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

Congratulations, what a lovely couple you are and such gorgeous little girls.

Belle and Knickers, you are fab.

AnyFuleKno · 01/07/2010 17:16

Really lovely thread! Such a tasteful affair, and you all look lovely in the pics. Love your dd's dresses.

I got married by the same registrar, isn't she fantastic?

AnyFuleKno · 01/07/2010 17:25

I should say me and dh got married by the same registrar!

solo · 01/07/2010 17:34

Congratulations! to you all what a lovely thread! I'm very tearful

Knickers, you are exactly how I imagined!

knickers0nmyhead · 01/07/2010 17:44

is that a good or bad thing solo?

Eglu · 01/07/2010 18:10

Congratulations Robino family. You all look great.

Another MN at it's best thread.

CJCregg · 01/07/2010 19:54

Adding my congratulations to the ever-increasing pile!

LOVE the photos, you all look gorgeous. (Another phwaor for DH, there you go.)

But HOW are you going to stop your DDs spilling the beans? Even if they don't know exactly what was going on, surely they're going to be talking about 'that nice lady with the knickers on her head' and prompting some intense questioning?

Loved the knickers, too.

What a wonderful day all round

solo · 01/07/2010 20:26

LOL! Knickers, you look fab! so it's a good thing!

mummytowillow · 01/07/2010 20:37

Isn't Mumsnet must fantastic!! How lovely that two people would do that for a fellow mumsnetter!

You all looked lovely and extremely happy, congratulations!

Norfolkbumpkin · 01/07/2010 21:38

Just like to add my congratulations, what lovely photo's too. Would love this thread to catch the eye of the press, a feelgood thread if there ever was one!

Hi All, Mr. Robino here. Thanks for all the nice messsages - it's a wonder there hasn't been a flood with all the crying! As you can see from the photos (thanks Knickers!) I am a lucky bloke. I know you're all shocked at my statement so I'll put that right - I am a VERY VERY lucky bloke. Thanks to all mumsnetters.
Finally, custard creams - I know it's important to you lot.

Congrats - lovely happy pictures! Heres to many more years together!

If you ask nicely there may be someone on MN who is a whizz with Photoshop who could blend out your tan lines and you would have a fab set of pictures to capture the day! You know the power MNetters have!

StainedGlass · 01/07/2010 22:53

Custard Creams are the king of the biscuits - good choice...

Joekate · 01/07/2010 22:55

Lovely lovely photos. Well done Robino - you all look just fab. Here's to a long and happy life together. How cute are your kids!! I'm still in post married bliss and love seeing people getting married.
