Shopping Trolley Dash for Wedding
Following an accident at Marks and Spencer, the parents of bride-to-be Valerie were madly rushing around ASDA at midnight, the night before the wedding, to try and buy as much food as possible for their daughter’s wedding day.
Valerie’s dad and step-mum, William and Margaret Hill, had originally organised the food with their local Marks and Spencer, paying them almost £150 to cater the buffet. At 8pm the night before the family received a call from M&S but William was not around and M&S said they would call back. They did not, so at 10pm the family called M&S who explained that there had been a fire at the suppliers and therefore M&S were unable to provide them with the complete order but that the family could go to their local shop the next morning for their shopping instead.
Everyone was understandably anxious and upset and after the mad shopping dash, friends and family were pulled in to help with the preparation through the night and even neighbours gave up some fridge space. After all their hard work, M&S called the next day to let them know that in fact they were able to supply the food after all. William, forty seven from Newcraighall was speechless and his wife, fifty two year old Margaret declined their offer.
M&S commented that after the fire they had contacted William and Margaret to give them the bad news but that they had then worked through the night to try and source the food from elsewhere. M&S did offer Mr & Mrs Hill a complete refund.
Bus drivers Valerie and Stewart Denholm were married in Musselburgh, East Lothian.

I went to a wedding the other weekend and someone had ordered their wedding cake from M&S – and 2 days before found out the order had been forgotten! So they got an off the shelf one from M&S – which was still nice but really not what you need – being told the order for your wedding cake had been forgotten!!
