Anyone else seen the news?? Another baby on the way, relationship on the rocks, or good old fashioned age gap love?

@RickiTarr Just reporting it as it was reported the time.

I am not Catholic but I got married in a Catholic Church so there would be no need for him to convert back. I just had to make a declaration that I agreed to our children being brought up as Catholic. All very bemusing as the priest I made a declaration in front of was a C of E convert with a wife and two kids!

thegreylady · 29/05/2021 21:46

I was married in a Catholic Church.
My first wedding CoE ended in divorce.
My second wedding, registry office ended when I was widowed.
My third wedding to a devout but divorced RC was in a registry office.
BUT
We were each granted annulments by the RC Church. This was from my first marriage and dh’s previous marriage. More details only in pm as would be very outing.
We then married each other in an RC Church.

You can use your own vocabulary.

@museumum

You don’t have to be Catholic to marry in a Catholic Church!! You just have to agree to any children being brought up Catholic. And the Catholic Church don’t recognise non-religious weddings so registry office weddings don’t count as actual weddings / divorced.
Oh, right.

Then why have they agreed to this?

It's bloody unusual.

Pretty sure most people in similar circumstances would have received a 'No'.

thecatfromjapan · 29/05/2021 21:49

For what it's worth, I'm really enjoying Mumsnetter stories of their wedding circumstances.

thegreylady · 29/05/2021 21:49

I have been married to dh3 for 33 years now.

@RickiTarr I’ll use whatever vocabulary I choose to, thanks mumHmm

He must spend a huge part of his life in the confession box the amount of lies he tells
He would need one built just for him

Mick Jagger is the only man who makes Murdoch look like an improvement!

How do you get an annulment of a marriage which was consummated and not entered into under fraudulent grounds? Do both parties have to agree to it? I wouldn't be agreeing to anything that made my marriage as if it had never happened.

I also wouldn't be feeling too sorry for Marina Wheeler - she was the mistress once too iirc. They got married soon after his annulment from his first wife and not long before their baby was born.

There'll be a special mobile confessional made for him. Like one of those electric milkman floats. Which would lend a suitable air of Benny Hill-ishness to proceedings.

GlutenFreeGingerCake · 29/05/2021 21:54

All very secret and weird I bet Dominic Cummings could shed some light on this.

IcedPurple · 29/05/2021 21:55

Is she pregnant again?

He's like a Benny Hill version of Henry VIII.

If it weren't for the tragedy of COVID deaths, there really would be a sense of farcical repetition.

Pinkcadillac · 29/05/2021 21:56

I am guessing that Boris's previous marriages weren't in the Catholic Church - otherwise he would only be able to marry again in the church if he had had both marriages annulled. This usually takes years.

The Spanish queen, Letizia, had been married before marrying the king in the Catholic Church, but her first wedding was civil, not religious.

the80sweregreat · 29/05/2021 21:56

I read last week they were getting married in July.

vera99 · 29/05/2021 21:57

Well vote for a clown and get a circus - satirists can just throw in the towel now but at least it's not a war ...for now..

osbertthesyrianhamster · 29/05/2021 21:57

@donquixotedelamancha

The Church could care less what the State says is a marriage. In the eyes of the Church, this is his first marriage.

Couldn't care less. Could care less would mean they do care.

Also this isn't true.

Thought his first marriage was annulled. Actually, they do care. If you've had a Protestant marriage before, it has to be dismissed for Lack of Form or some other reason otherwise no dice. Civil weddings, different.

Well which is it? Are you blaming the original reporting for your choice of words? Or are you proudly choosing to call children “illegitimate”?

osbertthesyrianhamster · 29/05/2021 21:59

But c'mon, he's a total baby daddy.
