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

Sorry - Town Hall!!! Think I can find that one.

Oooh, I love weddings.

BelleDameSansMerci · 29/06/2010 20:44

I live on the outskirts of Huddersfield (approx 20 mins to Wakefield) - sort of near Honley. How about you, Knickers? I only have a two seater car but I could pick you up?

robino · 29/06/2010 20:45

Really? Wow!

We're wearing suit/ frock as appropriate and the DDs may wear a frock or be starkers depending on how the mood takes them but honestly, turn up in whatever! Paint-spattered dungarees if you so wish.

I'll be there..! I am 5'5" tall with dark hair in a bob. I'll be the one looking nervously around for you.

AlCrowley · 29/06/2010 20:49

This is so exciting!! Can we have wedding pics afterwards please?

robino · 29/06/2010 20:49

And we'll be the tall dark bloke, aqua-frocked me and three and two year old girls.

Looking distinctly unprepared for a wedding.

Oh Congratulations Robino - how exciting! Wishing you every happiness.

My mum was once stopped outside Bromley registry office and asked to be a witness. She did it and then ran off to buy them a card while they were having their photo's taken!
