aww how nice :)

I had to post as finding it hard to believe Smiley smile

I cant believe how genuinly nice some people are!! basically my grandad used to collect old vintage cars yyyeeeaarrss ago and would do them up. he had about 8 but after years of having them sitting in garage not being used he sold them (but kept 1) including my favourite Smiley sad i remember driving down the back of his house where his garage was and my fav car was being loaded onto the back of his mates pick up! i felt like crying as i always imagined having it for my wedding as it was used for all the familys weddings! I didnt talk to him for a week lol bless him! well anyway his friend who lives in cumbria (who has met me once for literally 10 mins max) has always said we could have it back for the wedding. I didnt hold him to it as i thought he was just being polite. Grandad told him we were engaged and his mate has kept the car on the road so we can use it and has said he will bring it down from cumbria for us and will NOT accept payment!! he has also resprayed it so it looks fresh but has found out the poor lil thing needs a new engine! i contacted him to say not to worry about us using the car as understandably its not fair which he wasnt having any of and said how our wedding has giving him the perfect excuse to do it all and will not in any way accept any payment for petrol or laybour/work....hes just glad to do it! it bought a tear to my eye as i cannot believe he would do this whilst basically not knowing us! ive now decided im going to do a speach at the wedding just so every1 realise how much of a nice guy he is!! (which im s**ting myself about)

He is also coming down to get grandads car to take back to cumbria with him to get that car up and running for the bridesmaids to get there which is going to be a LOT of work!! and also told grandad to drive his car for me and my dad and he will drive the bridesmaids which i was hoping but didnt want to be rude!

so happy and wanted to share.....sorry if have bored you all lol xxx

    Its very hard to find someone who is genuinely nice and decent these days. He sounds like a diamond, what a lovely gesture ?
