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.

YABVU to assume that the Daily Mail has any idea of who has actually been invited to this wedding. Do you really think that Pippa's pals are ringing up the DM to complain about her supposed 'no ring, no bring' rule Hmm? The tabloids make this stuff up, love. They just make it up.

i was thinking is she one of the tennis sisters?

(just googled her, very pretty)

Crumbs1 · 19/05/2017 09:09

I have no idea who most of these people are but to assume the Middletons are a run of the mill middle class family is ludicrous. Mr and Mrs have a 50 million dollar business. Mr Middletons family can be traced straight back to Henry VIII. They have huge family wealth tied up in trusts around Leeds. The once owned the Grand Arcade shopping centre. School fees for Marlborough came from the trust.

Meghan is going to steal Pippas thunder big style, the press are desperate to get pictures of her and Harry together.

FrenchMartiniTime · 19/05/2017 09:16

Don't believe everything you read in the Daily Fail.

BillSykesDog · 19/05/2017 09:16

Vogue is actually quite highly qualified in Construction Management. I would have loved to see her bossing around a site of builders.

HappyFlappy · 19/05/2017 09:17

I have never heard of any of these people. And yet I am curiously invested in everything to do with them having read the opening post.

RockyBird · 19/05/2017 09:22

I don't know who most of these people are but loving this thread all the same.

Goldfishjane · 19/05/2017 09:22

I opened this to see if she was a tennis player
Then I realised I had no idea who she is, who Spencer is....I wondered who Pippa was for a minute (I did remember), didn't know she was getting married or that there was a hoopla.

Lightship · 19/05/2017 09:22

This is easily the most important issue of our times. I am deadly serious.

mollyminniemo · 19/05/2017 09:26

Vogue Williams is about as intensely irritating, smug, cheesy and untalented as Pippa, as its Pippa's wedding she cant uninvited herself sadly, however she can choose not to have another seriously annoying person there. YABU.

ShowOfHands · 19/05/2017 09:26

Vogue? Storm?

People? With these names?

I am SO happy right now. Even though I don't really know what's going on.

It is a bit awkward when people are in new relationships at weddings but not to find room for the best man's girlfriend among a guest list of 300 is a bit much. I do not believe Pippa is doing no ring no bring. It is a stunningly tacky thing to do and they will all want this wedding to be thought of as classy.

I also agree that the assumption the bride is behind everything is ridiculous. It is obviously Carol, not Pippa, who has made all of the decisions.

Opened thread thinking to read more...Leave totally confused as has no idea who you are talking about...

TaraCarter · 19/05/2017 09:36

it reads like a plot from one of those 80s/90's daytime american tv soap things

In the next episode, one of the wedding party wakes up and realises it was all a dream.

SuperBeagle · 19/05/2017 09:36

What in the fresh hell is "Vogue" as a name? Confused

CricketRuntAndRashers · 19/05/2017 09:39

Vogue is the fashion magazine. Right?

I don't understand it. Or is there a person named Vogue Williams? I shall google that Grin

ChestnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 19/05/2017 09:41

'Vogue is actually highly qualified in construction management'.

Quote of the day! Grin

JaneEyre70 · 19/05/2017 09:45

To be honest, one would imagine there were a few conversations about ways to not invite Spencer too........he's probably had about 32 girlfriends since they issued the invites Grin. He's not exactly "classy" with his love life, shall one say??

InvisibleKittenAttack · 19/05/2017 09:45

Right - I stopped reading the Daily Mail a while ago and so I'm missing out on this drama!

Have I got this right, Pippa is marrying someone called James, who appears to have had posh parents but has earned his own wealth rather than inheritied it.

His brother is a reality TV twat called Spencer, and said reality TV twat brother is the best man.

Vogue is one of those TV personalities called a model to explain why they are always on various TV shows for famous people, she started dating Spencer after meeting him a couple of months ago - probably after the guest list was done, so she's not been invited. She's not a friend of either the bride or groom, so would only expect an invite on "family" category, but having dated for less than 4 months doesn't get you in the 'family' category for most people.

Harry on the other hand is invited, being a friend of the bride and groom, having been seen at various social events with both for years. He's been invited with his girlfriend who he's been dating for best part of a year, so a 'proper partner' not 'the person shagging this week'.

That one of the other guests is invited with his long term partner is seen as a snub to the brother of the groom's new girlfriend because you should treat someone as close family after the 2nd date or something...

If he wasn't the best man, then I'd agree it was not nice to give someone a "plus 1" invite in a 300 guest wedding, but the best man will have various duties, be sat on top table etc, so it's not like he needs a date to keep him company.

Goldfishjane · 19/05/2017 09:47

This thread reminds me of a horrible woman I knew once
She saw me locally, with a friend, and said "are you girls doing the season this year?"

We were 35 at the time, so "girls"... But anyway....I said to her "I'm not sure what you mean" and she repeated "the SEASON darling! The SEASON," then named whatever she considers to be part of it, ending with "you DO know what the season is darling, you DO".

And I said, "well okay, I probably do, thinking about it, but you're talking to us like it's before the war or something." My poor friend was shaking trying not to laugh.

She gave a big sigh. But I genuinely didn't know it was a thing outside of history books now. I don't live in those kind of circles....

TSSDNCOP · 19/05/2017 09:51

The Fail are in a frenzy because no one actually attached to the wedding has revealed any details, so all they can do is speculate get other people that supply portaloos to speculate and chase people carrying garment bags down the street.

InvisibleKittenAttack · 19/05/2017 09:52

JaneEyre - I can completely imagine the "I know, I know, he's going to get his cock out on the dance floor, and/or try to interfer with the bridesmaids, but he's my brother...." conversations! Grin

RoseandVioletCreams · 19/05/2017 09:52

Grin @op.

Hilarious I was thinking in among my many troubles at the moment the same thing. I am not even bothered about Spencer BUT I had an amazing dream about him last night!

He took me skiing in Gsaatd and I have never been skiing and never been to Gsatadd ( cant even spell it) and I woke up thinking.....he is not just anyone, he is immediate family, he is going to be her brother in law they are likely more than others in family to be around each other at family events - xmas etc and Its bloody awful that he has been included in this no ring no bring crap!
I would be furious - its his bloody brother getting married Shock why is Pippa holding all the cards here and deciding who cant come, why isnt Spencer own brother who - hello is also getting married - have a say in this?????

Its appalling he should be allowed to bring who he damn well wants.

However I wonder if Spencer - has asked for vogue not to be invited so he has a clear run at attractive wedding guests Shock
