Boris and Carrie have got married!

As an aside to B&C’s wedding most brides in the 1970’s wore Berkertex wedding dresses (remember those?) and mine cost £49.99, the veil was £15.
I wonder what the average bride spends on her wedding dress and veil today - thousands of £’s? .......

Indeed there should be no scandal related to teachers having relationships with their pupils.

Mais ouì .... Ellianne and Maw Macron’s wife is a quarter of a century older and was his teacher. But I admire them for the fact that they are still together, despite the scandal and opposition they had to face at the time.

Are Johnson's other children regarded as illegitimate by the Catholic Church? I've always wondered if I was. My mum and dad were married in a Cof E church, but my dad was actually baptised a Catholic. I thought perhaps the RC wouldn't recognise their marriage.

I had a dress much like hers in the 70s. Flowers in my hair as well ( but not in a ring). Still got it somewhere.

None of the comments about who looks like who's mother or father are "good points". As for "good legs", did I wake up in the sixties this morning?

People can marry who they like as long as its not within the prohibitions for incest. Age difference is completely immaterial and is just salacious gossiping.

MawBe I am
Absolutely not being either suspicious or sceptical! Just very surprised given the price of the dresses to buy I’m not remotely bothered how much she paid really!

Yes has I have the same concerns about cheering on that behaviour as I do cheering on Johnsons.

Ellianne

I agree with the "father" looking comments, but no one dare mention that Macron's wife is "mother" looking and is a quarter of a century older than he is.

Good point Ellianne - wasnt she his teacher too?

She might dress very smartly, wear shortish skirts and have good legs, but the age gap is still very obvious.

Good idea but £45 seems unlikely! I just checked and to hire a wedding hat near me costs from £54 so surely a dress would be considerably more ..
Could have been mates rates though

Why do people always have to be so suspicious sceptical?
£45 from My Wardrobe HQ
according to several sources

The BBC have it. Well, I think it's great news. Good luck to the pair of them - and Wilfred.

Absolutely, some very nasty comments on here. Let him without sin comes to mind. If it was anyone but Boris, they wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

There must be a way to get a special licence to marry without reading the banns.
We didn't have banns read and had to have a special licence signed by a priest who also had to be a solicitor (we managed to find one).

That’s a bargain. I hired my wedding dress and veil back in the 70s. It cost me £34 then.

Mine cost 33 guineas in the 1960s.
I still have it somewhere, Carrie could have borrowed it if she'd wanted vintage not boho chic!

I think she looked nice, very pretty. He looks a bit old for her more of a ‘father figure’. Good luck to them

Great idea if she did rent it, can’t see the point in spending that amount of money for a few hours’ wear.

^You wouldn’t have had to, it is reported that she rented it for under £50 (daily rental £45 to be exact) for the day.
Very much of her generation, is Carrie.^

Haha! I love that. Go, Carrie! ?

Deedaa

I thought the dress was ok, although I wouldn't have paid £3,000 for it, but does no one else feel that the whole look was more suited to a teenage hippy not a 33 year old woman? As for the flowers - perhaps if it hadn't been to big. It looked as if it was going to slip down over her ears at any moment. We already know that Boris is old enough to be her father but this look really underlined it.

I'm just thankful they got on with it, without hoo ha, and pretty much in private. Good for them. I wish them luck in their future life together.

I still think he's a rubbish PM...

“Wow! I don't think I've ever seen such a perfect couple. She looks incredible - radiant, Boris looks handsome as hell and they are absolutely made for each other. Let me be absolutely clear - this is a marriage made in heaven and one of the great romantic stories of our time has now been consecrated in holy matrimony.”
That sums it up for you all and it’s so good all his children were able to attend.

I also thought Carrie looked boho chic. That’s just the right expression to describe her look. She looked very lovely. It’s not my style, nor my daughter’s, but it was lovely.

I googled ?

"From 1 July 1837 it has also been possible for a marriage to take place, without banns, in a District Register Office or in a certified building (usually a Roman Catholic or Nonconformist church or chapel), either by Certificate or by License, both issued by the Local Superintendent Registrar."

Ahhh, we have the answer. No banns necessary in a Catholic Church. Thanks Alegrias.
