That's it really. We're running away and getting married by ourselves with the DC (you can't really call it eloping when it's Wakefield ) tomorrow afternoon.

We were going to accost people in the street and still will if this doesn't work but thought we'd give it a shot here.

We can offer you a free glass of bubbly in return

Bloody hell! I kind of imagined this would fail, fade away into the deep dark depths of chat and we'd have to grab two grannies from a bus to be our witnesses.

Now our "nobody need know elopement" is erm, rather bigger than imagined.

The horse and carriage awaits - ta-ra!
