There's no getting away from it - they've just been banging on about it on Classic FM, which I'm listening to in the dining room - just went into kitchen for another coffee - Dh in there listening to Radio 4 - and they were on about it, too.

I do wish them happy and I hope the sun shines for them on Saturday, but....
Oh, and tins of Royal Wedding biscuits in M&S!!

WELL "Annie" she is a woman who obviously likes to bend the rules to suit herself.....the changing of her religion to marry him really peed me off...she could have kept the one she had and made the RF more inclusive that way..but no every royal must tread the same path and alienate all other religious views in the UK .Its very old fashioned for a bride to take her grooms religion,hardly a modern woman as she's claiming to be

paddyann, at least you haven’t got the prince of Scotland

Anniebach Sat 19-May-18 11:36:20

The bride in virginal white plus veil ! Wonder if she is wearing the Spencer tiara

paddyann Sat 19-May-18 11:35:30

I'm NOT watching but I have had an e-mail from a friend telling me Harry has been made Earl of Dumbarton...I hope its a windup..but if its not I can tell you someone doesn't like him or hasn't done their homework.Dumbarton is one of the most deprived areas in the west of Scotland ,think massive drug and unemployment figures,large numbers of single parents ,more council tax arrears than Glasgow ...see what I mea..just what we need ..an EARL !!

Princess Anne is wearing a dressing gown. grin

merlotgran Sat 19-May-18 11:24:33

Ha Ha! No dodgy hats from Beatrice and Eugenie this year.

Shame.

Ooh the car is at Cliveden!

merlotgran Sat 19-May-18 10:52:23

I love the orange dress and black hat that the actress from Suits is wearing.

Who ARE these people? grin

Anniebach Sat 19-May-18 10:50:22

Aw no smile from Victoria ? And I missed George Clooney, be glad when the Windsors arrive bringing dignity to the circus . My younger daughter wasn’t going to watch, when she heard there were ten little attendants ,one being Charlotte, she decided to watch hoping charlotte will wave as she walks down the aisle ?

DanniRae Sat 19-May-18 10:47:34

My daughter just text me - she's watching at work - to say isn't Victoria Beckham a miserable c*w!

Grandma70s Sat 19-May-18 10:46:21

I’m hopeless with celebrities. If that was George Clooney I wasn’t impressed. At least I’ve heard of him.

merlotgran Sat 19-May-18 10:42:19

Mind you, I was too busy looking at George Clooney to care. grin

merlotgran Sat 19-May-18 10:41:05

Nope, Annie. Not even a crack. hmm

Anniebach Sat 19-May-18 10:04:12

His two ex girl friends arrived together ?. Big question is -will Victoria Beckham smile

DanniRae Sat 19-May-18 09:54:01

Did any of you Royal Wedding watchers (RWW) see that purple hat that Earl Spencer's wife was wearing? I think she looked amazing!

annodomini Sat 19-May-18 09:40:31

I'm hoping that the shops will be quiet this morning...

Anniebach Sat 19-May-18 09:15:27

I like watching weddings, think I will watch with the sound off until the marriage service. I have no wish to hear one more in the crowd say ‘I love Harry’. ‘I am here because I loved Diana’ .

Oldwoman70 Sat 19-May-18 09:14:52

I won't be watching but I wish them well and hope all GNs settling down with the bubbly on ice enjoy it

silverdarlings Sat 19-May-18 09:06:17

oops=world ha ha ++

silverdarlings Sat 19-May-18 09:04:45

I'm watching too some happiness in this angry-angry wold++

Maggiemaybe Sat 19-May-18 09:04:10

Well I've cooled the prosecco, prepped the sandwiches (cucumber, smoked salmon and all), iced the elderflower and lemon cake, got out the china and embroidered tablecloth. The roses and stocks bouquet smells gorgeous, lilac to come in at the last minute for the table decoration. DBF arriving at 10 and we're looking forward to a lovely morning. Cheers to all who are watching one or all of the main events. And also of course to those of you busy elsewhere or ostentatiously avoiding the wedding - enjoy your day! wine

Grandma70s Sat 19-May-18 08:57:11

I’m quite enjoying watching all the crazy people in Windsor.

Is she the most unlikely Duchess ever?

MawBroon Sat 19-May-18 08:25:01

Somehow this is all passing me by as I won’t be in to watch it anyway. DGSs will be IFlying (indoor skydiving) at Milton Keynes instead, a Christmas present from us.
However, I had guessed Sussex as the title the Queen was going to give them!

merlotgran Sat 19-May-18 08:13:49

I have the telly on as well, DanniRae. Have had a very anxious two weeks with a poorly DH who is now home from hospital, the sun is shining, I'm on my second mug of tea and he has promised not to do the moany man thing about the RW grin

The only downer is we're an alcohol free house at the moment because he's on IV antibiotics so I will have to toast the bride and groom with orange juice and SL tonic and pretend it's Buck's Fizz.

Bring it on! grin

DanniRae Sat 19-May-18 07:41:39

Er "Gransnet friends" - I hope there is more than one of you?
