Tomorrow Princess Juliet will be marrying Mr Peregrine Banksbrook. The ceremony will take place at Ruggington Cathedral because let's face it we don't have any other Playmobil churches and will be conducted by the Archbishop of Ruggington, assisted by the Dean of Lowbeach-on-Sea, with an address given by the Bishop of Highbath, the Right Reverend Balthazar Browne.

The ceremony will be followed by a carriage procession, and a reception in the grounds of Roundwood palace.

In Ruggington, the streets are being cleaned ready for tomorrow.

Family tree goes like this...

King of Playmoland is King Athelstan, married to Queen Edith.

They have four children. The eldest, Prince Jeremiah is married to Jemima and they have 3 children, Prince Henry, Princess Harriet and Princess Helena. Athelstan and Edith's second child Princess Juliet is getting married tomorrow! Athelstan and Edith's third child Prince Jared married Annabel Widdleton in 2011. They have 3 children, Prince Cornelius, Princess Madeline and baby Prince Flavian. Athelstan and Edith's 4th child Prince Josiah married Serena Sparkle in May this year.

King Athelstan's younger brother Redwald is married to Ethel. They have two sons Jabez and Augustus, and a daughter Felicity. Jabez is married to Alexandra and they have two children, Matilda and Barnabas. Augustus is married to Georgina, Felicity is single.

King Athelstan's younger sister Alfreda is married to Osric. They have four children, Jasper, Lavinia, Raife and Petronella. Jasper is married to Zuleika and they have two children, Dorian and Perdita. Lavinia is married to Aubyn. Raife is married to Lucinda. Petronella is married to Quinton.

I think that's it for the royal family tree.

holiday it would have to be a Plexit special. Although when we had a referendum, the Playmo people voted remain!

There’s always the possibility of a second referendum or an election before we get to the Plexit special.

SoMuchToBits · 11/10/2018 23:29

We'll have to wait and see! In the meantime there's a wedding to get on with - we got to get y'all married! Wink

@SoMuchToBits OMG, really can't wait for tomorrow's wedding now, the last one was amazing, just got through it, you are very talented, loved it

MrsMoastyToasty · 12/10/2018 00:10

Have the TV crews arrived?

Bloodybridget · 12/10/2018 05:15

Brilliant, thank you SoMuchToBits, Playmobiler extraordinaire!

SoMuchToBits · 12/10/2018 07:09

Yes, there will be plenty of tv coverage. All the Playmo people who aren't actually attending the wedding will be able to watch the whole event on television!

This is amazing! Looking forward to this more than the actual wedding! I am amazed at the level of detail you put in SoMuch, how long does it take you to set it all up and photograph it? Thinking about the logistics makes my head spin. Blush

Veronicat · 12/10/2018 07:26

If the winds get any worse those catching the ferry may have to call on these guys!

Love these threads!
It’s chucking it down here, what’s the weather like in Playmoland?!

SoMuchToBits · 12/10/2018 07:41

Horace the weather in Playmoland is lovely and sunny! Actually where I am (Suffolk) it's sunny too. Forecast to be sunny intervals and warm all day, but very windy!

Cherry it has taken a long time! The planning took quite a while. I had to decide all the personnel for the wedding and buy some new sets for it. I then had to plan all the scenes. I think setting them up and photographing them took about 4 days. The worst thing is when you're setting up a large scene and one of the people falls over, then they all go like dominos! But it has all been great fun.

Yes! I loved the last one

AviatorShades · 12/10/2018 08:25

one of the people falls over,then they all go like dominos sounds familiar,specially when dad-dancing occurs -and the dad thinks he can dance with a full pint glass on the crowded dance floor which must not be spilled at any cost! Bloody mayhem occursShockGrin

How far does the Playmo coverage get beamed, I wonder?

Know that it was watched on catch-up in North Carolina and Thailand by brits in both places and today's extravaganza will follow the same pattern.Grin

Anywhere else?

ElainaElephant · 12/10/2018 08:58

This is ridiculous. I can't imagine having enough time and money to waste to spend on this.

And yet I adore it. Its completely and utterly fabulous. I'm going to dive into the previous thread later too.

Bravo op!

yorkshireyummymummy · 12/10/2018 09:27

I’m here!!
I’ve said hello to Brendan and waved at the bin van driving round.
The police are very alert but very friendly.

I have my cake and tea tray.
I’m getting VERY excited - Peregrine is a bit of a looker.
I’m waving my flag!

Hoorah for the royal wedding in Playmoland.

JakeBallardswife · 12/10/2018 09:28

I’m excited !

PhilomenaButterfly · 12/10/2018 09:32

Our school caretaker is working on a Lego Royal Wedding, I'll post the Instagram link when the photos are up. I knew I could rely on him! 😂

SoMuchToBits · 12/10/2018 09:34

Thank you, Philomena!

There will be some more photos a bit later, but I'm having to ration them, due to the 30 a day limit!

Any scandal in one of the families we need to be aware of?

SoMuchToBits · 12/10/2018 09:39

Not so far as I'm aware, Hungry - the Playmoland Royal family appear to be quite boring really. And nothing to report from the Banksbrooks either...
