Wedding News

So there's a wedding going on? That's really nice. Tin has sent me over to help out in whatever way I can. She also told me that you have some strange tradition in Needlehole where all of the men take off their shirts during the day and where tuxedos at night? Strange tradition, but I'll respect it. So do you ladies need my help lifting anything?

Oh Pretty. There's hardly any to try on... but I guess it's a start.

We'll have to try them all of course, they may look better on than off...

{{{Ooooh Pretty, don't be so saucy... The Shoppe Lady might hear you.. }}}

Come on... which will we try first... Yes, yes... Uncle Odo will pay for a first class ticket to Italy if necessary, but he'll want to know we've tried on all the dresses in Forumshire first... You know what he's like...

{{{And stop looking at negligees ... you're so much like your brother.. Sorry - no you're not AT ALL like him.. happy now? }}}

We'll grab this... and this.. and this one.. Where's the change room? Oh here they are... Will you help me get out of my dress...?

{{{Oh stop it, Pretty! Stop it! Stop it! I mean it! I do... }}}

Beren! Sir!

Umm... would you mind... hrmm... stepping out of the changeroom for a start, Mr Beren...

Of course, I'm sorry, Tin told me it was custom in Needlehole for men to help the women when shoping by holding the clothes they are wearing while they are trying on new clothes. While shirtless. I'll just step outside and do some one handed push-ups while you ladies finish up

Is he gone, Pretty? Oh yes.. Customs? Needlehole customs, did he say? I bet he's been talking to Orwell and Petty again... That was quite embarrassing... but I must say.. he was cute... Noooo, Pretty. We're NOT inviting him on our Honeymoon! No way... All right, we'll talk about it later... Come on, I'll put this one on first. I hope Beren likes it.. No, I'm not saying I want to look good or him.. He's just a man. And a lovely bare chested man at that. I'm sure he'd know what looks good on a woman...

Oh.. you're right... you shouldn't be looking for dresses with me. We must keep our dresses as a surprise for each other! How silly of us!

Okay you go to Mrs Figgs Wedding Dress Emporium and I'll stay here at Silly Ally's Wedding Apparel Shoppe. We'll swap later. Beren can help me first. Yes he can! No, go away. Ask Mrs Figg to help you... Go on. Off you go. {{Women }}}

Dear Mirabella,

First let me say that I would never ridicule your wedding, or anyone else's. When I "laughed out loud" it was with joy at your upcoming nuptials. Secondly, you sound like a lovely person and I would hate to spoil your special day. Finally, thank you for referring to me as a "famous author," worthy even of a stiletto in the eye (I'm assuming you mean a stiletto heel, rather than the traditional Italian knife/wedding gift. Either way.) at what must be a very busy time for you. I'm flattered.

Please accept my apologies. I'll be sure to send you a copy of The Wobbit in German as a belated wedding gift. Or at least a collectable bookmark (in English). I only have 400 left.

Warm Regards,

Paul

Hey I have a few stiletto knives left over from my various marriages, theres a nice emerald encrusted one from uncle Machiavelli, I can use one for my wedding prezzie if you like? I do love emeralds though so maybe I will send the one encrusted with bat bogies.

Oh my! Mrs Figg, you are not unlike Petty in the way you manage to introduce a dark atmosphere into almost everything... But I want my Wedding to be untroubled with darkness. I hope you understand?


Oh... now.. Beren... what do you think?

Beren!

Will you stop admiring yourself --- yes, those bare chested one handed push-ups are very admirable... but what do you think of this dress?

998, 999, 1,000! Phew! That made me sweat a little. What? Your dress? I love the top half, and how it's very form fitting, but the skirt and the train are just a little too loose. Perhaps if it was fitted a little tighter around the hips and then flowed to the ground? Yes, that'd be much better!
Woah there, don't trip and ---- I got you! My, you're very light. I guess this will make it easier for me to carry you everywhere, as I hear is custom for men to do in Needlehole.

My, Beren, you certainly seem to have grown up since your time on the old forum.

He's a new man Eldo {{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Keep up the good work sweety! I've made your favorite vegetable soup with the elvish alphabet noodles you love waiting for you when you're done! Don't have too much fun though.}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

{{{{{{{{Um, I hope that was meant for Beren and not for me, but the brackets came right after my name. Soooooo.... }}}}}}}}

Tanning lotion and... sniff sniff.. peppermint? Oh well, please put me down, Beren.. I'll just pop off into the changeroom...


...I'm coming... don't go away Beren.... Hey, Eldo.... get out....


Here I am, boys. What do you think?

Hey do you all mind I'm having a kilt fittting in here!!
Nice dress Mirabella- quite like the one Pretty wore for her 3rd marriage.

I have been wondering how Pretty is going over at Mrs Figgs shoppe. I thought she was quite upset about Mirtabella soaking up all the publicity -- or at least, that's the current gossip. Do you know if she's trying on dresses (or pantsuits?) or has she gone down the gym to work on her kick boxing like Mirabella suspects she has?

{{{I'm going to be their Master of Ceremonies apparently, Petty old son - which puts me on the spot as far as 'wedding' gossip goes. And I can tell you it's flying. And not the good kind neither - like what they're going to wear in their motel room afer the Wedding Breakfast's over - I'm talking about make-up and dresses and who should and who shouldn't be invited, and what an utter bitch so-and-so is, and how disgusting and perverse Uncle Odo Banks is in spite of his utterly enormous fortune - not that I should be saying that to you, I guess.... }}}

Love the dress Mirabella! Just perfect! Beren must have good taste!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ No Eldo, that wasn't meant for you! And I don't think my plan is working! Petty, what do you want me to do? Please note that the only reason I'm cooperating with you right now is because I'm having fun schemeing, but you're in big trouble Mister! At least, your Paw is!}}}}}}}}}}}}

Oh thank you, Your Majesty! Beren hasn't even looked yet... Though I see he's changed hands doing push ups. Very ripply...

Never mind. I really should try on at least thirty other dresses, shouldn't I - just to make sure of things.

Hang on -- back in a moment...

Tra-laaaaaa!

{{{I dont know what to do your Maj! About the wedding or Paw for that matter. He's not much of a monarchist you see- he um fought the monarchy in Scotland in order to secure equal buckie for all- which is why he is so keen to, liberate, your buckie from your cellars. I had rather hoped mentioning Pretty's previous marriages mught have raised some alarms but Mirabella must know about them already. I do have another plan up my sleeve but best not disclose it yet as its a bit, drastic}}}

Where are you, Beren? Oh dear. He's probably off getting a Protein Shake.. However will I choose a dress with no one to help?

And that peppermint... I wonder where it keeps coming from?

Well its not from me, Mirabella, certainly not, I'm just here, looking at new sporrans.

You are much prettier than Pippa in my opinion. And I am sure upon reflection you surely can be maid of honor. Who better than you anyway?

Oh well... forgot you were there.... nice kilt btw...

Ta-daa!

Actually I can say without a shadow of a doubt Pretty would like that!

Oooh! Do you think so...? How exciting!!!!

I'll try another.. shall I...

Wait there....

... almost ready...

...you better be there Petty...

Well, what do you think? Not sure...





Does it make me look a bit... solid.... do you think?

Sorry Mirabella, I just need to compose myself a little, now let me see....... ...oh Eru no I cant do this with a straight face...
