Bride advertises for wedding guests

The BBC News website is running a story today about a Ukranian bride to be who is advertising for wedding guests to make up her side of the wedding party at her forthcoming wedding.  My first thought is “how very brave and crazy” yet here she is in the UK with only her parents here to witness her big day, so in fact it’s very sadfor her to not be surrounded by her family and friends.  Apparently she has advertised for ‘decent’ guests on the Gumtree website and volunteers must send a photo and a letter, that’s a bit of a gamble really since friends and family you have known for years can turn into complete opposites of themselves after a couple of glasses of champagne!  She also needs bridesmaids, groomsmen and ushers, this could be a great opportunity for those of you who are not sure if your chosen attendents are quite up to the job yet, get them to go along and practice!
