I had two lovely Mnetters at my elopement in the Highlands. It was a lovely day.

AquaticSewingMachine · 31/10/2022 20:14

Where in London and what day? I've always wanted to do this.

GardenMind · 31/10/2022 20:18

Yes l can

Shannith · 31/10/2022 20:26

Hi - I could do it if you need anyone - though you've had so many lovely offers you could easily end up with a big wedding. Grin

Congratulations- what a marvellous thing to do. I didn't want a big wedding either and would have loved to have done it your way!

Pinkywoo · 31/10/2022 20:33

We eloped to Scotland for exactly the same reason, and had a Mumsnet witness who I'm still friends with. Congratulations!

metalanddust · 31/10/2022 20:53

@pinkywoo that's brilliant 💕

If it was yesterday when i was in London i would have happily been a witness at your wedding. Sadly i can't as home in Yorkshire 😥hope you have a fantastic day.

SpikyHatePotato · 31/10/2022 21:06

I'll be in London on Monday 12th, but not any other Mondays in December, and would be happy to help. I've been a MN elopement witness once before (under another username)

HowdyDudey · 31/10/2022 21:10

This is so exciting!
I’m South West London and free from 16th December if that’s any help?

Mama_bear · 31/10/2022 21:13

I can do it, would love to. Let me know if you still need someone.

DutchessOfMuck · 31/10/2022 21:23

Would love to op but I am in Scotland. Wishing you a fantastic wedding day and all the best for the future.

comfortablyfrumpy · 31/10/2022 21:30

I wish I could help - but bumping this for you. Congratulations 🍾

@shannith thank you so much, I don't know why I can't seem to find the dm option on the app I might look with fresh eyes tomorrow

I think you have to be on the browser/webpage to send a DM...certainly used to be

lightlypoachedeyeballs · 01/11/2022 07:34

Ooh I can probably make that.

Which date ?

Sniffypete · 01/11/2022 07:35

How exciting!!! If I were to get married this would be how I would do it.

RetreatRetreatRetreat · 01/11/2022 07:37

metalanddust · 31/10/2022 19:54

@RetreatRetreatRetreat omg 😊 did you? Did you have witnesses from here too? And thank you for offering too. This is the first time I've ever posted/started a thread so bear with me!!

I had two close friends but nearly ended up with one from here as the train strikes made it all a bit of a nightmare!

Honestly, our wedding was amazing.

You have to go onto the site on a desktop to PM

GardenMind · 01/11/2022 07:48

Love is in the air... Good luck to both of you and your new journey... 💓 if you need a witness happy to do that ...

BlueBar · 01/11/2022 08:06

I'm not local, but don't know if I would actually. Wouldn't anyone be concerned about facilitating a marriage the couple's friends and family don't support/aren't included in? Obviously there are numerous possible reasons for that, but to do it for someone without knowing any of the background seems uncomfortable to me.

I wish all the very best OP

metalanddust · 01/11/2022 08:11

Ok that's helpful thank you, will go on desktop later, and I'm happy to share background privately, or connect via Facebook / Instagram but there's really not much too it other than we don't want a big wedding or any fuss!
