We're very happy for you!
We're not likely to be in any of those places, but should coincidence strike, we'd be happy to see you again. Southampton might be the most probable.
Congratulations again!

First, the announcement: We're finally getting married! The date is set for Saturday, August 6th.
Second, we're planning on honeymooning with a cruise around the British Isles. We're scheduled to arrive at Heathrow in the afternoon of August 13, and we're feeling out possibilities for low-priced accommodations until the cruise departs on the 16th. We'll also need something for the night of the 28th, preferably in easy distance of Heathrow, since our return flight leaves at around nine in the morning on the 29th. So, if you know of anything decent in the area, or if you ARE in the area and feel like being really awesome, please let us know.
As for the cruise itself, it departs August 16 from Southampton and stops in Guernsey (St. Peter Port), England, Cobh, Ireland, Dublin, Ireland, Liverpool, England, Belfast, N. Ireland, Glasgow (Greenock), Scotland (overnight), Inverness/Loch Ness (Invergordon), Scotland, Edinburgh (South Queensferry), Scotland, Paris/Normandy (Le Havre), France, and returns to Southampton on the 28th. (All the locations are copied directly from the cruise website, so if any of the parenthetical notes are weird, it's not our fault.) If you'll be in any of those places in that time and want to meet up, we might be able to arrange that, too. Just drop us a line. {= )

As per friggin' usual, I suppose. Mazeltov nevertheless, y'all!

Considering we'll be there twice, I like the odds. We'll hope for the best and see what happens. {= )

Unfortunetly, I can't be there, being "across the pond" and all, but best wishes to the both of you anyway!
I don't live in Britain (I'm Canadian, eh?), but congratulations all the same! Hope you have a great wedding!
Most excellent to hear - hope the special day is indeed special (and as low stress as can be in the leadup) and that you enjoy the cruise.
Best wishes for the day and for your life together,
Elcalion
Hope you guys have a happy marriage, and I hope that you enjoy your trip! Really, tell everybody about your time on the cruise once you all come back!
I'm not in any of those areas, so I won't be able to see you two. That, and I'm still in high school. So yeah...
Can't help you, I'm afraid, but Scotland is gorgeous - Inverness in particular - and I'm sure you'll love it. Congratsi again, and may you be very, very happy! :D
Wow! Congrats!
May you both have a wonderful life together! *applauds*
I hope you have a great ceremony and cruise, and a wonderful life together!
My very best wishes to you both!
Also, I don't live in any of those place, but the nearest one to me is Liverpool. I'm sure I can arrange a trip there for the day if you tell me what date you'll be there. It would be awesome. =D
I think that's the 20th. We'll make sure and be in touch closer to the actual time. I hope it'll work out. {= D
~Neshomeh
I should be okay any day you end up arriving. And it's my birthday around that time, too - 23rd August. So extra yay. :D
We can do something involving cake. ^_^

Congratulations, and thrice congratulations!
Yeah, those parenthetical notes are a tad strange. I live in the north of England, but I've been to London a few times. It depends on how near you want to be to Heathrow, as there's quite a few places to stay in the area. When I stayed to be within easy access of the airport (I needed to catch an early flight to Greece), I stayed at the Renaissance Hotel, which you can find here:

It's got pretty good access to everything remotely interesting, as well as Heathrow, and it's also pretty cheap even though it's got four stars. I've also heard good things about the Sheraton Skyline, but I've not stayed there:

I hope this helps!
Where in the north of England? I'm up in the general north-west Lancashire area. *bounces and squees at having another PPCer somewhere nearby-ish*
I'm in the suburbs of Hull. The nice part, before you get into a city and start to think that a bomb's gone off. Or zombies have invaded. Or both.
I've been to Hull for PPC Gatherings before. And all this time you've been there unknown.
Awesome. XD
I'm in Preston, btw.
I'm happy for you guy, that trip sounds really nice! I wish you two many, many happy years together.
I hope your lives together are wonderful.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds<br> Admit impediments.

That is just cool. I hope you have a happy matrimony, I really hope so.
Congratulations!
(For the ones who wonders why I am throwing rice, this is the tradition in Italy. Actually, we do that AFTER the ceremony, but it doesn't matter.)
I'm not sure about other countries. The only Canadian wedding I've been to didn't, but it was supposed to be a plain sort of wedding.
I wouldn't be surprised if the idea came from Italy, though.
...I forgot the congratulations! Yay for Neshomeh and Phobos! *blows noisemaker*
Don't know if I'll be able to meet you at any of those times, as I had to get my January exams delayed due to health problems and they're now in August, and my family holiday takes up another week of that month. But I'll try.
Congratulations to the pair of you. May your lives be filled with joy and many years of pleasure.
As for English knowledge. You can access Heathrow from the Picadilly line on the London tube system, so chances are you would be able to find a cheapish hotel in the South East of London, say Hammersmith or Ealing somewhere in that area and then just tube straight to the airport. Hotels in that area are far enough away from the center that they shouldn't be too horribly priced.
Have fun on the cruise!
Wait, that's the wrong one.
Anyways have fun and everything!
That is awesome. I wish you two the best, and have fun on your cruise!
I wish the two of you the best!
I wish you both luck and happiness! *throws rose petals*
Funny. You're getting married exactly two weeks before I become a legal adult.
May you enjoy many happy years together!
*hugs* Awesome! In the most literal sense! And all the happiness to both of you!
Good luck with everything!
Here goes my wishes of a long life of happiness and love.
