THAT wedding!

The so called second hand bit of stuff...American actress...does have a name, live and let live people

Some people do make me laugh. If the dress had been from Debemhams and the reception had been held in a local restaurant people would have been saying "With their money you would have thought they could have done better than that".

Of course people who earn money through hard work are entitled to use it as they wish. I have no idea what Mr & Mrs M are like but the wedding did not strike me as a 'down to earth' sort of affair, more 'out of this world'

Aslemma I thought I had posted something similar to that too, but can't find - it about the Middletons being just like anyone else but Carole starting a business from her kitchen table - would that we all had had such a good idea!!

I probably posted it on a politics thread by mistake

People who have the money are perfectly entitled to have whatever type of wedding they like. It is those who can't afford it but still insist on a big showy wedding that I take exception to. I thought Pippa looked beautiful, as did most of the main party, and if she and her new husband can be as happy and down to earth as her parents their future looks bright.

Now, first to get thin (well, a bit thinner)
Then off to buy a lottery ticket!

I realised that once I'd woken up, Jalima. I think Dolly's had just had the one long and happy marriage too, bless her (I'm a big fan).

absent Oops!!
but they do seem to be following her advice .....

Maggiemaybe it was my last quote of the post which could thought inappropriate regarding a Royal and nearly Royals .

...things to do...

No, Pen I haven't. If you knew more you wouldn't say that. Let's not escalate this, as I was just stating a fact.

Those who don't understand, fair enough. Some of us have a long history and a long memory to go with it.

Anyway I've better this to do, as I've a VIP staying

As you were.........

Sorry, Anya, I don't understand. I'm just taking SAAK's comments at face value and don't find them helpful. If there is "history" why does it have to carry on into current threads?

It isn't the only wooden spoon around, Penstemmon.

Anya I think you have your wooden spoon out, which is not very kind. #Doasyouwouldbedoneby

Caro 'as you sow so shall you reap'

Sorry Anya, I don't agree. SAAK's nastiness seemed to be a personal attack on andother person. Absolutely unnecessary and spoilt the whole thread which started out as a lighthearted "piss take/parody". Thanks for trying anyway Maw!

Wow !

I took this thread at face value - who doesn't love to critique a wedding and even better a celeb wedding?

I thought it would be light-hearted, fashion focussed fun.

How wrong could I be ?

I think one posters comments go far and beyond 'outspoken'. Unnecessarily so.

Oh I don't know. At least SAAK is upfront with her nastiness rather than some who are totally false and underhand and craving sympathy.

Not saying I approve of either, so keep out of it (usually) these days.

Is SAAK a reincarnation of a previous GN member?
We have had some "outspoken" members but not so nasty.

kittylester, agree with you 100%. Although I hadn't contributed to this thread until now obviously , I'd read it and thought what a nice, light hearted change it made from the doom, gloom and sniping of the political threads. Such a shame that one person had to stagger on to it and spoil it.

My goodness, but there has been a lot of vitriol, sniping and jealousy rearing their ugly heads in this thread. Yes, they are wealthy, so what? Yes, there were some guests who probably should have consulted a mirror before venturing out, but that's our opinion and not theirs. It is not just "posh" weddings where you see all kinds of attire, either, or children investigating their nostrils.
In answer to the original poster, I thought the bride looked lovely.

Whilst deploring the attack on Maw's innocent and light hearted post, I do worry about the poster who launches these attacks on such a regular basis.

I was genuinely for a minute there, wondering how Dolly Parton had upset the royals.

Jalima1108 Maybe quoting a twice divorced woman whose third marriage disrupted the entire royal family for two generations could be considered inappropriate in this context.

Having missed most of it except for a quick flick through the Sunday papers looking at the photos, I thought my comment (after seeing the enormous hothouse glass wedding venue) was going to to be that of Dolly Parton: "it costs a lot of money to look this cheap"! but I was wrong.
I thought Pippa's dress was lovely and elegant and in a style which would not attract comments about her derrière, her hair was up and not hanging around and many of the guests looked lovely. Not sure about the pageboys' knickerbockers though - they are going to feel very embarrassed when Aunty Pippa gets out her wedding photos one day to show their future spouses.

I don't think it was George 'picking his nose', it was another little brat boy.

Is Pippa too thin - can you be too rich or too thin?

After a wedding don't we all do that, say how lovely the bride was but criticise other people's dreadful choice of outfits?
