The Daily Mail are saying funeral is on day 10 of mourning. Assuming tomorrow is day 1, is that not Sunday 18th? What happens to a wedding on that day?!

You get married!

Mercurial123 · 08/09/2022 19:14

I read the funeral will be on the 17th not sure how accurate that is.

CatchYouOnTheFlippetyFlop · 08/09/2022 19:14

Get married! You'll never be able to forget your anniversary!

Mercurial123 · 08/09/2022 19:15

I thought you were getting married and worried about the date. Of course plans shouldn't have to change.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 08/09/2022 19:16

I didn't realise you could get married on a Sunday.

LongLivedQueen · 08/09/2022 19:16

It'll be Monday the 19th

dottiedodah · 08/09/2022 19:17

It would go ahead presumably! I mean it's the 21st c now not the 50s.my nans friend was buying some fish for her cat in the middle of seeing her the fishmonger stopped mid way and shut the shop,. Tiddles was disappointed! The Queen was a wonderful monarch ,now Charles long awaited turn

Get married? Accept some guests will feel unable to attend.

dottiedodah · 08/09/2022 19:18

Sorry when the king died I mean

Really? Is that an English thing?

Lds1 · 08/09/2022 19:19

I got married on a Sunday in England.

Doidontimmm · 08/09/2022 19:22

Of course you can get married on a Sunday!

Fupoffyagrasshole · 08/09/2022 19:22

Why would anyone feel they can’t attend ?? I doubt any of her friends know the queen personally 😂😂

We're getting married on the 17th.
I believe the funeral is on day 10 but that can't be a Sunday (because of God???) so it will be Monday 19th.
To all the PPs saying - well just get married - government offices apparently will be closed including register offices so OP wouldn't be able to get married on the day of the funeral!
But I think you and I will both be fine OP. It will be Monday 19th.
Congratulations!!!

Grumpybutfunny · 08/09/2022 19:25

Get married or have the wedding and make it legal a few days later in registrars are given the day off

Loppa80 · 08/09/2022 19:29

I've just read it will be Mon 19th as today is day 0 they add another day on or something like that..

The past 3 weddings I’ve attended were on a Sunday…

The wedding goes ahead?

ThickCutSteakChips · 08/09/2022 19:33

Will schools be closed if its on a Monday?

MadameMinimes · 08/09/2022 19:34

Like you, I thought the funeral was D day +10. If others are right and it can’t be on a Sunday then that will mean you are likely to be ok. I think those with weddings booked for Monday may have difficulty though. I’d be surprised if either the Church of England or registry offices were performing marriages that day. It will be a day of national mourning with government offices shutting down. I hope people affected are able to find alternatives. I feel for anyone affected.

I hope you’re right - hope everything goes smoothly for you.

tbh my main concern is that the church would refuse. And the venue. Not to mention the traffic as it’s in London. I think we would probably have to cancel. Anyone know when they are announcing a date?

Yes - even if not me, someone people will have their day ruined as I agree I don’t think they can go ahead

are people sure it can’t be a Sunday? Why?
