Kitty Spencer

[lollipoprainbow]

It's a rainy Sunday and I'm surrounded by mountains of washing ! Looking at pictures coming out of Rome of Kittys amazing wedding to her rich gorgeous fiancé and feeling a tad envious

😂 😂 😂 😂

From the DM article it looks like two guests wore the same dress! Elon Musk's mum and another guest pictured further down

Pixie Lott was there

Is there any media even she doesn’t attend

I loved Megan’s dress it was so stylish

Kates dress was lovely too and Fergie’s was nice. Diana’s i have never heard anyone say it was lovely it just swamped her

Or maybe it's Julia Perry re the same dress. The captions aren't clear

I think Diana’s dress hasn’t stood the test of time, but it was the early 80s, era of the New Romantics, frills and flounces, ribbons and bows, and I was wowed by it at the time (I was only about 12!). I think the general consensus was that it was stunning though it just looks very dated now, too big, too crumpled, too fussy.
I didn’t particularly like Kate’s dress with the weird pointy boobs, Meghan’s was ok, both Beatrice’s and Eugenie’s were surprisingly classy, like Fergie’s.

I must sound miserable but such ostentatiousness in the middle of a pandemic where a lot of people have lost their livelihoods seems to be in slightly poor taste. Even the royal family have toned it down a bit in the past 18 months!

He might well need a nursemaid when she's 40
People can actually fall sick at any age and require nursing. There's no particular reason why a wealthy 70 year old would need one.

I wish them both a long and happy marriage. But I couldn't help but feel there was a touch of Miss Havisham about the wedding dress.

It’s not Miss Havisham enough unless accessorised with a single shoe, a rotting, decades-old wedding breakfast and a young beauty trained to be a heartbreaker, though.

God help KS, she grew up in a spectacularly tucked-up family — quite apart from her serial-shagger father (who had a ghastly, neglected childhood), her mother was a bulimic heroin addict. One can only wish her a better married life.

Despite all the wealth I genuinely feel sad for her.

Getting married should be the start of an adventure together, with someone who's in the same phase of life as you and who will be by your side for all your life to come. He's just SO much older. He's going to be elderly way before she's even middle aged. If she has children he's going to easily be old enough to be their grandparent and they'll never ever be that 'young family' off on adventures together.

And I guess the truth is that if he really loved her, he wouldn't marry her because he wouldn't steal her life like that and take away her chance to be with someone her own age who can be a proper life partner to her. So it's probably just that he wants the attractive young wife and is used to getting what he wants.

Projecting much! Maybe she doesn’t want to have kids and be part of a ‘young family’. Perhaps she rather fancies a life jet setting the world with a man she loves rather than going to ‘rhyme time’ in the local church hall and saving for a week in cornwall!

LOL everyone on this thread who doesn't know them is projecting.

In my opinoin, there's a lot of sadness in marrying someone who will soon be elderly while you are still young, whatever the short term future holds.

By default this marriage cannot possibly be as long term as most others obviously. A slight long term concern but each to their own and perhaps they will have a couple of decades or so of marital bliss. It would be a future biological challenge even medical advancement nor unlimited financial reserves can fix.

I love her dress. I can't believe a pp said it was nothing special...yeah right.

The dresses in the little video are incredible. I can't imagine that sort of life.

The dresses are all stunning.

Her wedding dress was actually quite similar to her mother's when she married her father!

@Lemonmelonsun

Does the groom have grandchildren? Did they attend?

I read that the groom has adult DC, who Kitty gets on well with. Not sure about DGC though.

Horrible prejudiced nasty comments. Ageist. How are you about mixed race marriages? Or same sex marriages? Or is it just age gaps that you make unpleasant remarks about?

My DP is significantly older than I am. He's in his seventies and travels alone all over the world. He's fit, sexy, loyal, hard-working (still employed), clever.... and it's been decades.

I honestly don't see the age difference and never have. He's just my DP. And met him when I was twenty.

Considering how many aresholes/ abusers/cheaters/drunkards/liars/layabouts/cocklodgers and cheapskates MNers seem to have for partners I think an age gap is really nothing to be worried about!

@blobblob agree ! Some of the comments about the age gap are unreal! My dad was a lot older than my mum and they had a very happy marriage as did my aunt and uncle and he was a lot younger than her.

Did either William or Harry attend the wedding?

Not liking the see through bodice or the long row of buttons down the front. Too many conflicting ideas for my taste.

I am loving the guests outfits though. Even though the invite must say black tie, we’re those split to the naval, proper evening gowns worn to the actual wedding? There’s a massive range of styles, it’s fascinating.
Two guests wearing the same dress.
Blokes trying for 70’s cool.
Brilliant.

It's hard to imagine that any father would be thrilled if their daughter marries someone 5 years older than he is himself.

I don't think you can ignore the age gap in a discussion about this couple.
It's 32 years. Other gaps like Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch/CZJ and Michael Douglas-25 years. It's pretty unusual.
It's not ageist to point out that it's a large age gap. It's fact.

@DolphinDreams

Did either William or Harry attend the wedding?

No. I'm not sure you can glean anything from that though. Especially during a pandemic.

Btw I'm not saying that I don't think they should have got married because a) it's got fuck all to do with me and b) same as a.

But I can see why daddy may not be there.

I agree with this - I can't help wondering if some of these comments spring from jealously. Honestly, she isn't some giddy teenager and they've been together for a while. Let them get on with their life and stop being so judgemental.
