Royal Wedding: What's your dream wedding location?

Marjo — Tue, 15 May 2018 10:10:18 GMT

Hi all!

It's not long until the Wedding of the Year, so we thought it would be exciting to have a countdown until the big day on Saturday 19th May! We'll be posting one wedding-related topic per day to celebrate the upcoming exciting event and hoping to get some related discussion going.

We have also posted a special update on the Priority board of some related offers to help get people in the Royal Wedding spirit so don't forget to check it out too.

Today's discussion:

What's your dream wedding location?

Or if you already got married, where did it take place?

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Not that I've ever been or wish to be married, but if I was so inclined my dream wedding destination would be Hawaii. Probably Oahu as then we could also honeymoon there. Two for the price of one so to speak 😂🤣

I just googled "Hawaii Oahu wedding" and the pictures look very pretty @Glory1! The beach, palm trees, bright flowers and ocean...

My dream location for a wedding would be...

.... in space! (or alternatively, in some zero-gravity space simulator)

I haven't come up with any more realistic locations yet.

Yes, very nice this time of year....

Now that's a thought @Marjo getting hitched in space.

I would like to experience space travel @Marjo but not sure all the wedding guests would be keen. There is that to consider. And even if you don't want any guests there does have to be witnesses and a man/woman of the cloth to marry you. And what of your hubby-to-be? He mayn't be keen on space.

I mean I chose Hawaii. My husband-to-be would have to be a very wealthy man. A wedding in Hawaii + honeymoon would cost a pretty penny 😲

Yes, silly me, I forgot that little detail @Bambino. Perhaps not a good idea presently 😂🤣

I guess if you’re with the person you love it doesn’t matter where it happens..

I can’t think of anywhere I’d like to get hitched. I guess somewhere memorable that meant something to both of us.

Oh dear me....

Maybe not this year then @Glory1?

I would certainly choose a different venue to the first one.

The church we got married in closed down 10 years ago.

The place we went on honeymoon was my husbands favourite holiday destination in the UK.

It was absolutely awful. I think his memories of it as a child had clouded his judgement a lot.

Yes, we loved each other and still do, but we both look back on that time and laugh. Oh and it rained every single day...

So for me, it would be on a beach far far away. Possibly the Maldives.

Yes I think I'd give it a miss this year at the very least @Cleoriff

Next time I get married I want it to be in an Amazon rain forest with all the ladies wearing a big hat and the men wearing a dicky-bow, everyone completely naked except for thse items.

Just to add that dicky-bows can be worn around the neck...or below the neck

Regarding the actual Royal wedding, it looks as if Meghan Markles father has now decided NOT to attend!

He has been accused of posing for pre wedding photos and accepting money for the pictures

Not what any bride wants to hear 4 days before her wedding.:smileysad:

They are blaming the paparazzi. I just wonder why someone from the Palace didn't take Meghans family under their wing to explain the accepted protocols?

Glory1 — Tue, 15 May 2018 08:18:57 GMT

I agree with you @Cleoriff. But at the same time surely Meghan Markle's father, if the accusation is true, should have had better sense then to accept money for photograps knowing that such behaviour would embarrass his daughter just before the most important day in her life.

And even though I have little respect for the papparazzi, again if the accusation is true, why are the papparazzi at fault? So they offered money for photographs. That's what they do. Doesn't mean a person has to accept the money or pose for the photographs. A bit of common sense should prevail. The papps don't force anyone to take their money. They may offer but you can say no, get lost.

Unfortunately, whatevef the truth may be, this sort of publicity is the last thing Meghan Markle needs just days before her wedding.

Though I've no real interest in another Royal wedding, I feel sorry for her. She's been in the spotlight because she is a 'commoner', because she is mixed race, because she is an actress and now this. It's enough she's marrying into the Royal Family whose lives are dominated by protocol without additional bad publicity regarding her family, true or not

@jonsie... nudist wedding. Amazon rain forest sounds like a great idea!!

Re: Royal Wedding: What's your dream wedding location?

Cleoriff — Tue, 15 May 2018 09:23:43 GMT

So @jonsie....in the nude in the Amazon rainforest and subjecting yourself to this lot?

To date, at least 40,000 plant species, 427 mammals (e.g. jaguar, anteater and giant otter), 1,300 birds (e.g. harpy eagle, toucan and hoatzin), 378 reptiles (e.g. boa), more than 400 amphibians (e.g. dart poison frog) and around 3,000 freshwater fishes1 including the piranha have been found in the Amazon and it's rainforest.

I think I would stay fully dressed on a beach in the Maldives

Look @Marjo Google and I are working overtime here .....

Insect species ...

There are around 30 million insect species in the 6.7 million square kilometer Biome, with thousands of new species discovered there each year. One acre of Amazon Rainforest is estimated to contain as many as 70,000 species of insects (scientists once found 700 different species of beetle on just one tree).

If you scroll down this link you will see 'The 10 coolest insect species' in the Amazon rainforest.

All things being equal...I WILL stick to the Maldives beach...
