I hope so we need a Royal wedding :happy17:.

I will enjoy Fergie being able to sit with Prince Andrew as parents of the bride when the wedding happens (it seems likely to now). The royal establishment cannot do a thing about it.

Eri · June 06, 2013, 08:41:25 PM

^ Sarah is such a mess I am afraid her daughter (s) weddings will be all about her...she is bound to pull something to gain attention...

Queen Camilla · June 06, 2013, 11:46:06 PM

At 24 she's a bit young. I don't see her getting engaged until she's at least 26.

I think Sarah would behave herself at her daughter's wedding.

I agree

The morning of the wedding and for the wedding, Sarah will behave herself.

But from the time the engagement is announced until the morning of the wedding Sarah will be in front of the press somehow... and not with the simple 'we're so proud' statements........

sandy · June 10, 2013, 04:46:42 PM

Some of the royals really are not qualified to throw stones at Sarah. I think she will cry at the wedding when her firstborn gets married. She may give an interview early on sentimental about where did the time go, etc etc.

georgiana996 · August 12, 2013, 12:09:18 AM

So will her wedding be at Westminster abbey?

memememe · August 12, 2013, 01:29:21 AM

More likely St George's and no coverage except maybe of arrivals and departures - like Peter and Zara's.

Sandor · August 12, 2013, 01:41:59 AM

I don't know...I think Andrew and Fergie will want the whole works at Westminster Abbey. :shrug:

If it happens soon (the marriage) Andrew will probably get his way, since I've always heard the Queen finds it hard to say no to him.

Lothwen · August 12, 2013, 01:44:52 AM

24 might be young, but she and David have been together for 6 years.

NotWaitieKatie · August 12, 2013, 03:41:59 AM

Maybe this is why Sarah was invited up north. Getting ready for an announcement.

FanDianaFancy · August 12, 2013, 11:48:33 PM

If,if and a strong if this girl is getting engaged, then yes, of course the day has come for Sarah to have to attend a BRF function and sit front and center.

That is not the question.

The question is when, when these girls get married, how will they be married?
They are way on down the line the line in rank.
PC's family are the next monarchy up.

I think a wedding at Westminster Abbey or St.Pauls and a one will the granduer of PW/K or PH/? would be out of order and too much for the people there to take.
I am not British and I do not live there.
Still, Sarah and Andrew,knowing what is said about them , would want, demand NOTHING less than these churches and Buckingham Palace reception, ride through the streets, pomp and circumstanc, massive media coverage, international press, heads of state , royals invited... etc.

Eug and Bea should have weddings like Zara Phillips. They are all just the QEII's granddaughters.
Eug and Bea have a title of a high one, princess, but , IMHO they should have been styled as "Lady.
Louise is daughter of a Prince. She is styled , "Lady Louise."

To have Eug, Bea, and PH all one day having weddings to rival that of PW of streets blocked off days in advance, workers ' day of, businesses closed, etc. is a bit much.
I do not think mthe marriages of Eug and Bea would call for heads of state to attend and high ranking Euro royals.
These girls are not the children of QEII.
The children of QEII : PAnne, PC, PAndrew had over the top weddings, shutting down the country, workers day off, etc..
Diiferent time and place.
PEdward did not since he married so late in life and so long after his siblings and it was after all his siblings had divorced.
PEdward's wedding was most appropriate. Zara's wedding was most appropriate. Peter Phillips wedding was appropriate.

A wedding like PW and K for Eug and Bea would not be appropriate .
YESYESYES, the BRF and TPTB can seel cold weather to their subjects it seems . I do not see how could get this over to the people that Eug and Bea should a wedding like PW. PH will have to be married like this one day whether he likes it or not.
Actually, maybe, he could requests for a wedding like Zara's if he wished. He is son of the next monarch . He is foruth in line and that is a long way down and is going to change with PW and K's next baby.

Lothwen · August 13, 2013, 12:29:11 AM

^I agree. This would be her daughter's wedding, and as Mother of the Bride she is allowed to be front and center. The only way I would accept her not being so would be if she and Beatrice didn't have a close relationship

Sandor · August 13, 2013, 01:33:13 AM

Beatrice wouldn't get a public holiday, but she could still be married in the Abbey and have a reception at Buckingham Palace. It would just be a private rather than a public occasion.

Honesty · August 13, 2013, 02:00:20 AM

I would like Bea to marry in St. George's chapel, like Edward and Sophie did. Lovely setting and the cost is not that high. Then Buckingham palace for the reception.

FanDianaFancy · August 13, 2013, 02:03:28 AM

Private? Private for princesses? Here lies the problem. I do not think PAndrew, Sarah nor their daughters will want anything private of rumpors are true abput this cast of characters personalities. PAndrew wants his girls, rumor says, as working royals. Princesses. They are Sarah's lifelong ticket.
Rumor says, it seems the girls do not actually work at real life jobs , doing something for themselves and finding their talents like PAnne prepped her children to and they have.
If, if, if the rumor is even true of her getting engaged..time will tell how tis all plays out .

And the balcony and all for their subjects to see them?

Buckingham is still grand. Isnt' St. Georges' Chapel far away or is it close?
Far away would mean a procession. Pomp and pagentry.

If, if any of this is true, time will tell how it all plays out.

memememe · August 13, 2013, 08:15:44 AM

They wouldn't get married at St George's and have the reception at BP - that would mean moving everyone from Windsor to London.

St George's for the wedding and Windsor Castle for the reception is fine for her.

Sandor · August 13, 2013, 12:20:22 PM

If we're considering distance, St. James Chapel is right next door!

(Still say they'd opt for Westminster Abbey; Fergie always goes on about her own wedding there.
And really, there's no reason why not; lots of people marry in the Abbey, royal and not.)

Beatrice might not get the carriage procession, the heads of state, the guards, or the Archbishop of Canterbury, but there's no reason why she couldn't have the lavish wedding Andrew and Fergie will most likely want!

(They wanted a masked ball for Beatrice's 18th and hired a carnival for her 25th; does anyone truly think they'd accept a quiet little wedding in the country?)

Limabeany · August 13, 2013, 12:23:34 PM

Her Majesty requests... the presence of Fergie - Telegraph

Although, the author of this article seems to think St. George's is the most likely venue. Also thinks wedding plans are the reason Fergie was invited in the first place. If it's true, I wonder if we can expect an announcement when the Queen returns to London?

(But if I had my choice, I think I'd prefer to marry in the Abbey; St. George's is lovely but the Abbey has such a sense of history).

Whenever anyone in the RF gets married these days, no one ever seems to consider St. Paul's Cathedral as a possibility? Has it fallen out of favor for some reason?

georgiana996 · August 13, 2013, 01:26:38 PM

I hope its true she will have such a creative dress ..... :D :D
I think there should be a rule that all royals marry in the abbey its perfect :D :yipee: :coach: :coach: :evil:

I think that no one rides In the same car as the queen so there must be an engagement :banana: :computer:

Regal Majesty, The Queen and Beatrice arriving at Balmoral.

Eri · August 13, 2013, 02:04:24 PM

^ I am beginning to think an engagement is a sure thing !!!

Sandor · August 13, 2013, 02:11:58 PM

It just occurred to me that, if the Abbey is out, York Minster would be a wonderful site for a royal wedding! :vday4:
