Boris and Carrie have got married!

I thought if you were divorced. you couldn't get married in a church?

If previous marriage was a civil ceremony they can marry in church. So many cynical people in here. Just wish them well for goodness sake.

If he is Catholic he cannot be PM. Simple as that.

Yes he can. Gordon Brown changed this when he was pm.

Great news? 18 pages of comment? many Gransnetters must feel very differently from me.

Have not read all the posts on this but it happens that the Catholic Church does not recognise marriages that are conducted outside the Catholic Faith. Neither of Boris' two former marriages were Catholic ceremonies so all OK. No Annulment needed.
They will not be the only couple in the entire country who have conducted their nuptials in this manner.
Blessed Be.

Lovely news. A couple in love. I wish them well.

Appalled that they were allowed to marry in a Catholic Church. Appalled that people are prepared to ignore the lies that Mr Johnson has told throughout the pandemic , well not just through the pandemic but his entire personal, political and journalistic life. Appalled that the public calls him Boris because it gives him licence to act like a buffoon.

Well done Blossoming! That's that sorted out!

Fairly sure someone gave chapter and verse earlier in the thread FannyC but I guess people don’t read earlier posts

Seems the Catholic Church does not recognise Boris’ previous two marriages as they were C of E weddings, and I believe Carrie, a Roman Catholic had not been married before hmmm

Like an earlier post said, I wish Carrie luck.

She'll need it with such a philandering husband. If Jennifer Arcuri happened to walk by he'd probably go weak at the knees (and strong in other parts).

I wouldn't trust him more than I could fling him (and believe me, I would like to fling him).

Tell me about it!?

Btw - has anyone mentioned that the Catholic Church does not recognise Johnson's two previous marriages? ?

Carrie is catholic. Boris was born into a catholic family but became Anglican whilst at Eaton and was confirmed as an Anglican at school. Heard it all explained on the radio. My newspaper was full of wedding photos. I thought Carrie looked beautiful in her simple dress and crown of flowers. Congratulations to them.

Hannah - it's all been explained on here too, many times.
Posters are just repeating the same stuff over and over again.
It's what happens when a thread is advertised in the daily email.

CofE marriages don't count as far as Catholics church is concerned.

Just as a sideline. A divorced (not of her choosing) friend of mine was engaged to a catholic man whose wife had died some years previously. He is a devout catholic ... she isn’t ... and he wanted them to get married in a Catholic Church. So, my friend agreed, reluctantly, to this. They had to go to London and she was to be ‘interviewed ‘ by Father Fernackerpants.
On her return she relayed some of the questions she was asked by FF ... talk about intimate and embarrassing. I will not tell anymore but to say I was gobsmacked by the line of questioning just so my friend could marry the man she loved. This man’s wife had died they hadn’t divorced.
Religion!

Does anyone know if people married in the CofE can get married in Catholic ceremonies?



Bread and circuses.

And I'm sorry in advance, I know some will find this rude...but I wanted to add "the fruit" to the end of silvercollie's post.

I believe that in the US, they call a man such as Johnson 'a difficult dog to keep on the porch'
I've heard it said in relation to Bill Clinton.

I think it's too hot today to keep any dog in the porch

I think the fact that the previous marriages have been annulled is a bit of an insult to his other children. I think these children have a pretty low opinion of their Dad anyway, but it just adds insult to injury.

There must have been some shenanigans going on to keep the wedding secret. Surely banns are displayed for 3 weeks before and I would have thought that junior staff reporters would regularly do the rounds of Westminster Cathedral etc to see who's getting married. I have never been inside the Cathedral but maybe there's a hidden spot where they the banns can be displayed without the public coming across them. A confessional perhaps?

Apparently so.

The repetitions on this thread are proof that most on GN don’t bother reading previous comments.

I wish her well but she is going to need it, as by marrying him and becoming a wife she has created a vacancy for a mistress or what ever.
