To worry my wedding will be cancelled (Queen's health)

[theexceliconisgreen]

I have just seen the upsetting news about the Queen under medical supervision and as the family are travelling to be with her it looks like it could be bad news.

I have a small registry office wedding ceremony booked on Wednesday 21st September, just wondering in case anything happens, does anyone know if registry office services would be cancelled to accommodate the funeral or the mourning period?

If it clashes with the funeral then probably will be postponed otherwise I wouldn't worry too much until you know the date of the funeral.

Mumsnet is going to be absolutely unbearable for the next couple of weeks.

Course not. Why would it?

Registry offices are public buildings. They might shut during a official period of mourning. I don’t think anyone knows for sure.

In the nicest possible way… please don’t be so selfish and self absorbed.

Perhaps MNHQ should move all threads to the Royal Family topic?

If enough of us ask, then maybe they will.

Then they're all together for those who want them, and easily hidden for those who don't

win/win

Nobody can tell you because it's so rare. We are on standby (a church) but have had nothing in the planning saying no weddings or funerals to be rearranged.

In the nicest way possible, don’t be so ridiculous.

Eh?!

Why on earth shouldn't the op be worried about her wedding?

I hope it can still go ahead for you, OP. I don’t see why the big day you and your family have planned should be cancelled, national morning or not.

Perfectly valid question. I imagine registry offices will be closed on the day of the funeral but not the rest of the time.

Agree too. It’s important. We don’t know what the plan is for how many days of mourning or for the funeral. It’s understandable she’s worried.

I think you will be ok but I would also be worrying in your shoes. I hope your wedding goes ahead OP xx

The responses on here are so bizarre. Honestly I don't give a flying fu** about some rich woman I have never met. We have old people dying every day in much worse circumstances because if the state of the country, wish people would worry about that. We give the monarchy an insane amount of money in tax that could be used in much better ways. Hopefully this will start the end of the monarchy.

In the nicest possible way... please don't be such a prat.

It really is. No one will be allowed to ask ANYTHING at all.

@LargeglassofRosePlease oh come on.

Would you feel the same if it was your wedding? Or your daughters?

Its a very old lady that the OP has never met and that wouldn’t care if the OP (or anyone of us) were to die. Why would she NOT be concerned about the impact on her wedding?

I work in a local authority in Scotland and we're not expecting to close anything apart from the day of the funeral. Each one will be slightly different, but unless you're unlucky and it's the day of the funeral itself, you should be fine. As with the person above, I suspect it's imminent, so your wedding should be totally fine.

Ignore the silliness OP. It’s quite reasonable for you to be concerned.

It would seem overkill to cancel weddings but I don’t think anyone really knows yet.

I hope you have a super day.

I don't think it's unreasonable for OP to wonder this 😕

If the Queen does die, I'd expect a lot of things to be closed for the day of her funeral, at the least.

There is also quite a strict schedule of being in Buckingham Palace for X days, laying in state for X days, etc etc, so the day of the funeral will probably be known almost immediately on confirmation of her passing, which would give places time to organise their closures. I'd also be concerned if I had a wedding planned and this happened.

Its totally understandable that the op is concerned about her own wedding. Anyone would be.

Give them a call tomorrow, they will likely have a plan in place for this. Hope it all goes to plan op.

My DDs is 17th- shouldn't have gone for church flowers as I imagine they will be banned.

🍪

This is a ridiculous comment. I think it is a valid question from the OP.

And she’s not dead yet so this is a really self centred question to ask.

I agree!

I can’t believe someone has actually heard news about someone being ill and their first thought is about themselves.

Some people are such attention seekers!

She’s not dead yet.
When she does die then you can see what impact it has on your life.

I think you’re forgetting that the people around probably aren’t as fussed about your wedding as you are.

@SunnyD44 are you serious?

Why would the death of a very old lady that doesn’t care about the OP and that the OP doesn’t know, be more important to her than her own wedding and having her sister there?

I think you’re forgetting that not everyone is as fussed about the monarchy as you are.
