Peter Phillips Wedding

[StrawberryWasp]

Hello I thought I'd start a thread where we can build up the excitement for tomorrow 😂

I'm enjoying the English Country/ family vibe I'm getting from the setting and wedding prep.

Fox Gloves in the flowers 💕

I'm looking forward to seeing Harriet's dress, she's a very attractive women, but the flowers are always of special interst to me.

Who do we think will be bridesmaids? Peters P's and Harriet's daughters presumably? Zara's kids?

I read that Philip and Zara have a half sister who will be attending, I didn't kow about her!

I also read that Peters first wedding to Autumn was sold to Hello and criticised for this. Very tacky. It looks like he's learned and is not cashing in this time, so hopefully we'll get a good look at evryone.

You have to remember that divorcees marrying was still very new in 2005 - the General Synod only approved it in 2002 so the church was still feeling its way.

Traditionally the heir hadn't been allowed to marry a divorcee at all - the whole Edward and Wallis abdication was probably in the Queen's mind. There were questions about whether divorced Charles should be allowed to remarry at all. There were rumours flying about the European Court of Human Rights although the government did concede he had the right to marry under the Human Rights Act 1998.

Plus there were additional complications of Camilla's ex still being alive and the vitriolic "Saint Diana" movement was still very strong.

To be fair, Debenhams 1995 was the dream for me at that point 😆

What a frump fest.
The bride looks good.
Kate's brand of dull seems to work for her, but by God, I've never seen Beatrice or Eugenie look good.

Are 'fascinators' still a thing? They're often good for a bit of unintended hilarity

Personally I think all the brides pictured here look radiant! , and that is all that matters.

I love this outfit .
Very Bianca Jagger

The twigs, feathers and protuberances styles seem to be ‘out’, and the ‘mounds of cloth sitting on a headband’ style would appear to be ‘in’.

Who's rocking the trews?
