Can't believe it :(

OMG ! I am so incredibly sorry !!! I don't know what to say that is unbelievably awful !

How did you pay was any on cards ? They could be insured maybe ? Get some advice quickley just to be sure xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That's awful, i'm so sorry to hear this! When were you due to get married? Couldn't you get married in the registry office instead if the registrar is already booked?? There might be a function hall that you can get for free or for a small fee due to guests buying there alcohol? I know this probably isn't what you want to hear but things happen for a reason x

So so sorry, big hugs.

Did you pay by credit card? Is there some protection this way?

What venue is it?

Oh my goodness, how awful!! I'm so sorry :-( Don't panic just yet. Contact the registrar and see what can be done about having the ceremony elsewhere, then ring round some venues for the reception and tell them what's happened, see if you can get some help on a sympathetic basis. Definitely check with your card companies and banks to see if you're covered at all there too.

Big big big hugs. And I'm sure if there's anything we hitchers can do to help, we will. xxxxx

Wait..! Is this an april fools!

omg yeah it must be!!! haha i belived it for a second and even started looking for weddin insurance

Rumbled!!!! APRIL FOOOOOOL!! Juvenile I know but my dad was the master of April fools and this is the first year he won't get me so I'll get everyone else for him! Lol! Sorry to all you lovely lovely people who are always so nice! Love you all much xx lol

I was just abOut to respond with some sympathetic words

Although this could easily happen so would advise those that don't have insurance to look at getting a quote

Hehe! My OH played an april fool on me this morning, he'd been on nights and finished at 6. When he got home he was stomping about and dived into bed, then told me he'd been suspended from work! You should have seem my face i forgot it was april fools lol x

OMG!! Good one, you had me for a second then too. Well the moral of the story is get your insurance girlies before you start handing over money as this could really happen!

I have to say as soon as I read this I soooo knew it was April fools, suckers lol!

?

Just booked insurance lol that was mean lol xxx

LOL- Mean i know but actually when i wrote it i thought oooooh what if that did happen... and promptly booked wedding insurance

This has actually happened in our area very recently with one of the venues we were originally looking at, and one of my colleagues has been affected.

Luckily, she has got insurance and had 13/14 weeks to find somewhere else, but one poor couple were due to get married the day after the liquidation was announced.

The guy that owns the place really needs a good slapping as he was sailing far too close to the wind to start with and operating without some of the necessary licenses (from what the local press are saying). The venue didn't even ring my colleague to tell her there were problems.....let alone to tell her that they were going bump. She had to hear it from her registrar.?

OH NO! I am so sorry. Which venue is it? Not Caverswall Castle is it (I ask as my SIL was having her wedding there and they have recently gone into liquidation).

Did you pay for anything on credit card? If so you can prob get your money back.

Failing that, contact your local paper. They will prob run a story on you and maybe some local business will help you out (a venue may help you at a reduced cost).

If it was a package, you may still be able to use the caterer and other suppliers?

I am sorry for you hon (hugs)

just seen this ☹️.

This is mean. This really happened to some couples I know.

Bingo!!!!!!

She's got it all sorted now and has found a much nicer place somewhere a few miles away.

We never booked here in the end (luckily!) as another of our friends was also looking at it and I was having a bridezilla moment about being unoriginal and getting married at the same place as everyone else!!! Who was it that said being a bridezilla was a bad thing?!?

Ooooops! Took me a while to type my reply, so only just realised.....

.....you weren't talking to me!!?

?

No, wish I was though as I would not have been had ?. Could have been though! Where did she book? My SIL went for Bishton Hall.

Hang on, I do hope we are not talking about the same bride. That would be embarrassing. I would hate for my SIL to know I have been talking about her behind her back.

Nah, don't worry, you're safe!?

My colleague settled on somewhere in Shropshire....almost in Wales!!!!

Ha that was a bloody good april fools that

Yup great to start my day feeling so sorry for you and wracking my brains to think of solutions. Hilarious !

Crap.. almost fell for it..

I never suspected! I started getting my banking head on and write advice on how credit cards get you cover for any purchses etc.. LOL. but at least i have the excuse i was reading this on 2nd April so I didn't think of April's fool!

It was a joke, in poor taste? I don't think so,

if it made people think about getting insurance then that can't be bad! Take it in the spirit in which it was meant! I did thank everyone for being lovely to me and sorry for anyone it offended, it was not my intention, but to clarify, whilst I didn't want to upset anyone, I don't apologise for doing an April's fool joke.
