| A BRIDEGROOM-TO-BE who e-mailed a Yorkshire
Dialect expert from Kosovo while searching for wedding help got the
surprise of his life - when he found the expert lives just two miles
from his North Yorkshire home. The soon-to-be married couple were
also shocked to learn that the expert - who they hoped could give
them a Yorkshire Dialect wedding blessing - is an old friend of the
groom's dad. He is Barry Rawling who runs a Yorkshire Dialect site
from his home close to |
|
Easingwold. The bridegroom-to-be, serving
soldier Guy Moverley, is from nearby Crayke. He is due to return from
a tour of duty in Kosovo in April. Guy's fiancče, physiotherapist
Olly Hughes, said she "couldn't believe it" when she saw where Barry
lives. "We both thought it was brilliant. Guy sent the e-mail from
Kosovo hoping to get something back, but not from an old mate of his
Dad's. Guy is very proud of his Yorkshire roots so wanted something
at the wedding that could stress those roots," said Olly, who |
|
is originally from Surrey. Barry said:
"It is really amazing. Guy's dad and I are old friends and it was
great to be asked to help out with his wedding. I've not yet been
able to find a suitable wedding text, so if anyone knows one, please
get in touch. A blessing is preferable, and while it doesn't have
to be in dialect, it must have a strong Yorkshire flavour." |
