I'd just like to say thanks, on behalf of myself and my beautiful wife Mel, for all the good wishes that we have been sent (the presents have not arrived yet though!) Just to scoff a rumour or two, I'm not a child-groom, I'm 22, and contrary to AAC's suggestion we did not marry for the money! (now where's that cheque??)
Thanks again. Please be aware that there may be a 'Do not Disturb' sign on the chatroom door from time to time. (It might not be a glamourous honeymoon destination but it's @#$%& - with the money not coming through yet and all).
And thanks again to AAC - it was a lovely service!!
Wilfred and Dido say they'd like to be married whenever it's possible to fit them in. They also say that guests are welcome to throw rice if they like, but prawns and marshmallows would be even more welcome.
Dido says she knows all about Wilfred's issues, but she also knows he's absolutely soppy about her. Aaaaaah...
No, that's definitely not my Dido. She's very sweet and not terribly bright, and she hasn't worked out how to use e-mail yet.
Wilfred is not pleased that someone has been impersonating his lady love for such low purposes. He says if he finds out who it is, he'll give them a hiccupping they'll never forget!
Perhaps this dodo lives on Mauritius and knew Dido when she was there, which is how she came to be using her name. She may have decided that getting married to a dodo in the UK is the most reliable way to emigrate. She may feel that she's too old to be adopted into a family as Dido was.
Have you tried communicating with this dodo yourself, Ptolemy, in an effort to find out what is going on?
