Meghan Markle has surprised everyone by wearing a wedding dress designed by Givenchy's Clare Waight Keller after months of speculation liking her to other designers, such as Erdem. The bride-to-be stunned onlookers this morning as she stepped out of her car wearing the classic silk gown in pure white with a 15st veil embroidered with flowers of the Commonwealth, after predictions she'd chosen a heavily beaded gown. The veil is made from silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers in silk threads and organza, while the look was completed by a Cartier bracelet and earrings and a Queen Mary diamond bandeau tiara, loaned to her by the Queen, prompting proud Prince Harry to tell his bride: 'You look amazing'.

A $34 million ceremony — $30 million of which was just for security.

They should have eloped!

Charles and Diana had a marriage for show.

And they screwed right around each other.

A marriage for the sake of appearances, isn’t a marriage at all.

Our expectations about marriage have been greatly lowered.

The first part sounds Christian
Curry was the global voodoo

[jmacusa]

Yeah, me too. I can’t believe she had the nerve to wear white.

[4yearlurker]

It would have been nice if they could have used some of that money to help keep the little boy alive in a British Hospital. (sorry,I cant remember the boys name.)

[goldstategop]

If the prince had been gay, same ceremony.

Husband and wife as terms have lost all meaning.

[jmacusa]

In the Upstairs/Downstairs world of British aristocracy Markle is the back stair wench.

There’s a perfectly good Stuart, a Bavarian Duke with nothing to do. A direct descendant of Charles I who could be used to replace these low-rent German nobodies - the Windsors (Saxe-Gotha, etc). He’s got to have better sense and decorum then the current crew. (I know he’s Catholic, but London is worth COE service!)

[Lopeover]

There are a lot of people between Harry & the throne. They are the Duke & Duchess of Sussex.

Of course white represents purity but today’s generation of leftists, and you don’t get anymore to the left than Harry, ignore tradition and do what they feel like doing. Having an American leftist Episcopalian “bishop” ramble on about social injustice in America was a slap in the face to the real
Angelican church in England. The US Episcopal church sold its soul to the devil years ago and are an embarrassment to faithful Christian religions.

I didn’t watch too much so I probably missed the chicken entrails. I hope they will be happy and that she won’t be hounded to death by paparazzi.

[Kudsman]

I thought white represents purity.

In the age of self identifying (pretending), she can be pure again if she wants to be. Meanie. ;-)

[MountainWalker]

I find this infatuation with royalty disgusting, frankly, and it seems to break along gender lines. Thank God women weren’t running the country 240 years ago.

[ronniesgal]

I’m pretty sure he already knows.

[goldstategop]

She gave up her career to marry into British aristocracy.

Wonder how long it will be before the bloom wears off...

[fso301]

I can’t imagine this union lasting more than 5 years.

There are a lot of people between Harry & the throne. They are the Duke & Duchess of Sussex.

As long as Meghan doesn't know this, I'm sure they'll live happily ever after.

[EEGator]

“The times have changed.”

Yes, for the worse...

My wife had this wedding on this morning and I said: "what is this,the Disney Channel?"
