    Default What an offer.............

    A friend of mine is getting married next year (March) at Alton Towers. She has been planning it for years
    Anyway I was at her house when the manager phoned her and asked if there was any chance of her changing the date she nearly passed out.
    The manager said could she possibly change it to another day obviously she said "NO" so the manager said i'll phone you back?
    I said why do they want you to change the date but she forgot to ask!!!
    Here's the best bit, ready for this???????????????????


    The phone rang, she said "here we go" guess who was on the other end of the phone???????????
    READY.......................... Victoria Beckham (NO JOKE)

    It's Brooklyn's birthday and they want to hire Alton Towers for his birthday on the same day!!!
    Heres the offer....... the Beckham's will pay for my friends wedding and honeymoon to anywhere in the world, if she changes the day

    Guess what....... she changed the date and VB's contact is phoning her back with details next week

    tbh i wudnt change the date even if it was the queen.. i think vb has got a cheek asking her to change the date of one of the most important days of her life when vb's son will have lots of other birthdays to come. most people only get married once. just proves she thinks her money can buy her anything....

    I've heard of this happening before, exactly the same details but maybe a different child's birthday. If you can afford to do it, great.

    Sorry but i cant stand the women so i would of said NO, its my wedding and i booked it first. who the hell does she think she is, people like that make me sick just because they have money they think they can buy anything and anyone. I would of told her to arrange her sons birthday for another day.

    As your friend has said yes I hope she has a big wedding and chooses a really expensive honeymoon destination
