Page 4 | To worry my wedding will be cancelled (Queen's health)

theexceliconisgreen · 2022-09-08T14:14:11+00:00

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?

How distasteful. Can the flipping registry office.

Yes god forbid we should want to continue with events important to our own lives when an elderly stranger is unwell 🙄

@2022newnamenewme But she’s not dead?

She could die today, tomorrow or in months or years to come.

Even if she did die it may in no way affect OP and her wedding.

So why try and make it all about yourself when nothing has happened and no one can guess what will happen.

It’s like saying what if we have a war, go on lockdown, have a tsunami, airport strikes etc - anything can happen.

There’s no point stressing about something that hasn’t even happened and you can’t plan for if it did anyway.

Is asking a straightforward question really ‘making it all about herself’? 🤨
Are you genuinely concerned that this one post is taking attention away from the Queen? Worried she’ll notice? If so then why are you posting here and activating the thread?

Don’t be so ridiculous and unkind. Should none of us ever consider the impact a period of significant national mourning may or may not have on our own important events?

It’s not about worrying about the Queen it’s about PPs being hysterical about a potential situation that no one can know the answer to.

She’s dead now anyway so OP doesn’t need to worry as she won’t be affected.

Well, we don't have to speculate any more. Monarchist or republican it is a very sombre day I think, such a long service.

So now asking a question on a discussion forum is ‘hysterical’?

hyperbolic much?
I guess any excuse to be unpleasant is good for some folks!

No it’s the hysteria that comes with these threads from multiple posters who enjoy making a drama over nothing.

It’s unnecessary to make up ‘what if’ scenarios as 99% of the time they don’t happen.

Much better to wait for something like this to happen and then deal with it.

Newnamenewmee · 08/09/2022 19:16

@SunnyD44 but it was so obviously going to happen? Hence the OP asking

SunnyD44 · 08/09/2022 19:29

@Newnamenewmee yes but it would only affect her if it happened within a few days time.

As PPs said if it happens soon which is most likely to (and now has) then why worry as it won’t (and hasn’t) affect her.

It literally just happened!

but thanks for educating us all on how we ought to be using mumsnet.
good to know you’re around to police us and insult us when we don’t do exactly what you think we ought to 😂

Newnamenewmee · 08/09/2022 19:30

@SunnyD44 have you never worried about something that might or might not happen? Especially if it would effect one of the most important days of your life?

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 08/09/2022 19:30

PPs being hysterical about a potential situation that no one can know the answer to.

'hysterical' says the poster who seems most agitated.

HS71 · 08/09/2022 19:39

My son is getting married on 10th and we’re also worried; sorry but they’ve planned it for years! Anyone know if registrars will still work as we’ve heard 12 days gvmnt. officials not working…BTW we know now that our lovely Queen has passed 😢Long live the King 🤴

SunnyD44 · 08/09/2022 19:40

have you never worried about something that might or might not happen? Especially if it would effect one of the most important days of your life?

Not if I know there’s a big chance it won’t affect me.

I’ll wait until a time when it may affect me and then plan accordingly.
Worry is such a wasted emotion, especially when it’s completely unnecessary.

Obviously I am in the minority.
I am autistic so I guess this may be why.

SunnyD44 · 08/09/2022 19:43

@MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake I haven’t been agitated at all.

I can see why the PP who has a wedding in a couple of days would be concerned as they may be affected and it’s fair enough that they worry and try and plan accordingly.

But there was much less chance that OP would have been affected.
So there was absolutely no point in trying to plan or worry when no one knew the answer of what she should do about it.

For someone who attacked the OP fir trying to make everything about herself, you’re doing a great job of making this thread all about you, your opinions on how we should or should not use a public discussion forum and your opinions and preferences.

Not sure it’s me doing that.
Probably more the people @ me or quoting me like you did.

Of course it’s MN so some posters are competitive about not liking the royal family, so if you post something that they take as being in favour of the queen then they’ll try and silence you.

Yeah you’re probably right. It’s the OP and all the rest of us posters that are the problem. Definitely couldn’t be just you.

We’re all conspiring together to ‘silence you’ for you royalist views 😂😂😂

I think it’s weird that you said in one post I’m trying to make this thread all about me, yet you keep talking about me.

Sshhh 🤫🤐

Cd1999 · 08/09/2022 20:15

Very valid worry, I am in the same boat. I’m due to be married this Saturday (10th) and although I am sad that the queen has passed, I am so worried my Wedding will be cancelled (again!!! Already postponed once due to covid). Does anyone have any insight? :(

OrlandointheWilderness · 08/09/2022 20:31

My parents are both vicars with services booked. My DM was wondering about a wedding on sat, as far as she is aware (and will obviously clarify with relevant parties) the wedding will go ahead but she was thinking the bells would have to be muffled.

Wonder of they are doing my DDs- its a vicaring couple
As the bell ringers were doing a special thing- we have all been bell ringers at the church- I will be bit pissed off if no bells

BrokenMatress · 08/09/2022 20:36

My DD has a C of E wedding on the 17th

No flowers I assume
Hopefully the funeral is the 19th - otherwise it will just be a bloody good party

You still seem to be struggling with how discussion boards work.
I can discuss about your hypocrisy as much as I like.

FurAndFeathers · 08/09/2022 20:40

I think services will still go ahead. There’s still a pandemic backlog and not everyone is a royalist. I don’t think as a society we really do official mourning in the same way any more.

I think the day of the funeral (Monday?) will be a public holiday, but other days things will go on as usual

Drunkencrow · 08/09/2022 20:40

Can I ask what people think about a wedding in London on 17th September (Saturday)?
