Mon Sep 04, 2006 8:35 pm

Tim has just proposed to me (well about an hour ago) and I've said yes. You lot are the first to know.

However, he's said he want's to get married in the Spring and I've said it'll have to be March 'cos of the allotment. :oops:

Congratulations Chantal and Tim.Really pleased for you both.

So, down to the nitty gritty then. Can me, Grock and Herby come to the wedding then. I promise to be good (well, nearly) but can't speak for Herby and Grock :twisted:

lizzie · Mon Sep 04, 2006 9:49 pm

Yey. We could have the blokes forming an arch of honour with spades, hoes or forks!!!!

The choir could sing "I've got a brand new combine harvester!!!"

Fantastic. We could have sprout wine for a toast :twisted:

Well, well, well, you never fail to amaze me Chantal.
We have had a serious chimney fire as it's happened, and now a marriage proposal within a short time of it happening, you really do keep us sitting on the edges of our seats.

All joking apart the warmest of congratulations to Tim and yourself.

Please don't take your laptop on honeymoon with you, i don't think us lot are ready for that, well maybe i can think of one or two. :shock:

I really am pleased for you Chantal.

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Theres no fool like an old fool.

P.S does Tim really know what he is letting himself in for. :wink:

Now you are such an allotment celebrity, will 'Hello' and 'OK' magazines be fighting it out for your favour to feature the wedding in their pages?!! :wink:

Many congratulations! Glad to see you have your priorities right with the timing!

Chantal, congratulations and a BIG bearhug from me for you and a raised glass to that very lucky and oft-maligned young fiance of yours.

Must have been all the publicity you have been getting, he didn't want to loose his attractive young blonde, with her own teeth and allotments, to all those high-rollin international jet-setting allotment gardeners like OldHerbaceous. :twisted:

You mean you aren't already married! :shock:

I'm deeply shocked.
Seriously, many, many warm congratulations.

Hi Chantal and Tim,

Well hearty congratulations :!:

The burning question is will Rocky and Rosie be with you on the honeymoon :?:

I couldn't be happier for the both of you.
JB.

Thanks everyone and to try and answer ALL your questions:

I was on line as Tim was on the phone informing what seemed to be most of the Western Hemisphere and I though I may as well tell you all as you're like an extended family.

Sorry Jenny, NOT already married but been together for five years.

We've both got a heavy day at work so decided to do the champagne thing another time, probably with my sister.

My new name (assuming I use it!) will be Crofts.

Rocky is being trained to carry a little basket with the rings. :lol:

Rosie is busy sorting out a posh collar with a bow on and possible a nice little bath chair to be pushed along in (she's very old).

Rosie & Rocky will NOT be coming on our honeymoon and that in itself is a matter of some debate as I won't go away and leave Rosie as she's so old so a honeymoon might just have to wait. (Tim does know this already.)

OK & Hello magazines can take a running jump but KG would be more than welcome; they may even be interested if people are hurling vegetables at me instead of confetti! :shock:

Could I also respectfully point out that courgettes are not in season in March.

Jo. Pink? Really? :lol:

The guard of honour sounds great. :lol:

I'm going to try and arrange a small wedding and a big party so I'll keep you posted with the details should this happen. If all else fails we'll have champagne at the Malvern Spring Show.

A cyber hen night sounds good, the sprout wine could flow and we could sing all those allotment drinking songs such as

Little Red Courgette
Bohemian Raspberry
the collected works of Shallot Church and Prefab Sprout, not to mention the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and the Smashing Pumpkins. :lol:

Sorry Peter, I'm not blonde any more, I'm a brunette.

And finally, I think (tell me if I've missed any) Tim is neither young (well he's my age) nor is he maligned (much). :lol:

Tue Sep 05, 2006 8:53 am

Trust me to have missed the excitement last night. :evil:

Congratulations Chantal. Does Tim know what he's letting himself in for?

I'm getting married!
