Why On Earth Are Harry And Meghan Marrying On Fa Cup Final Day?

[scooping]

Is it a plot to esnure we all have two TV sets? Barking.

[jourdain2]

Neither am I maggiebee. it is quite possible that the date was chosen so that the pressure would be off the couple and they can have a quieter wedding.

hc - I'm surprised you need planning permission for such a dwelling. Maybe they should now apply and they will get it ...

[hereIam]

^ oops wrong thread - sorry.

Perhaps they're not football fans. It wouldn't have occurred to me either.

[jim360]

I know which event *I'm* more interested in.

Clue: not the football.

[Old_Geezer]

It's probably trying to hide bad news.

[Cloverjo]

It seems a very short time in which to decide to get married. They've only been seeing each other since the summer. Anyway, I hope they have a very happy wedding and marriage. I'm not into football so will probably have a peak at the wedding to see the dress.

[Cloverjo]

Peek, not peak

[jourdain2]

From what I've understood, Harry is very relieved not to be William and very happy to be a very minor royal. Not having a huge, public wedding ties in with this.

[Cloverjo]

He seems a bit desperate to me. He was happy in the Army, which seemed to be very good for him, but his cover was blown. He's said he wants to have a wife and children, and was often hanging around as a gooseberry with Will and Kate.
I don't see this ending well, but I wish him all the best.

The Megster's picked a date and Harry's caved.

It's how young love works.

My Brother got married on FA cup final day 1976 :-(

[albaqwerty]

they've been seeing each other for over a year and a half, according to some newspapers.
they may have been 'knowing' each other for longer than that.
anyhoo, I wish them well

[tonyav]

'knowing'

snigger

[albaqwerty]

pmsl Mr AV, really!!! :-)))))))

[albaqwerty]

you can be a very naughty our kid y'know

now, can I submit since I've finished?

[tonyav]

Ah wench ;-)

[zebo]

Being a lifetime Bolton fan and a part-time Norwich fan I can't see that the FA Cup Final will hold much fascination for me! I'd be happy to be wrong.

May 19th is also the anniversary of the day Henry VIII had Ann Boleyn executed
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have set their wedding date.

Kensington Palace announced on Friday afternoon that the happy couple are to marry on May 19 at St George's Chapel , Windsor Castle.

May 19 is interesting for another reason: it's the same day, in 1536, that Ann Boleyn was beheaded.

[EDDIE51]

Does anyone realise that Harry's brother William is President of the FA? Will he have to miss the match to go to his brother wedding?
