Royal wedding obsession!

"a divorced woman should not wear white and a veil."

Says who?

maples comments were maybe ill advised and insensitive. To be fair Annie, this is a means by which we chuck out our thought s and feelings and some times we dont like what comes back.

Thank you for having the grace to apologise MapleLeaf, I regret I cannot find the grace to forgive you. You have destroyed my trust. Please don’t ever do it to anyone else who may cry out for help and support, some good can come from this

my thoughts were...Amal looked amazing, Oprah should rethink the weight watcher endorsement thing, George is like Diana, Camilla needs to hoik that bust up a bit.

ha ha trisher. nobody wants an arse at their wedding.

I’m sorry, Annie.

Why does a beautiful woman getting married cause some of you to be so nasty and judgemental.
You do not have to watch it, do something else, or the other option was to watch the other channels on your tv.
I am not saying whether I am a republican or a monachist supporter. All I saw was a lovely bride and groom enjoying their day. A lovely sunny day at that.

Apologies should read

I have a feeling that
Nobody puts Baby Megan in the corner

She stage managed it very well didn't she. No adult bridesmaids for her. She wasn't going to have the papers filled with photos of someone else's arse.
A professional through and through it was her day.

I think I said how lovely she looked and I do realise very few brides are virgins these day if any.
I was referring to the fact that she had been previously married and was divorced.
This used to be a barrier to marrying in church.
I am pleased this is no longer the case for the innocent party but marrying in white with a veil is still a step too far for me, but then I am an ancient 80 year old with old fashioned ideas.

see what i did there?

I wasn't expecting to watch the event as it was arranged a long time ago that my teenage Goddaughters would be spending the day with me. As it happens they wanted to watch it before we went to lunch and so we found ourselves joining the millions of others who turned on the TV and spent an hour as vicarious wedding guests.
I surprised myself by really enjoying the whole spectacle and most especially the address by Bishop Michael Curry. He preached on the same passage as I had at my wedding and my minister was also American, so it had real resonance for me - and at only fourteen minutes was half the length of our sermon too!

I thought Prince Charles came out of it rather well. He took good care of Meghan and of her mother too. It was touching.

i think bea and eug had been instructed to reign it in a bit.

i think the whole veil, virginity white thing has had its day. It doesnt appeal to me in a lady who has been married. I also find it a bit odd when people do the whole white wedding thing and have their kids as bridesmaids/pageboys.

Maple leaf, how dare you use happenings in my private life to criticise me for posting my opinions on a wedding, how low can anyone sink? very,very low to match you. What a spiteful remark, shame on you, a vile , cheap remark

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought Princess Anne was wearing a dressing gown ( or old fashioned smoking jacket) she has no dress sense or poor advisers ?

What colour dress would you have liked to have seen her in, annesixty. I think she actually looked very serene. Not sure it was pure white, probably a pale cream or off white? She looked lovely, I think. I wonder how many brides are virgins these days anyway? Some will be but not all.

Annie, I know you’ve gone through a lot lately, which is very sad for you, but will you lease stop this nit picking.

I too loved the orange dress. Those 4 women are actresses from 'Suits'
And again, my first thought on princess Ann's outfit was that she was wearing a dressing gown

I have no objections to people who have been married before wearing white.

I don’t think being a traditionalist is ‘so old world’ , but I wouldn’t would I ? ?

So old world though to think a divorced woman can’t wear whatever colour dress she wants How many first time brides wearing white are virgins ??? not too many methinks

otherwise I totally agree with your post Annsixty

Not surprised to hear that the Queen didn't crack a smile - must have been distracted by the sound of her mother, Wallis Simpson and Princess Margaret spinning in their graves!
