Daily mirror today, Pop idol creator simon fuller 47, will wed long term girlfriend Natalie swanson in a multi million pound three day ceremony in californias nepa valley at the end of the month. He is a v ery private man but after dating her for a few years he has finaly popped the queaton. money is no object and its going to be one hell of a party. The guest list is thought to include claudia schfiffer, leona lewis, the spice girls, david beckham and simon cowell, etc etc. wonder if D wsill get an invitation if so bet he will be gutted to miss it.

I'm amazed - I just never thought of him as the marrying kind.

I must admit I had thought the same.

Let's hope it goes well.

It's a shame it's another time when Darius will be missing. He always seems to be unavailable when the members of the 19 stable are together.

 

Right now though he has to be in every GWTW show.

 

It happens to us all - events we desperately want to go to but can't because of work commitments.

I thinl I'd rather go to GWTYW than Simon's wedding.

The wedding I was at turned into a three day celebration too.

 

There was the rehearsal followed by the rehearsal dinner and party and those who were still standing went on to the local club until 2.30 am and then for a nightcap back in the hotel. next day there was the wedding followed by photographs in 3 different locations and cocktails for those not invloved in the formal photos and then the main reception with the walking wounded including the bride in her gown and kilted males from the wedding party descending once again on the local club.

 

Surprisingly, next day only one person looked really under the weather and the thirty or so of us who were still there had a wonderful long brunch together. It was Mothers' Day in Canada and Brunch is a tradition in all restaurants.

 

I had an absolute ball. I spent the whole weekend laughing.

 

I hope Simon enjoys his 3 days as much as I enjoyed those.

 

 

 

My Mum loves the seperate Canadian Mother's Day as well. It sounds great, BT

Great fun and a lovely church service with a string quartet. There were no hymns and I didn't even notice until my sister remarked on it.

Welcome back Baytree, have missed your posts. Sounds like you had a wonderful wonderful time.

It was lovely meeting up with old friends from around the world and making new ones. It was a wonderful company - very easy to be part of.

 

Neverthe less, it's nice to be back. I missed you all. I didn't have time to find an internet cafe.

See, slacking. Wasting time sleeping no doubt

Actually I didn't waste much time sleeping at all.

I never waste time sleeping. The time I waste is when I'm trying to sleep.

sounds lovely, one thing I always recall is the brunches in Canada!! eat what you want from the lovely buffet - and all the free coffee you can drink, its such a shame we dont have those over here. my mum benefits from the canadian mothers day as my sister always sends her flowers from Canada then.

My brother used to get upset as my Uncle kept sending Mum flowers on behalf of my brother as he'd forgotten. No matter how many times we explained that the date was different he still went through the sactimonious speel of a son forgetting. Mum was upset that he thought like that and wouldn't listen. My brother fumed.

My son always gives/sends me flowers on the local mothers' day wherever he is in the world. I don't worry about dates - it's the thought that counts.

 

He presented me with a big bouquet of flowers last Sunday. They were gorgeous. I kept them in the hotel until I had to go and then passed them on to my nephew's girlfriend, who lives in Toronto.

It is the thought and Mum is happy to have two mother's days.

True and I don't mind what the card says either. "Mom" is OK by me.

 

I especially like the fact that although he is married, he goes out personally and chooses a particular card with me in mind.

I seem to be posting in the wrong threads or losing posts. I'll need to take a look.
