To think it's unfair on HRH Catherine

[InLoveWithLizML]

It's been on my mind that a spring wedding is one way to make sure all eyes are on you and not Catherine. As depending on the date chosen she'll either be extremely heavily pregnant or possibly postpartum, she's never really rushed to the celeb demands of having your pre-pregnancy body in 4 weeks. If she has HG that lasts till term she really won't enjoy the day, I remember one heavily pregnant Mum when I got married going home in the end to rest she was struggling that much.

It'll be a dilemma for William as he'll want to celebrate the day, as will Catherine. If she's heavily pregnant or post partum he got really overly drink, I think I'm right in thinking Catherine BF so she can't drink and needs somewhere private to feed. (Plus possibly an outfit that allows for ease of feeding)

I'm wondering if there's already an announcement due for once their married, that Harry & Meghan are expecting, thus the 4/5 month turn around if not quicker, going by my interpretations of Spring. It seems rather rushed.

I understand given Meghan's age it's now or never, I just feel it's a bit harsh on Catherine, as in any scenario she'll not overly get to celebrate the day. She's always been close to Harry, so I assume she'd want to take part and have a time similar to her wedding, partying till the small hours.

A summer wedding would give Catherine & William the luxury of not worrying if baby will arrive imminently, or that Catherine will be postpartum, knackered and really not feel like a part of the day.

I know it's Harry & Meghan's big day, but as I've said he's always been close to his brother and SIL. I honestly thought any announcement would be with the third pregnancy in mind.

She is going to baptised and confirmed before the wedding too.

What's your views on that OK?

*OP and OK

I don't get what you're asking Witch

My SIL planned her wedding for when I was heavily pregnant, like a ship in full sail. I didn't know I was entitled to be upset. The "baby" is 40 now, is it too late for me to throw a strop?

My grandma broke her foot two days before my mum and dad got married talk about taking the attention of the bride my grandma was in a wheelchair for the wedding with her foot in a cast .

It's never too late grannytomine, you were cheated you hear! And now's the time to be strong, stand up and get the recognition you deserve dammit!!

I don't think she will need to be baptised - if she did this in a Catholic church then it "counts"

Right that's it then, wait till I see that bitch, how dare she! I've probably been suffering all these years without even knowing it, that sort of pain is worse isn't it because it isn't acknowledged. I don't know how I'm going to get over this. How can she make it up to me now?

Forty years of pain granny well I think she should at least send you a big bunch of flowers to say sorry I'm sorry that this thread had been triggering for you

Thank you x2boys, I think this explains the migraines don't you? The damage she has done me. I might write to HRH so we can commiserate, it might help both of us.

It has been reported that it's happening.

I think it does granny and any other health issues you might have do you think you might have post traumatic stress disorder would counselling help?

It says she is to be baptised and confirmed before the wedding in May.

I didn't think you could have 2 baptisms. The Creed says, "We acknowledge one baptism." If you have been baptized in one Christian denomination I thought you just received into another not rebaptized.

Why has she become Catherine, anyway? She was ALWAYS just plain Kate but even Harry called her Catherine in the interview.

Because that's her actual name...

She was called Kate or Katie by the tabloids who took it upon themselves to shorten it to rhyme with "waity" for a zinger headline but her name always was Catherine.

x2boys good points, I do get alot of stomach pains and this could all be related. My daughter has a friend who is a counsellor, I might ask her advice.

Indeed - if one becomes a catholic then they "accept" a baptism from CoE/Methodist churches (other also probably but definatley those)

Hmm yes I’m sure Kate is dead upset. We will soon have a new poster called WindsorGal starting a thread ‘AIBU to think SIL should postpone their wedding until after the birth?’

I wonder is Kate will post on CIBII for outfit suggestions?

Does anyone else think it's unfair that Meghan Markle will become a British citizen? Why won't she have to follow the rules like everyone else? Live here 5 years (I think) and then pass a test

She isnt Catholic according to the BBC. I believe it's her exH that was.

If she’s being baptised then it’s almost certain that she has not been previously baptised in any denomination of Christianity.

You could knit a pair of Booties for the new baby instead silvery?

I did consider booties but then figured they will be bombarded with run of the mill baby clothes and I wanted to make them something 'yoonique'. I found the attached knitting pattern and think it's absolutely fab and slate grey is perfect since we don't know if it's a boy or girl. www.allfreeknitting.com/Childrens-Knit-Sweaters/Toddler-Kimono-Sweater what do you think?

Well that explains it then. Although I have to say I hate it when people "sign up" for a religion because they are marrying someone who is of that faith. I always had great respect for my mother who had pressure to become a Catholic but she said No, she married in a Catholic church, she brought us up Catholic but she refused to change just because she got married.

I suppose someone could have a Road to Damascus moment that just happened to coincide with a proposal.

Don't be ridiculous.
