Heard an interesting story today...
There's a nice Wedding Venue at a place called Le-Talbooth in Dedham on the Essex/Suffolk border, which is the village where Frank Lampard Snr lives.
Anyway,
a friend of a friend had been invited to a wedding on a certain date next year. However, soon after responding to the invite they got a response saying the wedding date was now uncertain.
Le-Talbooth had contacted the couple in question- and they requested that the couple moved the date of their wedding if the venue paid the drinks bill. They declined saying the date was special and decided. Le-Talbooth then came back and said, please move it, we'll pay the drinks and catering. The couple again declined...
Finally..... Le-Talbooth came back to the couple and asked what was left on their mortgage!!! 
The couple told them etc, so Le-Talbooth are paying for this couple's wedding on another date, including catering and drinks, and as a gift of thanks they are paying off their mortgage!
Turn's out the original date they wanted is the date Frank Lampard & Christine Bleakley want!!!
Obviously with the money and bills paid for etc comes a 'privacy' agreement so the couple cant sell their story.
Interesting none-the-less! And the couple are very lucky!!

I'd have asked for something else... but it would be classed as an indecent proposal

Haven't seen that before. Doesn't mention this place though... Which is slightly less amazing than some of those castles etc.
Its definately happened though so its not a 'claim'

I heard the exact story but it was David beckham who wanted to hire a venue for his kids party that was already booked up. Apparently he payed for them to change the date honeymoon etc. this was a couple of years ago. I call urban legend.

Heard an interesting story months ago...
There's a nice 5* Hotel near me called Pennyhill Park at a place called Bagshot on the Hampshire/Surrey border.
Anyway,
a friend of a friend had been invited to a wedding on a certain date next year. However, soon after responding to the invite they got a response saying the wedding date was now uncertain.
Penny Hill Park had contacted the couple in question- and they requested that the couple moved the date of their wedding if the venue paid the drinks bill. They declined saying the date was special and decided. Penny Hill Park then came back and said, please move it, we'll pay the drinks and catering. The couple again declined...
Finally..... Penny Hill Park came back to the couple and asked what was left on their mortgage!!! 
The couple told them etc, so Penny Hill Park are paying for this couple's wedding on another date, including catering and drinks, and as a gift of thanks they are paying off their mortgage!
Turn's out the original date they wanted is the date Frank Lampard & Christine Bleakley want!!!

Funnily enough I've heard the same (see above)
Never heard so much bullshit in my life and this stories been going around for years with various other celebrities.

I'm struggling to remember who told me this but it was one of them where they said they knew the person it happened to.

The person who was telling me today said the figure of the mortgage etc. Sounded pretty realistic, and the fact Frank Lampard Senior lives in that village made it sound true enough...
Should stop hanging around with weirdos.... This is what happens when I have a day off

I heard something similar, involving a hotel room, Elton John, George Michael, and Graham Norton.
Not sure what would have been going on though.

I reckon he has a watch with a calculator in it, or a TV remote
