Wedding on day of Queen’s funeral!!!

[RIPQueen]

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?!

I'm not a Royalist but let the woman go cold before you think about your own self serving interests..I get it weddings are important, but the World will still be turning in 10 days time so the Wedding will still go ahead unless the B&G decide otherwise...If you're the B (or G) maybe it would be a nice mark of respect to to make a subtle nod at your ceremony ?

It's not being a Bridezilla to want a wedding to go ahead !

Happy Silver anniversary!

Blimey, I've hear of Bridezillas but The Queen has just died and you want to make it all about you? Good luck with that. well, life does go on y’know?

From my perspective I bloody hope that if it’s the 19th there isn’t a bank holiday since I’m meant to start a new job on that day and it’s taken me years with serious illness etc thrown in to actually manage to get this job and I suspect that if they’re closed on the 19th then they’ll move my start date back a week because I need to take delivery of laptops etc. And from a financial perspective that is bad.

It's called a mark of respect

What ?

It is not unreasonable to wonder if your wedding service will be cancelled
It will not be up to the bride and groom it will be up to the venue and officiate
Why would you have a nod in your ceremony?

I don't think people are grasping that this isn't just a slightly bigger version of Diana's funeral. Its a state funeral. The last state funeral in the UK was Winston Churchill, nearly 60 years ago. It's going to be bigger than anything most of us have seen. To give you a clue what it'll entail....en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_and_state_funeral_of_George_VI#:~:text=The%20procession%20was%20broadcast%20on,treatment%2C%20and%20also%20by%20radio.

There's no point saying what will or won't happen because Britain was a very different place when we had the last Monarch's funeral, and each time things will change slightly anyway. George VI's funeral was D+9, and that wasn't affected by a weekend. No point speculating.

You didn’t used to be allowed to get married either on a Sunday or after a certain time (maybe 5pm) any day. Those were certainly the rules when I got married, admittedly a few decades ago. I believe the rules have since changed but guess not everyone knows that.

Totally irrelevant but that's my anniversary!

Oh @Slightlystressedbride enjoy your day. Most people who love you will be happy to celebrate your long awaited day. I’m pretty sure the Queen would want you to, too.

I read somewhere months back it will most likely be on the Saturday somewhere between 8 and 13 days after.
I think it will be the 17th

Ah thanks you @Benjispruce4 <waves>

I've opened the wine, there's no point stressing out I've concluded (after a glass of said wine) what will be will be!!!

I think today is day zero. Or rather ‘D-Day’ as operation London Bridge calls it. So tomorrow would be day 1 …

My friend's funeral is scheduled for Monday 19 September :-(

Most news outlets seem to be suggesting 19th now

i read somewher eit wil prob be on monday 19th and shops dont have to close banks will and the stock exchange but thats it

Hope so
Wedding on the 17th has been cancelled twice already

I don’t think you can in church no, but of course many weddings are not in a church. If you’re Jewish, for example, a traditional wedding would invariably be on a Sunday. And non religious weddings can be any time afaik.

Monday 19th is the first day of freshers week. I can't see it changing.

Why would you not? I got married on a Sunday..In church..

Same problem, my cousin is getting married on the 17th. Will just have to do 2 things in one day if they decide to have it on a day you're doing something on...

Well why not? Liz was a great advert for a long happy marriage.

He was a serial adulterer and there were rumours about her as well

King died????🧐🧐
