tradition!
I would love some telegrams for our wedding
And so...I will set you all a bit of a challenge out there
With the wedding only 2 weeks away.....I want you to send me your best telegram message
You can type it in the comments box, or if you are feeling all technical you can email a photo of it
( jgshefield@hotmail.com) ..whatever way you do it, the winner will be picked out on the 5th March
( the night before the wedding)
The winner will receive a genuie welsh love spoon! ( ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!!)
third attempt to send this. I recall that when reading a telegram the word stop is said to indicate a period. So here goes
ReplyDeletemay you never stop loving and respecting one another stop having more laughter and good times than tears and stressful times stop remembering the many blogreaders,family and friends who care for you and wish you a very happy marriage
Love knows no reason, no boundaries, no distance STOP
ReplyDeleteIt has a sole intention of bringing people together to a time called forever STOP

Dear Professor and Merry Ham -
ReplyDeleteI'm including a few words of advice from the telegram folks...
STOP and smell the roses (stop)
Don't STOP us now (stop)
Don't STOP believing (stop)
And if you ever (stop) Ever (stop) Want to say "STOP the world, I want to get off" remind yourselves to: STOP in the name of love! (stop)
Seriously - Always and only the best for you both, with a big side-serving of laughter. (Full Stop)
Errrr, thought I should include that in my neck of the woods calling someone a 'Ham' means they are someone who likes to make others laugh, tell stories, etc...
Deletethis is my favorite telegram ever, from Jewish mother to son:
ReplyDelete"Start worrying. Details to follow!"
Me too
Delete'To dr. Chris and nurse John. Don't stop. Carry on.'
ReplyDeleteThinking cap has gone on and I am brushing up my skills to photograph a telegram and send it to you (if I can manage that). Two weeks to go - getting near - keep off the Scotch eggs so that your suit still fits by the way.
ReplyDeleteAre all the dogs coming to the wedding in their best bibs and tuckers?
I think KKC's comment is absolutely brilliant.
ReplyDeleteTo John and Chris. Stop.
Have a wonderful day and a lifetime of happiness. Stop.
To John and Chris Stop
ReplyDeleteJust remember Stop
He is right Stop
Love Shoshanah
I shall tell you two what Granny told me:
ReplyDeleteNever go to sleep angry, you don't know who might not wake up.
Marriage takes 110% effort all the time by both.
Remember to listen and never forget to laugh together.
Happy Wedding, y'all!
Will think about it...quality of my good wishes for you both not to be measured by the sharpness (or otherwise) of my wit. For my money, Shoshanah has a good one! Weaver of Grass has good advice too!!
ReplyDeleteJohn, whatever you're doing STOP It's annoying Chris so STOP
ReplyDeleteJust stop STOP
Dear Chris and John - stop - best wishes as you sail into life together - stop - damn the torpedos - stop - full speed ahead!

Here's wishing you both health, wealth, joy and happiness forever! xx

ReplyDelete“May you have warmth in your igloo, oil in your lamp, and peace in your heart”
ReplyDeleteWhoops forgot the 'stop'
DeleteBest wishes to you both
Forty plus years ago, the minister who was conducting our wedding service, suggested that three words were all I needed to remember on our wedding day. They were -Aisle, Alter, Him- and do you know ... he was right.
ReplyDeleteDammit.... the last word should be spelt Hymn. Sorry!
