Just wanted to share with you all the happy news that I got married yesterday !!!!
We have been together for almost 11 years and have 4 daughters and 10 grandchildren between us. We didn't tell anyone, apart from our 2 witnesses, that we were getting married. The logistics of getting everyone together were immense so we will probably have a big party later in the year. All the girls are very happy for us as I knew they would be.

Congratulation sometimes its the best way .
A nice summer party sounds good depending on the spread of all the families perhaps a gazebo at an open air concert

Fabulous and many, many congratulations. We also got married several years ago after more than a decade together, with minimal fuss and it was great. ??

Congratulations and Best Wishes for the Future. Know someone who did the same keeping quiet about her wedding. Met her in a store where she was buying a meal deal. Commented that she looked very elegant for a change (but of a joke with her) and she just said she was going to a wedding. Monday morning arrives at work announcing it was her own wedding she was going to. Blew all of us away

Congratulations. We did the same after 7 years together, although we didn't tell anyone at all - we asked a couple of passers by to be our witnesses. We showed them our passports to prove we were who we said we were and afterwards gave them a tenner for a drink to say thank you for their time. They were a lovely young couple, students I think, who seemed chuffed to be asked. 22 years later we are still together and many of our friends who had big weddings have gone their separate ways, so from experience I can echo what others have said. Wishing you a happy long marriage. x

Congratulations Sar what a lovely thing to do - as someone upthread said, it's all about the marriage, not the wedding. Perfect!
