MN clan...

Massive congrats x

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Congratulations xx

I think you'll find you no longer have a DP Grockle but a DF!!

Oh yay, what a lovely thread

Congratulations Grockle

Wahoo Classics :o
I can wear the dress I bought for the wedding on Sat and you don't mind if dp wears a kilt do you? I knew you wouldn't thanks so much! I won't bring the kids though as I'll want to get absolutely shitfaced.....

BTW MrsJay, Ireland isn't in the UK, but I'll let it slide just this once :)

Delurking to wish you huge congratulations and good times. Thankyou for cheering up my otherwise crap day!

Congrats Grockle and GrockleDF!

Kilt and children in bridesmaid outfits is fine. Wouldn't want anyone to be leftout as long as, and this is awkward but I know MNers won't mind, well, we don't need gifts, but if you'd all bring a substantial contribution to our honeymoon fund, that would be lovely.

I think I will go and start a children at weddings thread, then a asking for money as a gift thread and then I might as well go and start a BF/ bottle feeding one too

I just thought.
Ds2 is quite sensitive to sand and OH doesn't like seagulls.
Soooooo Aibu to expect you to have a teeny rethink about the venue?
I know it's your day and everything but you want everyone to have a good time don't you?
Thanks hun :)

Oh God, I just actually cried. I didn't even cry when I got engaged.

Rolling about at your description of first m-i-ls outfit - all in black with a dead crow on her head - or whatever it was too lazy to scroll back.

Brilliant - can l come? Of course dont know anyone who owns a wolf fleece my m-i-l has one my lovely but tasteless s-i-l bought her - but l'll borrow hers do mi best.

I might even 'lose' it on the beach then never again have to suffer that 'wanting to die feeling' of walking round the shops with her when she's wearing it

I also have a lovely wedding hat - grey and white - think dead pigeon.

Ooh how exciting.

MrsDeVere stop being a diva - it is not about you - it is Grockles big day and do not wear a bigger dead bird hat than me or else.

awwwwwwwww

Well! I like that! I was only asking.
Bloody bridzillas

Btw my teenage nephews are staying that weekend, they are in a death metal band.
It would be a great opportunity for them to play. Slicer and Donkeykiller said the wont charge you much.
Squeeeeer how exciting.

Grockle CONGRATULATIONS!!

You haven't announced this on FB yet (I'm BB). I know there will be lots of people polishing their tiaras once they know!

What a lovely thread xx

Oh, and my mil wore white to our wedding!

oops sorry i assumed N I formerly

Thats ok, I have let the good spirit of the thread wash over me :o
I think Ill get Thelma Madine to make my dress since Ill never get married....you wont mind that either Grockle sure you wont hun xoxoxo :)

@ MrsDeVeres

Seeing as your happy event is already being hijacked Grockle l'll throw in a quick story about my m-i-ls wolf fleece to drum up interest in it to increase chances of it being stolen at your wedding.

Shortly after Dsil bought it for her ( much to my DHs horror and mortification his own mother walking around our small town wearing it - l mean he seriously wanted to emigrate ! ) we saw an oldish man wearing a Red Iindian one with full feathered headdress etc browsing in our local shops which is rare in our area honest [snob] and l said to DH 'Oh look we should fix him and your mother(in her 70s) up on a blind date' (DM-i-l is a widow btw).

For a horrible moment l thought DH wasnt going to see the funny side but then we both ended up helpless with laughing at the thought of 'Wolfgirl' and 'Browsing Bear' walking off hand in hand into the sunset.

You kinda had to be there but it was funny.

Right any takers yet ?
