Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones: 19 June 1999

[Solange]

I heard that they played "Kiss me" from Sixpence none the richer at their wedding. If that is true could anyone tell when it was played???

Well definitely not at the ceremony. Maybe at special moment during the reception?

I only know that they played the song on the TV Coverage of BBC, since I have the video.
Kind of stupid because there was no kiss but oh well, TV...

Prince Edward to Sophie Rhys-Jones

Hi,

I moved this post from British Royal family stuff. Some asked if you could please identify the two women sitting in the front pew with the British royal family. The two ladies are seated between Prince William and Peter Philips.

I know this photo isn't good, but I hope it'll jog your memory.

The Queen's dress looked very nice.So elegant Her Majesty!
In the invitation of the Wedding, Edward and Sophie have asked the guests not wear hats at the Wedding.Only The Queen Mother attend with a hat.But it's lovely.

Did you see pics of Princess Margaret and Duke and Duchess of Gloucester at the Wedding?I only saw an official photo of Edward and Sophie with guests inside Windsor Castle, and Princess Margaret was there.
And where was Lady Sarah Chatto?Did she attend?

Why did Charles and Andrew in the carriage but The Queen did not?

... the pictures are beautiful but I don't like the wedding-dress at all... and her hair and veil, not stylish!

Did anyone else think that the church ceremony was really boring and bad. They came in,said yes,sing a song....

You can´t compare it to the lovely -prepared wedding in church of WA and Maxima. There were element which it was obvious to see meant very much to the couple but in Sophie and Edward´s case it seemed very cold and standart...

Lots of wonderful pictures of a wonderful day!

Thanks for taking the time to share all these great pictures Mandy.

In many of the pictures you can get a very good look at the necklace and matching earrings Edward personally designed for Sophie and gave to her on their wedding day.

i am not to found of the tiara

They wanted a very simple wedding. The reason why the queen & duke weren't in a carriges was that only the wedding party rode in the carriges. I think it was very nice.
Remember when Prince Edward had problems getting the ring on, some people believed that meant they would have problems but overcome them. I didn't believe it then but now I see how true it was.

Did Camilla come to the wedding?

 

[Nichola]

No, msleiman, Camilla wasn't invited to the wedding.

There was a very select guest-list if I remember rightly - not even politicians were invited. It was strictly family and friends.
