To think Vogue WIlliams should be invited to Pippa's wedding and feel for Spencer ?

[Radyward]

This hoopla / wedding/ media circus has reportedly 300 guests tomorrow. The reason meghan markle is now invited is because Pippa wants to be invited to Harry 's day if there is one-just my tuppence. Spencer is her brother in law to be fgs . To say Vogue is media obsessed is pot calling kettle ( just surmising the reason for it ) also according to the media donna air as james middletons girlfriend will be there
id say with the carry on with this wedding luxury throne loos etc mrs matthews must be shivering in her shoes as to the daughter in law she is getting . Pippa is being portrayed as a right princess but its the Matthews who are seriously wealthy. Talk about pippa landing on her feet. How are the Middletons so well off now when neither of the parents came from Wealth?. Kate and pippa have really made good.

The Fiances family might be wealthy and have a Scottish estate and title now but they earn rather than inherited their money and they bought the title.
Nothing wrong with that but they are certainly not posh

'Vogue's' birth name was Sharon. Middletons are such Hyacinth Buckets aren't they? If I were
'Vogue' I'd rock up uninvited in Moulin Rouge attire.

To not invite the best man plus one is actually stunningly rude. Particularly when you are making exceptions for your brother in law's brother.

I have to say, I actually agree with the analysis that it's being done to ensure that Pippa and husband get an invite to the Royal Wedding. Even if it's not, it looks that way.

I like Vogue too. She was a good sport on that Bear Grylls thing and she je being a good sport now pretending that she has some absolutely unpostponable commitment that means she can't attend. She comes out ofmit all looking a lot better than the Middletons

Why are you all talking as if the groom does not exist?

If the groom's brother's girlfriend is not invited to a wedding, this can't be solely down to the bride.
Either the groom agrees that she should not be invited, or at minimum he is going alone with it.

How are the Middletons so well off now

Because they run a very successful party supplies business?

I have no idea who Vogue is (dreadful name though) although if she's associated with Brian from Westlife I can understand why she's not been invited.

I'd love an extra couple of bank holidays

Don't think we'll get these when Harry marries - too far down the pecking order.

Why is the wedding planning assumed to be Pippa's choice only - surely her DH to be gets a say in whether or not to incite his brothers gf.

I imagine the grooms family are very used to a succession of girlfriends coming and going!

Vogue - is the entire family named after magazines? Pity the one called 'Portable Restroom Operator' or 'Cranes Today'.

I luvz Vogue Williams. Can't understand what she was ever doing with McFadden though.

I'm with Pippa on this one though, it can be awkward when close family members are in fairly new relationships when it comes to weddings. With hindsight I would have done what she is doing. At my wedding BIL bought his newish girlfriend. They were love's young dream at the time, however it was obvious from the outside that they had very little in common and that she was a difficult, unstable character who would find it hard to maintain any relationship and he wasn't patient enough to deal with that long term. It was clear it wouldn't last. Nevertheless we went for the polite option and invited her. And she came, in an elaborate evening gown to a smart casual wedding. . And she's in all the family photos and every picture of BIL, and she hung around the wedding party all day. This person we didn't like, didn't know very well and is now a very distant memory is prominent in all our pictures etc. And of course it did break up spectacularly badly with her financially ripping off BIL massively and telling huge lies (like hiding she'd been sacked from her job for several months and conning him into making up the shortfall with lies about 'bank account problems').

I really wish she hadn't been there and I'd followed my gut and not invited her. I'm with Pippa, if she feels like she's not going to be around long I don't see why she'd bother.

But its all just media speculation!!!!!

No one KNOWS Vogue wasn't invited. No one KNOWS Donna wasn't invited all along. No one knows for sure there was a 'no ring, no bring' rule. Poor wo.an is just trying to get married and the daily fail in particular seem to be obsessed with dreating a drama, especially over who was invited!

Bill that regret could stand though for any relationship that broke up acrimoniously afterwards (including the bride and grooms!) He could have ended up marrying her and then you would have forever been known as the SIL who didn't invite her to your wedding.

Why do you care?

And who the feck is Vogue Williams?

I'm proud to say that I've got no idea who you're talking about.

I don't even know who Vogue Williams is.

I suspect I probably don't want or need to know either.

You sound ever so slightly over invested in this OP. Calm down dear.

Chesnuts ummm no. Ronan Keating the ultimate slimeball is married to 'Storm' who is really Sharyn...

Vogue is actually just called Vogue. Just saying.

I imagine the wedding oraganisers Ok magazine don't think Vogue is worthy of the wedding and pippa had approval of guests princes and sharon vogue doesn't quite fit the photo cover its all really tacky tbh.

Stand corrected storm is Sharon sorry Vogue

I need a [boggle] emoticon for this whole thread.

I admire your dedication to Middleton family gossip. It takes me ll my time to keep up with my own families goings on.

OP, 'Pippa' 'Spencer', using just their first names like you know them 😂 unless you are indeed close to either family you don't know who is invited.

Just like any other couple, they can invite or not invite who the feck they want to their wedding, though I agree that the combination of minor sleb, royal family members and a self-styled Lothario of a BIL makes it hard not to rubberneck.

What the fuck are you prattling on about ?

Thanks Donut I was mixing up me Storms and Vogues.

Vogue and Storm! Is Wolverine on the guest list too?
