DP and I have "hypothetically" listed who we'd invite to our wedding

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

After an offer from my DM to have the reception at her 3 bed terraced house including food (from Waitrose, no less ), providing we sorted/forked out the civil ceremony.

BUT it amounts to 95 people!!!!!!

56 are purely family. That doesnt even include Busty and Ray (I'm buggered if I know who they are, but the are relatives of DP I've never heard of, let alone met so they certainly arent coming!).

There isn't a one I'd miss off the list either. (Although, contentiously, it does included children - especially since we have 2 of our own )

Blardy Hell!

I am willing to put myself forward as the MN representative!

Mars, you are number 57

So that list needs refining! Who would you want to hold your hand and make you laugh when you were having a bad day? Invite them. Stuff the rest. Busty and Ray can do caberet up the hill.

She's already asked me, Madison and Nigey baby

Well, thats just it frumps - I do want them all there.

Boris, Nige and Maddy included

Mars - if you brought your clan along - that'd push us to 3 figures

But, I'm guessing after your posts the other day on the children at wedding thread.....I shouldnt be worried

I'm getting married soon,

Well, Nigey baby said we can TTC in September when Madison starts school.

But he also wants to be married before we have a baby.

So that counts as a proposal, doesnt it??

So, how well does your mum know her neighbours? Do you have any other rellies that could open their doors slightly wider? I mean its only a few people.

My goodness! So I've also got to get to a wedding in Cardiff! Fair enough!

Don't you fret my luvverly.... I won't be bringing my clan...........

The guest list is without a doubt the WORST part of getting married.

lol - Busty & Ray

Hate to add further problems, but does that include all the people that your DPs and PILs are going to want to invite? (Busty and Ray will be top of the list there of course.)

If your DM is doing the reception I'll bet my bottom dollar she has a little list of 50 or so bosom acquaintances which will pop up. And by the time your PILs weigh in, you'll be lucky to squeeze in the front door yourself...

I live in SWANSEA Mars

You salsa slut

Ah - already considered parents requests - dont worry

Busty and Ray would not be wanted by DP's parents, no fear. [phew]

I'll take that as a YES YOU ARE COMING YOU GORGEOUS BABE!

Looking forward to it Boris!

VVVV........... (you haven't emailed me incidentally)....... can you start a thread about what music to play at your reception please?

Just so that I can know which dress I should wear..... full out tart or refined and sophisticated (may have to pop out and buy one of those though!)

Message withdrawn

I've never seen you "refined and sophisticated" so that'd be great to see

(BTW - you emailed at my home email and I have only just got in - and replied - because i've been at work)

Pruni

LIving over the brush???? Im guessing is living in sin?

I didnt know you werent married VVVQV

Nope.

Been living in happy sin for 10 years pretty much.

Er, why is MARSY number 57?

[wounded]

Youre family, arent you? (54-56 )

is this a 'hypothetical list' for a hypothetical wedding?..or is there a date set??? Do I need to buy a hat?...>

Can I just say congratulations to you VVQ and to WB too, really are you going to have a lo with Nigel, that's really exciting
This is a lovely thread

Nicely sidled, VVV

54, 55, 56 - is DH1 not invited then? Or is DS2 counted as number 5 on your list?

Oh, yes, congratulations, VVV and WB!
