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

MoonFaceMama · 29/06/2010 23:56

Congratulations!

Have you found someone? I've skipped to last page, sorry! If you are stuck i can come from leeds, live near m1, though would have to bring ds 20 weeks!

robino · 30/06/2010 07:13

Moonface - thank you, I have two willing victims.

I do hope you're not all getting your hopes up too high, we're really not very romantic, are likely to burst into inappropriate fits of nonsense and the urchins are likely to run around causing mayhem. Although, the less notice they take of it the better really because we're beginning to realise that they're likely to blurt out to all and sundry what has happened!

Anyhoo, as one does on one's wedding day I'm off to deal with an ant infestation in the kitchen - as you've all been so helpful, do you have any ideas for that one?

It's your wedding day!

No idea about ants, but I'm hopping on here in the hopes that we get pictures.

mrs68 · 30/06/2010 07:37

AlCrowley · 30/06/2010 07:40

Maybe Belle or Knickers could buy you an ant trap as a wedding present

Happy Wedding Day.

On your Wedding Day

Today is a day you will always remember
the greatest in anyones life
You'll start the day off just two people in love
and end it as husband and wife.

Its a brand new beginning the start of a journey
with moments to cherish and treasure
and although there'll be times when you both disagree
these will surely be outweighed by pleasure

You'll have heard many words of advice in the past
when the secrets of marriage were spoken
but you know that the answers lie hidden inside
where the bond of true love lies unbroken

So live happy forever as lovers and friends
its the dawn of a new life for you
as you stand together with love in your eyes
from the moment you whisper 'i do'

And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real
may success find its way to your hearts
tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys
but today is the day it all starts.

Hope you have a lovely day!

Ant powder only thing that works for ants I think. You could try leading them outside with a trail of sugar and then getting DC's to stamp on them?

Or just ignore them and enjoy your day feeling special all day!!

MoonFaceMama · 30/06/2010 08:01

yay! Have a great day! It's great that you are doing your own thing. We had an cheep unconventional too, and it was fantastic. Enjoy!

TheLadyEvenstar · 30/06/2010 08:08
