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

Congrats!!!

m0nkeynuts · 30/06/2010 12:11

(I, too, wish I lived in Wakefield!)

Housemum · 30/06/2010 12:11

Here's wishing you a lovely day! (Am hoping to here that Knickers has lived up to her name and is wearing them as a fascinator )

robino · 30/06/2010 12:15

You lot are all such a nice nest of vipers .

The kids are asleep, the bubbly is cooling in the freezer (remind me to take it out) and I'm just making egg fried rice for lunch.

housemum I too hope that the knickerfascinator makes an appearance

AlCrowley · 30/06/2010 12:25

Dare ya knickers ;)

PaceOfLife · 30/06/2010 12:28

The seem to be a few of you lovely ladies from Wakefield. Please feel free to start a chat thread in the Wakefield local part of mumsnet. It would be great if we could arrange a meetup for during the summer holidays.

knickers0nmyhead · 30/06/2010 12:30

Oh no, ive been dared

AlCrowley · 30/06/2010 12:32

Quick! Someone double dare her

littlepinkpear · 30/06/2010 12:38

treble dare you knickers. which you cant break forever and ever and ever and stuff.

DH called to dicuss our estate agent and had nothing but me blabbering about jumping in the car and going over to Wakefield Reg Office to see someone I've never met or know come out after her wedding which I heard about on the internet. I wonder why I need to get back to work after mat leave and he thinks I'm bonkers

That aside Robino, I hope you all have a wonderful day!

BelleDameSansMerci · 30/06/2010 12:43

Heavens - I've missed loads this morning (while shopping). Off to make myself look presentable and then ensure that I get to the Registry Office in good time

It's lovely day here...

Now, do I wear Boden and make it really Mumsnet? Rhetorical because it's possibly the only dress that currently fits.

littlepinkpear · 30/06/2010 12:49

Belle you have to wear Boden! (possibly with some spanx underneath?) you should also take fruit shoots and sausage rolls for after the ceremony.

perhaps a leather pouff with a slight odour as a wedding gift?

knickers0nmyhead · 30/06/2010 13:00

No boden here....although I may be in possession of a sausage roll

cathcat · 30/06/2010 13:01

This thread is making me teary.
Congratulations and hope it is all fab.

knickers0nmyhead · 30/06/2010 13:10

Bugger...the dress I was going to wear is way too big!!!!

Will have to set off soon so see you all there!!!

robino · 30/06/2010 13:12

Sorry there's no room in the car knickers, see you there!

How exciting! Only an hour to go! Photos need posting to the appropriate profile pages. Especially of gussetted-fascinator-chic.

Robino - sorry I'm just to far away in York but will be smiling to myself at 2:30 as I think of you loons all.

williewalshsballs · 30/06/2010 13:17

knickers0nmyhead · 30/06/2010 13:19

Patchybob · 30/06/2010 13:20

InmyheadIminParis · 30/06/2010 13:27

Congratulations Robino! Have a lovely, lovely day.

Knickers and Belle - we're proud of you! .

Is it sad to say that this thread has made my day?

InmyheadIminParis · 30/06/2010 13:30

Patchybob you sound like a Dimbleby-esque royal wedding commentator... you know, filling for Britain in the 6 hours before anything actually happens...

Does Belle have an iphone? D'you think she'll keep us updated?

AlCrowley · 30/06/2010 13:32

No iPhine needed. Knickers has "opera mini on a tocco ultra"

AlCrowley · 30/06/2010 13:33

iPhone even!

Songbird · 30/06/2010 13:35
