Congratulations to Boris and Carrie who got married today in Westminster Catholic Cathedral. Just that really. I love weddings, doesn't matter who the couple are, I always hope it works out happily.

Except for the children themselves, it isn't really anyone else's business how many kids Boris has. I'm glad he refuses to say. People are very intrusive.

Hear, hear, grannygravy.

As the lady said on the news review last night, ‘I suppose, when you’re PM you can do what you like’.

All this 'rule bending' makes me despair when its coming from the top. Surely a quiet Registry Office would have been more appropriate given the Covid crisis still and previous history of the participants, but it feels they are 'above' all that and therefore 'above' us all.

Carrie is.

Well, obviously not a committed one, since she committed adultery and had (gosh! wow!) sex out of wedlock.

Judgmental, much?

FannyCornforth Sun 30-May-21 11:41:42

Chestnut it's his third marriage.
He won't even say how many children he's got.

I do hope that you are not referring to me as a 'usual suspect'.
I can assure you that I am neither nasty nor bitter. As many on here can attest. smile
I am, however, a very good judge of character.

grin Well, isn't that shocking compared to some of the things carried out by the Catholic church over the centuries!!

Sex outside marriage and producing a child out of wedlock shock

When a man marries his mistress it does not always create a vacancy, if Carrie is the one I wish them every happiness.

I should imagine that the percentage of virgin brides in the UK is down to single figures so wearing a white dress is not a problem. It is her first marriage and obviously wanted it to be special (as does every bride)

A happily married man will/would not stray, and as Mr.Johnson refuses to kiss and tell no one on GN or in the MSM knows both sides.

If the Catholic Church is now allowing divorcees to marry, well done them.

Chestnut Sun 30-May-21 11:38:17

So many bitter nasty remarks here (yes the usual suspects!) ?
I'm sure many men have had mistresses in their youth but settle down when they get older. I don't think there will be any more, and I hope they will be happy together. (I'm not saying it's right or acceptable, it's just a fact).

I agree WadesNan
Where are the people who leap to Prince Harry's defence but are not defending a couple who have just got married?

Yes, but Sparklefizz you have missed the point.
Meghan and Harry were both virgins when they got married and never accepted any public money.

FannyCornforth Sun 30-May-21 11:31:39

There is no evidence that Carrie is a 'marriage breaker'.
Carrie was linked to Johnson in 2019, and Johnson and Marina announced their divorce in 2018 (when Marina was undergoing cancer treatment).
Johnson's marriage to Marina had been broken for quite some time prior to that I believe.

I'll put my hand up to the accusation of being a 'Boris hater'.
It's got nothing to do with his politics, and everything to with his moral compass; overblown ego; sense of entitlement; and generally being an unpleasant, untrustworthy git.

MayBee70 Sun 30-May-21 11:29:48

I don’t have problem in general with anyone wearing white on their wedding day but this is a case of someone having a highly religious wedding in. Catholic Church that is opposed to divorce, adultery etc and rules seem to have been bent to allow them to do so. For what it’s worth I was married in a registry office and wore black. Not that I’ve ever had an affair with a married man. Mind you, I’ve often thought that it could be a good thing to join a religion that allows you to do whatever you like because all you have to do is confess it and you’ll go straight to heaven.

Nannan2 Sun 30-May-21 11:29:36

Also as they dont recognise that, they dont recognise the divorce of such a previous marriage.

I don't like the dress.
It's a nice style, but the fabric is awful.
It looks like too white polyester.
It would have been better in ivory.

I think the fabric is likely to be organic silk if Carrie's views are anything to go by.
I think it is lovely and suits her.

BTW there must be many “hypocrites” among us (myself included) who wore white wedding dresses as was the fashion in our day but we weren’t virgins.
Now it has become the fashion for wedding dresses to be ivory or other colours. Still nothing to do with our virginity IMHO. ?

Sanity prevails Puzzler smile

Nannan2 Sun 30-May-21 11:28:23

Catholics can marry in a catholic church if they have only been wed previously in a register office- (or somewhere else by a registrar, like a stately home,etc) as that's not recognised by the catholic church.I know this as i did it myself some years ago.

I’m a glass half full kind of gal Whitewave . ?

fairfraise Sun 30-May-21 11:27:31

The dress looks lovely to me. She's tall and willowy and can carry it well.

It looks terribly cheap tbh.

Perhaps they are a bit hard up ????

Congratulations to Carrie and Boris and I hope they have many years of happiness ahead of them with their little boy Wilfred. ??

Oh dear, you are bound for disappointment I’m afraid.
