Eugenie’ wedding

I think he looks fine, some of the Royals don't. A distinctly equine look.

I didn't watch any of the wedding and really have very little interest in the royal family at all, but this has really shocked me:

A number of gift bags given to wedding guests of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are being sold online.
Around a dozen bags are up for sale on the website eBay, with asking prices of up to £1,000

BBC news online. I think it's a horribly cheap and rude thing to do.

I agree with you Annie, some of the cruel comments in the media and on here about a young couple on their wedding day are nasty beyond belief! I think commenting adversely about how people look is perhaps a sticky wicket! I wonder how some of the commentators would stand too much scrutiny in the looks department?!!!

Unless proceeds are for a charity then they are not respectful or real friends !

Selling the gift bags? How tacky and downright rude can you be? words fail me!

Ann, I have to agree with Anniebach and NanKate that it is soo frustrating under your circumstances - is it of any help at all to say that we feel for you?
This culture should be ashamed.
He is a very blessed man to have you. Would he do the same if the roles were reversed?
Would like to offer more practical help than mere words....

nankate might also have had something to do with a tax break given then -

The media wanted show biz, dramatics, gossip, they got a wedding which was carried out with much dignity , a bride and groom who didn’t have a need to put on the a Hollywood ‘stars in their eyes, soooo in love ‘ for the camera. All I heard was ‘it wasn’t grand like the previous wedding’.

Thank God it wasn’t .

Why have I not found photos anywhere of Nicola and George Brooksbank the groom's parents
I was curious to see the MoG outfit.

Interesting statistics today on the BBC website about the funding of public events, discussed on here earlier. It looks as though the security for most of them, including football matches, is almost entirely funded by the public purse, so this was no different (and gave just as much pleasure to those watching as a football match, surely).

Nina, scroll through and you will see them.

Very floral nina not confirming to "the uniform"
She chose her own style (that is if I got the right person).

I thought the bride looked beautiful. It was just a rather oversized 'family' wedding, all doing their own thing, but with an incredibly motley list of celebs guests which I found a bit odd; however, all to their own! I didn't see it on tv but caught up later with the pics on the Daily Wail

Which has 17 pages plus a souvenir booklet!

His parents were very sidelined by the press.

Lovely photographs Marydoll, thank you.

My wedding band is Welsh gold too ?

Little Mia Tindall was not to be seen much either.
Charlotte is the darling of the press, thousands of photographs of her.

Maybe little Mia Tindall is too normal annsixty therefore perhaps not worthy of press attention .

I Have just seen a photo of the bride for the first time ( thank you Marydoll) and have to say she looks absolutely stunning .

From what little I saw of Mia Tindall she looked like she'd rather be wearing jeans and devouring a huge ice cream.
Savannah Phillips is developing a lovely relationship with George. Whenever you see them together she's larking about and making him laugh. He's nowhere near as hesitant when she's around.

I think you're probably right merlot she reminds me a lot of my own DGD’s who much prefer the outdoor life to dressing up.

Meant to add Her mum Zara is one of my DGD’s “hero’s” (they’re horse mad ) .

Should have said “sporting hero’s” before I get my head bitten off for suggesting that a sportsperson can be a hero.

Savannah Phillips seems to be quite a character. I can see a resemblance to her grandmother Princess Anne in several ways. Her relationship with George is lovely to see.

Nicola B looked much better than Sarah Ferguson in my opinion. There are photos online if you look.

If you follow the link I posted, you will see them, Sparklefizz. There is one with the Duchess of York and the parents of the groom.
