Don't suppose anybody anybody in Wakefield area is free to be a witness at our wedding tomorrow afternoon?

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 buzzing - too late, but thanks.

Not asking anyone we know; it'll all get back to family and make life more complicated than need be!

And I suspect the danger of choosing weirdos in Wakey bus station is just as great as finding them on here!

You might get volunteers! My parents got married in a whopping great church but only had around 10 guests, so some little old ladies wandered in off the street to see what was going on. The same could happen if you're dressed for a wedding!

I never honestly thought I'd be saying this but I wish I lived in Wakefield! Good luck tomorrow and, as my FIL used to say "May the Mice never leave your cupboards hungry"!

That's a shame, but have a great time anyway!
How about asking in the army recruitment place (over the road from the registry office) and getting some men in uniform?

Thanks for all the good wishes.

SagacityNell - thanks for the kind offer but you'd practically double the cost of the wedding !

If only I finished teaching earlier and could make it as I'm almost in Wakefield!

I wonder if Justabout is around - she'd love that kind of thing ( I think!!!)

May I ask ....why Wakefield

Have a great day
