    I'll just send a passive aggressive note about how children make a wedding and that because of your no children policy we'll have to decline.

    Oh my god it was just the biggest surprise of my life!!!! I was just at my desk at work and next thing I know I get the SWEETEST PM from Toots asking for my hand in modding!!! I just burst into tears and I couldn't speak for about 5 minutes. I had to check that she had asked the Admin's permission to ask me, and she said that they had given their approval and were happy for us to start our modding life together!

    We're going to pick out a ban hammer together soon!!

    We'll accept it if it's a top of the line Kenwood Chef, or else a cash equivalent.

    Dinner will be turkey and ham, and you'd damn well better be happy about it. Oh, and you have to pay for it yourself (separate from a gift). We'll be opening our gifts during the meal, so we'll know exactly what you gave us while you're sitting in front of us.

    /edit: Oh yeah, mobile phones are banned on the day to prevent uploads to social media. Please give all of your valuable devices to my sketchy-looking cousin that you'll see hanging around.

    Bride posts here asking if everyone's MOH is as crap as the one she's bestowed the 'honour' on and what can she do because the MOH hasn't done a tap for the wedding.

    Count yourself lucky! You'd have had to pay for your own dress, hair, makeup, accommodation and shoes! (although you'd have gotten a €2 fascinator from Claire's Accessories for your BM present)

    A few more ideas for you here, Faith and Toots. It starts with this beaut...(slightly adapted).

    Cash we asked for because cash we need
    For our modrimony to proceed
    Having checked our wishing well
    We think some people might not have rung the bell.
    If you’re one who has forgotten
    Don’t sit at home feeling rotten
    Just use the bank details at the end of this ditty
    And you can still contribute to our modrimony kitty

    :D

    Oh there's dinner, did you not get the price list menu included with the invitation? You need to ring the venue and let them know you want dinner. They accept all major credit cards.
