Wow, Harry and Meghan!

I hope Harry keeps his beard - he still has it today. But I’m partial to beards. My husband has always had one and one of my sons has a beard too, kind of like Harry’s. A beard looks good and sexy on the right person!

Here’s a sweet article about American/British couples, in their own words:

Page #10 notes bride will be greeted by her father, Thomas Markle No time for a re-print!

…and in complete break with upper-class/Royal tradition, Harry will also receive a ring

“Page #10 notes bride will be greeted by her father, Thomas Markle No time for a re-print!”

It says it was “published” today so that is odd.

@doschicos That is odd! I missed that…

I predict her dress will be stunning. I love her style! She will certainly breathe some fresh air into the royal family.

Hey, last minute stuff happens and the royal family might want to save a buck just like anybody else ! I missed my older son’s Eagle Scout ceremony because of my mother’s very urgent open heart surgery . Programs had already been printed and involved other kids in a joint ceremony. My son addressed my absence in his remarks and I’m guessing there could be some mention somewhere of the dad’s absence. It’s too bad he can’t be there.

Not a complete break. William does not wear one, but Charles does, and also wore one while married to Diana. It’s below his signet ring on his pinkie, but it is a wedding band.

And it’s certainly not solely a royal tradition. While both female PM’s have worn wedding rings, the last male PM to do so was Harold Wilson.

Charles didn’t want Diana having anything he didn’t have. If she got a ring, he got one too. Certainly wasn’t a symbol of his fidelity.

Charles is no saint but the pressure on him from the day one is something very few people will ever know . I am looking forward to the wedding!

20/20 just started. It’s all about the Royal Wedding.

Ooh, and on site coverage is starting. CNN, at least.

"“Page #10 notes bride will be greeted by her father, Thomas Markle No time for a re-print!”

Published = released. It would have been printed earlier.

I really don’t get British wedding guest fashion choices.

George and Amal Clooney, on the other hand, look stunning.

^ agree. Amal Clooney’s dress and hat are gorgeous - love the color!
