Meghan's father and photographer in photo scam

You didn’t upset me gilly, too fond of you for that to happen ?

I don't understand the C of E rules about divorced people remarrying. Princess Anne had her second wedding in the Church of Scotland. Prince Charles and Camilla were actually married in a registry office, then went to St Georges Chapel for a blessing. Are Harry and Maghan doing the same since she's been married before?

If a bride is normally given away by her father and Meghan's Dad can't come. then surely the obvious person to have given Meghan away would be her first husband?

Don't go, gilly. You're the only republican I can 'ave a larf with'

I don't know many, you see.

Church of Scotland isn’t the C of E, marriage of divorced people has been accepted in the Anglican Church for quite some years, at the discretion of the priest. Charles and Camilla had both been in affairs whilst married so a church wedding would have been considered unacceptable.

Surely the idea that a woman has to be "given away" by a man is archaic - she is not anyone's property.

From what I have heard on the radio (not really paying too much attention), she will walk in with just the bridesmaids and page boys and Prince Charles will meet her halfway and then escort her to the alter.

But I am interested in the RF - as I am in many of our institutions that cause harm to the values w should hold dear

Maybe MM wasn't married in church the first time? That might make a difference.

Oldwoman70, I don’t think women are “given away” any more. I had a glance at the Church of England guide to marriage in church and it is not mentioned at all. Thank goodness.

Official announcment,
Charles will walk her down the aisle.

Just an aside, H and I met DD's in-laws once before the wedding and once since
MiL choice.

I didn’t meet my in-laws until well after I was married. They lived on the other side of the world. I met my son’s in-laws once before the wedding and only at the occasional birthday or Christmas since. Again, because of distance, though not so far.

The count down begins! I have booked my place on the sofa. My husband asked if I would like to go as we live not too far from Windsor, but I am sure we would see very little, as the crowds will be forming from very early on.

I love varian's suggestion that Meghan's ex husband should give her away, but given the level of bad feeling on his part about how she ended it, maybe not!

Charles has stepped up so at least it will be traditional in that respect.

Great that Prince Philip has recovered enough to be there.
Don't we all hope that we will be as fit, mentally and physically as he and the Queen are, if we live to our mid 90s?

We lived in the same town as DD's ex inlaws at the time
