Harry and Meghan: Wedding Suggestions and Musings

Just like John Major went to the Cambridge wedding as a 'knight of the garter' and not as former Prime minister. But that doesn't erase the fact he was former prime minister. And doesn't erase Sophie is the first lady of Canada. And certainly wouldn't stop any talk either.

These people work together and know the value of diplomacy and how to put on a "game face" and work together for a common cause. Whether or not a friendship exists beyond the public level is not something that is made known to us for the most part.

Again there is no need to be a 'friend' tag on any of this. Certainly many of the charity invites wouldn't be classified as friend, or even friendly coworker. Simply an aquintance. There certainly is at least friendly banter, not just 'game face' between Harry and the Obamas.

We also do have photographic evidence that Sophie and Meghan have had private interaction, not for charity and causes.

But Sophie, like Harry and Meghan, know about the talk and power of perception. And would understand why an invite might not have been extended.

Harry and Meghan certainly don't need to turn this into a three ring circus.

Talking about three ring circuses, and yes I know this is the wrong thread, but apparently Samantha M has been complaining that none of the Markles, including herself, has received a wedding invitation. Hide of an elephant, and how would she know about the rest of her family? She's quarrelled with most of them.

[Countessmeout]

Exactly. The woman is just stirring up issues like ever.

She isn't alone. Meghan's talkative nephew (Tom Jr son) Tyler and his mother were also on tv and said they had been snubbed and not got invites. Tyler is said to be going to London anyways.

Thomas wasn't involved in the interview, but he has spoken to the press as well so not sure he should be waiting on an invite.


But Samantha's own kids, her older two, she would have no clue on. They don't speak to her. I'd be surprised if they weren't invited, especially Ashley, who Meghan is close to.

So what other announcement are we expecting before the wedding?

Bridal party
Coat of Arms
Honeymoon location?
Do they usually announce where the bride will be leaving from?

[Osipi]

One thing I'm not expecting to be announced to the public is where they're going on a honeymoon or even when the honeymoon is going to be. That is kept private.

I am secretly hoping that Samantha will catch a glimpse of one of her own children or another discreet Markle relative being escorted to their seats at St. George's Chapel on May 19. However I feel badly that her innocent TV screen will bear the brunt of her tantrum.

Expecting the bridal party members to be announced anytime. I can't remember when they announced Kate's coat of arms..was it the day of the wedding?

They never, far as I remember, tell the honeymoon location (might of with Charles and Diana since they were on a ship).

The Fug Girls wrote a hilarious piece of what should be said at the rehearsal dinner toast.

Yeah I expect the wedding party details will be out pretty soon. Maybe after next week's events. That is the last major announcement left.

[Osipi]

I just checked and the Middleton coat of arms was announced on April 19th, 10 days before the wedding so if there is a coat of arms granted to either Tom Markle, Sr. or just to Meghan, we should hear about that prior to the wedding also.

William and Kate's conjugal coat of arms wasn't revealed until September, 2013 so we'll probably be waiting a while before we see Harry and Meghan's joint coat of arms.

The announcement of any dukedom that is bestowed on Harry will be announced the morning of the wedding so that's something to look for as the talking heads take us through a lot of the lead up to the wedding.

Lots and lots to look forward to.

Well, the wedding party announcement should be coming up. Meghan’s Coat of Arms should be revealed days before the wedding. We should be getting video and photos of the wedding carriage.

This is the same Tyler who admitted in an interview that he hadn't seen or spoken to Meghan in 3 years and Tracey, her ex sister in law, who hadn't seen or spoken to Meghan in 20?

Yeah, not sure why they are surprised about not getting an invitation. Thomas might have gotten one if he hadn't felt the need to seek media attention. Tracey IMO she should have never expected one.

I do think we will see Meghan's nieces. You know, the ones who haven't spoken to the media.

I think we will get the announcement of the bridal party by April 19th. Does anyone remember when William and Kate's party was announced?

It's interesting that these people expected a invitation when none of them were at her first wedding. Very interesting.

And I'm assuming if they don't announce it this week, it'll wait until after CHOGM is done.

Which dukedom Harry will receive. Does that count?

[jacqui24]

I didn't put that down since that'll come the morning of the wedding. I guess that's still technically before the wedding, but I kinda just lump that in with the wedding.

I see that different. It was a destination wedding...not that it didn't count. But maybe they weren't there because of cost factors. So while its possible they were not there because they weren't invited its also possible that they were invited but could not go because of cost.

But they could go to London? I think Tom Jr. told DF that he couldn't go because he had something to do that he couldn't remember what anymore. I feel like if you are close, then it better be something important that you'll remember.

William and Kate's party was announced on February 14.

Yes, its totally possible. Who knows what their financial circumstances were during the time frame of Meghan's first marriage. I know my finances are totally different than they were four years ago. We did have a rescission.

My point is regardless if they were or were not invited to her first marriage, they were not invited to this one.

Thank you. So we should expect the announcement sometime in April I think.

I don't think they will make any major announcement regarding the wedding during the CHOGM week. So maybe we will learn tomorrow
