Thinking about this a little (well I had to do something while I put the rubbish out)...it would have made more sense if they had been legally married i.e signed the register, got the certificate, three days before a big church ceremony at Windsor, which would then have been a blessing rather than a wedding do. I understand that is quite normal, especially if one of the couple are a divorcee.HEPZIBAH wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 8:14 amApparently they did not actually get married three days before the big event. They (she) decided the wedding ceremony wasn't really about them but more a public show so wanted their own little private thing that was all about them. They called in the Archbishop of Canterbury and gave their vows before him. Why they would need him there, and not just be able to share their vows together I cannot imagine.crewmeal wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 7:22 am On another point, we found out that they were married 3 days prior to the big one. So in essence the big one was fake and just a show for the world to see. I reckon if the world knew they got married before then it would be a big turn off. A £30m+ show paid for by the taxpayers.
On a legal note i didn't realise you could get married twice in those circumstances. perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain?
The actual marriage took place...I assume they mean the legal signing of the certificate...during the big public day.
Megan, it appears does not know the difference between a wedding ceremony and a legal marriage ceremony where I have always understood you require witnesses. (Although I could be wrong on the legalities too as I've not checked them for accuracy. )
That does not seem to have been the case though.
