FlooterFest

6 September 2025

WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

Hopefully this site gives you all the info you need to come and celebrate with us in Somerset, but if you have any questions just get in touch.

Please RSVP using this form to let us know if you can make it.

What is FlooterFest?

A wedding, a party, a festival

Just in case you are still wondering what this is all about, we'd like to introduce FlooterFest. We are not following all the traditions - just picking the bits we like (speeches, games - YES! sit down meal, formality or early bedtimes - NO!), so we hope this event will be...

A festival-style celebration of the unity of the Flint and Shooter families through marriage!
A back-garden blow out that will be the talk of South Petherton for years to come
Like all the best festivals, an opportunity to enjoy a wide range of music in excellent settings:
- stomp about to nu metal in rustic barns full of bits of old metal
- bop to big dirty stinking bass next to a big dirty stinking compost heap
- hear sick beats in close proximity to healthy beets
- wobble about and rave in a cave (/small barn)
- jump about to jungle in a spinney
- listen to a live band attempt to play our choice of first dance
A way better (though at least adjacent) idea compared to 16-year-olds Claire’s assertion that she "would only get married at Reading Festival"
An opportunity for Andi to buy More Beer and Cheese Than Ever Previously Conceived

This special day, chosen as Statistically Least Probable to Rain, will be a coming together of all the people we like to eat pizza, sip cold drinks, listen to music and dance with us as we go on unreservedly about how much we love each other and stuff.

Photography

We are not having an official photographer... so please take lots of pictures on the day and share them with us afterwards!

Also, if you could capture some short videos (in landscape format) through the day, we'd really appreciate it.

What to wear

In simple terms.... whatever you want!

It's going to be mostly outside (under cover if the weather gets too British), and on grass - so dress accordingly and maybe have something warm for the evening.

Oh, and the more colour, the better!

In case examples help...
- Shorts/trousers and a nice shirt
- Nice trainers
- Festival best
- A really great dress

Be a part of it

You're going to tick this box just by being there (and there is a good chance you'll be given a job to do at some point!), but we'd love to see people get extra involved on the day...
- small stand up routine?
- speech/reading?
- play your instrument?

We are also very welcoming of any special skills that could help or things we can borrow for the day etc!

Tell us what you'll do on this form!

No gifts please

We have more than enough stuff, and are asking you to travel down to Somerset - however, we'd really appreciate it if you are willing to make a small contribution to the food and drink for the day - check out the Food page for info and to let us know (will be updated nearer the time)!
