Don't suppose anybody anybody in Wakefield area is free to be a witness at our wedding tomorrow afternoon?

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

It looks great! Well done to you all - an especially to Knickers who stood in Wakefield with knickers on her head! Fabulous!

onadietcokebreak · 01/07/2010 08:52

Congratulations! You and you DH look so happy and what a lovely unusual story to remember.

Hope your family dont take it too badly- remember that it was your day and your wishes that were important.

You all look gorgeous! Congratulations.

Such a fab thread. Huge congratulations You all looked amazing.

Now does anyone in Stockport fancy getting hitched? Thursdays and Fridays generally good for me, I can do knickers too, or bra if required...

DewinDoeth · 01/07/2010 10:34

Read this yesterday, came back today to see what happened. Now I'm crying at work!

Congratulations- looks so perfect, and I'm so happy for you all.

(Sorry about the rush of emotion!)

Congratulations!

robino, you and your DH look fab, and really happy, and your DDs are supercute.

I am having to pretend my watery eyes are hayfever (made the mistake of looking at the pictures at work)

We just had witnesses at our wedding too and it was so lovely and intimate, I'd recommend it to anyone.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 01/07/2010 11:03

Best thread EVER!
Many congratulations, you all looked so happy and smiley and beautiful

Have just celebrated my 15th wedding anniversary.

ExitPursuedByABear · 01/07/2010 14:25

Damn - in sweaty London all day yesterday so missed all this. Congratulations to you all. We were told that you couldn't have random witnesses off the streets as they are meant to confirm that they know you. Belle and Knickers were fantastic and you all look so happy. Gorgeous girls (all of you )

PollyLogos · 01/07/2010 14:29

what a lovely thread!

Robino I wish you and your husband many, many years of happiness!

robino · 01/07/2010 16:23

Classics?

Have just returned from a day supply teaching sweaty, hot, grumpy, unmotivated Y9s and 10s - maybe a honeymoon would have been a good idea

Must dash, need to wake DD2 from a very late nap in order that we can celebrate her 2nd birthday
