The OP was a question

Ah, yes. And all questions must be answered.
I just looked at the list of thread topics and saw several questions in titles, so I made sure to answer them. All fixed!

 

[Warrigal]

I may catch a glimpse of the newlyweds in October. I have just ordered tickets to watch the wheelchair rugby semi finals and the swimming finals of the Invictus Games in October in Sydney.

The tickets are very reasonably priced at $20 each for pensioners with a $5 donation. I'm not an avid sports fan but I'm very happy to support Invictus.

 

[applecruncher]

Yes, Warrigal, $20 is very reasonable. Hope you enjoy!

I'm thinking it will be spoon fed to us regardless of our interest. Thanks to the main stream media for picking and choosing what should be of interest to the masses (sometimes the m is silent).

Harry and Meghan's Cake will be
Lemon & Elderflower

I've heard of Elderberries but not Elderflower
They're tiny white delicate flowers (the berries are purple)

 

[Raven]

I will watch some of the Royal wedding but will not be up at 4 am when the program starts.

I wonder if her wedding dress has to be approved by the Queen.

 

[Falcon]

Pam, What are "Fairy Cakes" ?

This just in from "The Chew" (tv show)....

Harry and Meghan's Cake will be
Lemon & Elderflower

Elderflowers give a delicate flavour Lara , I used to make a lot of elderflower champagne in my youth, it's sold a lot as a presse in the UK

elderflowers and leaves

​

Made with the lacy, cream-colored flowers of the elderberry shrub (Sambucus nigra or S. canadensis), elderflower champagne is a naturally bubbly, lightly alcoholic beverage with a delicate taste.
Serve it chilled for a unique and refreshing drink on hot summer evenings.

Pam, What are "Fairy Cakes" ?

Similar to cupcakes but smaller and not as heavily decorated.

 

[RadishRose]

Radish Rose, if they are not invited they will get nowhere fast.
Besides the police and security services, Harry & Megan have
a whole regiment of guards, who are all Harry's old service
buddies.



Here are some pictures from Yesterdays rehearsal

Mike.

Thanks for the link to those awesome pics, Mike. Wow, that side of the castle is smack on Main St but well guarded.

I can't fathom the idiocy of people who are not invited spending money for round trip airfare from USA to London then thinking they can sneak in or somehow crash the ceremony/festivities. If it weren't so pathetic it'd be comical.

No kidding. They are probably hoping to cash in on the "family" angle.

 

[applecruncher]

I checked - round trip airfare from a Midwest city in US to London UK is about $1,500. PLUS there's lodging/hotel (if you can find a room), and food, transportation while there. Easily add up to $3 - $4k for one person. I'm guessing most of these wanna-be gate crashers cannot afford to toss that kind of money around.​

 

[Aunt Bea]

It wouldn't surprise me if one of the tabloids or TV gossip shows paid the expenses so they can create some nonsense for the news cycle and capitalize on the wedding.

 

[Falcon]

Geeezze, All that pomp! There was nothing like that at MY weddings !

 

[Aunt Bea]

Geeezze, All that pomp! There was nothing like that at MY weddings !

We're all saving up for the next one!!!

 

[Falcon]

OH! Thank goodness, Aunt Bea.

Meghan is close friends with tennis champ Serena Williams, and actress Pryanka Chopra (sp) from the show Quantico. Both will be there, along with the Clooneys, a couple of Spice Girls...one being Victoria Beckham, her castmates from the show Suits.

I'm wondering about Howie Mandel - Meghan used to be a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal. (but Howie said in an interview he doesn't remember her...oops...well, maybe Howie didn't get invited.)
