Crikey believe me he is not an alpha male. Unless you mean that all the husbands of the people who have managed to remain faithful are somehow less of a man?

Boris definitely is an alpha male. But an alpha male is not necessarily a womaniser, so there's no disrespect to any alpha males who stay with one woman.

In what way is Boris an alpha male ? Genuine question.

So many bitter remarks on here, really truly nastiness. Disgusting.

I’m afraid that I find Johnson a thoroughly disgusting person, both morally and politically. And his new wife appears to be controlling him politically. There’s an article in today’s Times that says she was the one that’s chose Johnson’s new press Secretary: someone said that Carrie would have gone bananas if she hadn’t got her way. What sort of way is this to run a country?

Oh and by the way I think the remarks about veils and white dresses are completely bonkers in 2021.

I don’t hate Boris . I disapprove strongly of his actions.

I shall have a quick squint at her dress as I like fashion.

I've been maŕied three times .The first in our local Catholic church, ended in divorce 10 years later.Could still take communion. Five years later married in Registry office .Both strong Catholics ,couldn't take communion.My husband died two weeks before our 1st anniversary. According to the priest he could have received communion because he was dying ! Eighteen months later I married my third husband in Registry office and stopped attending church.I remember reading that Frank Sinatra had a marrige annulled so that he could marry in the Catholic church. One law for the rich but not for everyone.
I wish Boris and Carrie all the best and hope they have a long and happy life.

Maybee justifying nastiness doesn’t make it right. Ever, whatever the reasons.

Look on Costarello's website Lucca if you like fashion. There are some exquisite gowns in embroidered lace.
Good taste.

I agree with Lucca, she says she doesn’t like what Boris does, but she’s not nasty in what she says. I agree with you Lucca about the dress, I was interested too.

Don’t believe everything you read in the media- there are too many expressions of outrage these days about reports from Twitter/the press/online media sites some of us do not read of (and have little wish to - Fox News, Connexion, Mail on Line etc etc )
When I read “someone says”: or “there’s an article etc” I can sense the hand getting ready to clutch those pearls..

Why is everybody so uptight?

Thanks Ellianne. I’ve ordered a few items totalling £6000. I hope they arrive on time for the grandchildren coming to stay . I can just see me wearing these creations while playing hide and seek in the woods........

I think this list describes Boris pretty well. Whether you think he's good looking or an 'effective' leader is a matter of personal opinion of course. But he is a leader not a follower.

They're Keenly Aware of Status.
They Tend to be Good Looking
They're Effective Leaders and Exist at the Top of Their Status Hierarchies.
They're Confident.
They're Extroverted.
They're Visionary.
They're Successful with Women.
They Don't Shy Away from Conflict.

Don't forget the head garland too!

I thought Carrie looked gorgeous - boho and summery and not OTT. Just right.

What a very pretty feminine dress Carrie chose. Strictly speaking, a tiny bit fussy for my taste but so much classier than the off the shoulders, cleavage displaying styles that so many young women chose these days.

They look so happy and it would take a really mean spirited person, regardless of their political leanings, to not wish them well.

I think it was pretty two faced of her to wear white. I wonder if there’s any significance in the fact that she didn’t wear a veil? Was it from choice or was she not allowed to? I know how betrayed children feel when their father leaves their mother for another woman so all I can think of is how his (acknowledged) children must be feeling now.

Strange post! How very old fashioned, white is just seen now as a traditional colour to be married in, nobody expects the bride to be a virgin on their wedding day ( not that they did 50 years ago either.) Quite often a couple marry when they have lived together for many years and have children these days, but the bride still wants to wear white, usually.
Wearing white only came into fashion mid to late 19th century I think, before that brides just wore their prettiest dress, but there aren’t many women now who choose a different colour for a church wedding.
I thought Carrie looked rather nice in the lacy long dress and floral headband.

well at least this has killed the harry and meghan thread.

Because she married a divorced man. The church should either allow it for everyone or for no one, not just because the man was a person of influence.

Haven’t you read the whole thread? It wasn’t because he is a person of influence, it’s simply Roman Catholic rules.
If you are both Catholic and marry in a Catholic church then divorce, you can’t then marry someone else in a Catholic church.If you are Catholic and marry somebody in a C of E church, or a chapel, or a registry office and then divorce them,
Then later you can marry in a Catholic Church because the RC church doesn't recognise marriages made elsewhere.

I have no problem with anyone saying ‘unpleasant’ things about Johnson, he’s a public figure, but by the same token it’s also ok to say what you think about Harry and Meghan, public figures also.
Posters can’t pour bile on Boris and Carrie and then complain of bile against H and M ( but they do, regularly and vociferously).

So the Catholic Church regards Johnson’s other children (the acknowledged ones) as illegitimate?

Came in out of the sun. Looked at this thread for a bit of entertainment whilst having a cuppa. Not disappointed . Sad eh?

Perhaps they’ll crowd fund for the honeymoon. Are there a few donors on here perhaps?

illegitimate means absolutely nothing in the 21st century!

We had some of our children before we decided to get married, no problem nowadays, they were and are much loved and they could not give a flying fig regarding being born out of wedlock

Hear, hear again, grannygravy. Nobody is illegitimate nowadays. Silly, pompous, divisive idea that we're well rid of.

Thought the dress was lovely. The style reminded me of the 70's.Loved the flowers too.

Absolutely correct lemongrove, the RC church does not recognise an Anglican marriage, so for both Boris and Carrie this was their first legal marriage! I thought Carrie looked lovely, and Boris as proud as Punch! They seem very much in love and I wish them long life and much happiness, but then I am a Boris fan. My daughter is on her third marriage so I am in no position to comment or criticise that. Lovely photo of baby Wilfred. Wonder where that was?
