    I'm putting together a fake Spanish wedding, however I know nothing about Spanish weddings. The UK last year implemented an almost complete blanket ban on taking your kids out of school during term times. Some schools will allow you to do so for extraordinary reasons, such as a wedding, if you can provide a wedding invitation. I know someone who makes such things and is prepared to create whatever I ask for. The back story I have so far for my fake Spanish wedding, and my attendance at it, is as follows. A old mate of mine from university is getting married to a Spanish lady, she wants to get married back in the bosom of her family. So, fill out the story for me, I need a location somewhere around the Costa Del Sol, I need a name for the señorita, what day is the wedding likely to be on, is there any specific information that is likely to be on the invite, are there any particular customs about Spanish weddings, before / during / after, that I could be made aware of, any other detail you want to suggest to pad out my story. Obviously I don't need to go to so much trouble, but if you're going to invent something, might as well flesh it out as much as possible, otherwise I'm going to have to concentrate on work instead.

    Might I at least supply a bride's name? Bonita Picante del Mujeres Calientes Now, in the US that might not go unnoticed, but as most of the UK news presenters don't know how to even pronounce "Jose" correctly, you'll be quite safe. And I'm glad to be of help.

        It's still mostly cheaper to pay the fine should you get one than to fork out for a holiday during the school holidays. I found myself looking at forest holidays recently, looking for a short break with the dog during October half term. The prices for the week after half term were exactly half of those during it.

        Yeah agree. That's why the Scots bit. If you fly from an airport there while their kids are still in School (but ours have broke-up) you get the out of school holiday price.

          Honestly - that it seems your safe search is turned up a tad high. However, I'll try the image search immediately. [edit]: Even with safe-search on the images were quite special. [/edit]

            I thought that for those who paid large sums of money for their children's education breaking up before the main schools was part of the deal.

            Only Biggerer is at public school, the MkII is still in the state sector for another year. Though come next summer we have no elephant idea if we'll even stay in the UK.

              Well no, if the referendum goes the wrong way you'll be slung out back to Hungaria.

                Cameron's already decided we'll be staying in. After the vote representation thingy and the Scottish Referendum he thinks(and knows) that he can influence the outcome of this one too.

                    To be honest (and I ALWAYS AM): I picked the first name because it sounds like (and is a name). None of the words are nasty. I'd not thought to use it for an image search. The Yahoo image search should not be done (at work) with the safety turned off. Not intentional - but the grand scheme of unforeseen consequences is one of life's party favors.

                                Whatever you, do don't mention the part in the ceremony where all the male guests have to redacted a goat after having redacted a chihuahua. It probably would not go down too well with the school's child care unit.

                                  Chihuahuas are Mexican, you buffoon. Why would they be involved in a Spanish wedding ceremony. The school would see straight through ... oh wait ... teachers ... as you were!

So, fill out the story for me, I need a location somewhere around the Costa Del Sol, I need a name for the señorita, what day is the wedding likely to be on, is there any specific information that is likely to be on the invite, are there any particular customs about Spanish weddings, before / during / after, that I could be made aware of, any other detail you want to suggest to pad out my story. Obviously I don't need to go to so much trouble, but if you're going to invent something, might as well flesh it out as much as possible, otherwise I'm going to have to concentrate on work instead.

                                      It's still mostly cheaper to pay the fine should you get one than to fork out for a holiday during the school holidays. I found myself looking at forest holidays recently, looking for a short break with the dog during October half term. The prices for the week after half term were exactly half of those during it.

                                      That is the day after ALL of the leaves fall off of the trees... One week earlier, splendid fall foliage. Cheap week and later, sticks and brown leaves on the ground.

                                        Why not an Irish wedding? That way you can stretch it to two or three weeks! :beer: Okay. How about having it in Zahara de la Sierra[^]? Romantic village up in the mountains where her father has a small farm and vineyard. The family, at least her father's side, have been there for at least 300 years! We'll call her Ana Sofia Tobora Herrera and she is 29, and quite the catch for fat old Dave who you went to college with and played rugby/football/tiddlywinks with for at least ten years.

                                        I'm sick of that. Let's be from Vermont. And let's have an emerging maple syrup conglomerate.

                                          I'm putting together a fake Spanish wedding, however I know nothing about Spanish weddings. The UK last year implemented an almost complete blanket ban on taking your kids out of school during term times. Some schools will allow you to do so for extraordinary reasons, such as a wedding, if you can provide a wedding invitation. I know someone who makes such things and is prepared to create whatever I ask for. The back story I have so far for my fake Spanish wedding, and my attendance at it, is as follows. A old mate of mine from university is getting married to a Spanish lady, she wants to get married back in the bosom of her family. So, fill out the story for me, I need a location somewhere around the Costa Del Sol, I need a name for the señorita, what day is the wedding likely to be on, is there any specific information that is likely to be on the invite, are there any particular customs about Spanish weddings, before / during / after, that I could be made aware of, any other detail you want to suggest to pad out my story. Obviously I don't need to go to so much trouble, but if you're going to invent something, might as well flesh it out as much as possible, otherwise I'm going to have to concentrate on work instead.

                                          Much simpler if you call the school and tell them that the household has a vomiting bug. They want nothing to do with you until you have had 24 hours without being sick and the virus that causes this can easily last a week. The added bonus is no one wants to hear all the details on how you felt when you were throwing up.
