Post by: sellickbhoy on June 04, 2009, 10:39:45 pm
well, we might try for october - as we are off to thailand in november, so that would work out easy. but we don't want guaranteed miserable weather - so we'll probably go for next year - july/august

the motorhome is out for the honeymoon - she wants luxury (she's marrying the wrong guy)

thanks for all the kind words

Ungrateful madam, only joking (she's quite right luxury every time). What part of Thailand you off to? I was there in January,we did Phuket but that was way too busy and commercialised for us - but beautiful, the first time we went was over 10 yrs ago and we did Bangkok and Hua Hin. We spent a night this year visiting friends in Koh Lanta and we fell in love with this small uncommercialised island. We loved it so much that we have booked again for January next year and I can't wait for 3 weeks on the sun. This year we also did 5 nights in Hong Kong and would not recommend that to anyone!!!!!!

Post by: sellickbhoy on June 04, 2009, 11:01:22 pm
couple of nights in bangkok and then 10 days at Railay which i believe is near Krabbi but it isn't at all commercialised or spoilt by party going travellers!!

Congratulations! This will be our first TAS wedding, I think. We've had one baby and one on the way - how wonderful!

Congratulations to you both!  Hope you have a wonderful time in Thailand - I'm very jealous as I worked there for a year and would love to go back.  I'm guessing the new building isn't going to be luxrious enough for the wedding reception!! ;D

the new stables won't be big enough for a venue - but i'm planning on having a get together/BBQ and sing-along the day after the wedding - so it could be the venue for that!!!

Great news! and if you want a photographer... uh, forget that bit, congratulations :)

Post by: sellickbhoy on June 06, 2009, 09:45:25 pm
one of my good friends is a wedding photographer - i've asked him if he wants an invite or the business!!
Title: Re: Who's getting married in the morning..ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Post by: cmorrell on June 06, 2009, 09:50:25 pm
Good call on the "or" part there... I've now shot for three friends and find I stay pretty much in photographer mode through it, so find it very difficult to relax and enjoy the wedding. Next set of friends have booked me as well .. I'm kind of looking forward to the next time friends choose to use someone else so I can just be a guest and try not to keep checking on what the photographer is doing!
Title: Re: Who's getting married in the morning..ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Post by: sellickbhoy on June 06, 2009, 10:07:48 pm
yeah, i'm not going to use him (unless he gets another booking which would mean he couldn't come - in that case i'll book him!)

he's offered to do the morning and ceremony shots for free so long as once the meal starts he can bin the camera. so that suits me,

Ahhh!! Congratulations Sellickboy! So are you making a decent woman of Karen, or is she making a decent man of you...? A tall order, is it?

Hope all the plans and aspirations work out fine, along with the weather!

Guess you'll be needing a sitter for the smallholding? Better plan that, too.... Probably cost more than the honeymoon! (Hope not!)

John

Post by: sellickbhoy on June 11, 2009, 09:36:40 am
Thanks John, i don't think either of us is trying to make something of the other - we'll just settle with what we've got after years of putting up with each other!! LOL

there will be no need for a smallholding babysitter - 1st off, i've no livestock at the moment, but plans are afoot for Chickens soon.

but wedding plans should involve a cull of said chickens in preparation for wedding feast - along with a nice crop of veg from the garden, hopefully enough  summer rasps to make the pudding

the garden will be decimated by this wedding!! Well, that's the plan!!

Post by: Fluffywelshsheep on June 11, 2009, 10:19:25 am
how about this for an idea, All the smallholder guest bring veg/or animals /or animal products instead of gifts lol

Linz

I think i would decine the offer of manure unless you wanted that lol
Title: Re: Who's getting married in the morning..ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Post by: Farmer on June 11, 2009, 08:44:22 pm
Great idea from Fluffy...but could I suggest they DON'T bring them to the actual ceremony ...the thought of all those animals fighting over fresh fruit and veg whilst the preacher is trying to read out the wedding vows is possibly tempting fate...you might miss hear and end up married to a goat!

Good luck anyway
