Eugenie's Dress [Title edited by GNHQ]

Did she do the odd choice of reading from Great Gatsby? I was confused by the choice as Gatsby's life was a terrible sham and one of desperate brash social climbing. He was a good looking character..but with poor morals and who met an untimely death. Why choose that to describe your groom?

I think it was just that one passage PECS ?

Photos to remember!!

Annie I hope she just looked it up on a "wedding readings" website and actually has not read the whole book!

PECS, it was reported she had read the book !

Oh dear! I really like the book, Fitzgerald was a good writer but not sure Gatsby would be my hero..no matter how lovely his smile was!

To add to the question of Beatrice's role ,what did the S of Edward and Sophie do in his role as "Special Attendant"?
His sister did seem to look after the young children.

Much the same as a regular attendant I would imagine annsixty except for the fact that he was "special"

Perhaps he was with them when they left the Quire before the service

Maybe he was,asking the guests, " Bride or Groom? " & directing them to the right side of the aisle

What a pity the thread title has been edited. Given today's announcement I think the old one was more appropriate.

Me too Merlot, I am afraid that will be my name for her now.

Jalima, funnily enough, we didn't receive any copies!

what a pity!

merlot

sorry, the what a pity was to SueDonim!

I’ve recently directed a poster to this thread. With the name change I hope she finds it.?

Acording to mumsnet ,the dress cost £250,000 thats TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND pound!!!How could it not be lovely at that price?

Well, someone's made a nice profit!!

Apparently, Pippa's gorn into the Lindo wing.

Can't keep up with all this.

Is it a boom year?

Will they be called Baby Boomers?

That is what makes me cross.. she woul have looked lovely in £2k dress( still a lot of money I know!) but £250k ..even if you earned every penny yourself... it could have done some real good.. dream on PECS dream on!

It’s an obscene amount of money to spend on a dress . But this is the rf so clearly no thought for what that kind of money means to an ordinary working person . They’re all the same.

I really don’t understand this critcism of what people spend.

Perhaps she'll auction it off for charity.

Although I must say I still have mine (cost 33 guineas I think).
did I really spend that much?! about £630 in today's money!

Should anyone with two cars think about me who can’t afford one car ? Anyone taking two holidays a year think about those who can’t afford one?
