Oh dear Harry and Meghan

74 Lucca. Which in a particularly vicious thread, can at times be no longer than an hour.

Prince Charles said many, many years ago he wouldn’t pledge to defend THE faith, but all faiths. He was prevented from doing so by the traditional wording of his title, when he becomes king.

Megan was a divorcee, she can marry in the C of E but usually
divorcees don’t wearing virginal white ,perhaps they do in
America and I am sure some do in this country, I have never
a divorcee in virginal white.

Are we nearly there yet?

Of course most first time brides haven't just been holding hands and the church has made allowances, but second or subsequent marriage you can't pretend innocence!!

So hypocrisy and pretence are fine....unless you Are MM??

And I assume you know PC intimately to know about his faith or lack of? And yet people are constantly criticised on here for nor "knowing" Harry or Meghan!

GagaJo Most 'Christians' who attend church don't have a real, living faith.

And your evidence for this blanket, insulting comment? Or is it just another easily cast slur on people. You have spoken to millions of Christians around the world I take it.

Exactly Q I! Just in order to marry, not for any clear religious
reason, even going to the lengths of Anglican Confirmation! eeek! I wonder what the Archbishop made of it?!

What I found a bit, not exactly disconcerting I don’t know what exactly was how MM changed religion. From being brought up RC, then converted to Judaism to marry ( not easy ) and then was C of E to marry again.

Most 'Christians' who attend church don't have a real, living faith.

Marriage in church, in white, is a tradition. MM is no more of a hypocrite than all of those other brides. Saying she is, is ridiculous. PC isn't a Christian other than in the formal sense.

You don't know a lot of things about me Annie and I said "all" from the film Alfie. I usually post for my own amusement what else is there? Especially on threads like this.

trisher I didn’t know you had personal experience with the
worlds most influential people ?

I said ‘girls’ not ‘all the girls’, you are posting for your amusement now

Jabberwok wearing white for a bride is a relatively new custom it has nothing to do with religion or faith. In Victorian times few brides wore white.

Why get married in Church at all if religion means nothing to you and religious vows are meaningless. I did say that the Church does turn a blind eye to first time white brides, but second and subsequent marriages is stretching credulity a bit! I also commented on the fact that that having received instruction and commitment to confirmation that Meghan took her new religion seriously and presumably would have been mindful of the churches teaching, otherwise why do it?

It's the film industry Annie It influences all our lives and the really active people in that industry live in LA. I know this because of personal experience. If you choose to ignore it that's up to you. But fashion and life in general is influenced by films. I don't think "all" the girls were having sexual intercourse by 1966.

trisher you said

‘The people working and living there are amongst the most
active in influential in the world’ who ?

And girls were having sexual intercourse before 1966

How can a place be shallow? Thats just silly. Is another place serious?

Jabberwok if that applied loads of women walking down the aisle shouldn't be wearing white, but they are. It's just a change of custom. There is no religious requirement.

Annie it isn't a person it's a culture. Think it was in "Alfie" when he commented that once sexual intercourse was shown in films all the girls would be doing it.

Of course most first time brides haven't just been holding hands and the church has made allowances, but second or subsequent marriage you can't pretend innocence!! Confirmation is usually undertaken as a serious religious commitment not just a means to a Hollywood wedding.

Who in LA is influential in the world ?

Some of the output is shallow some of it is cutting edge and changes our culture. Film making is highly influential and the people living and working there are amongst the most active and influential in the world.

There’s got to be a reason it’s called “La-la land”

There are VERY few virginal brides these days, regardless of their previous marital status.

A place called the centre of film and tv industries isn’t shallow?
