ROYAL WEDDING 1999 - Edward & Sophie (4 of 8)

[reneecalling]

Any reason why Sophie put the ring on Edward's pinkie finger rather than his ring finger?

[wenglishsal]

@reneecalling It's a Royal thing??? Charles had his wedding ring placed on his pinkie finger by Diana and I believe Andrew had his placed on his pinkie by Sarah... I think it dates back to Medieval times but I have absolutely no idea why they do it??? Cracking wedding though eh!!! Regards from Wales :0)x

[reneecalling]

@wenglishsal Yes, you could be right. Well, at least it has my curiosity up. I'll look into. And yes, the wedding was fantastic.  I could remember Charles and Diana's wedding as it were yesterday. Greetings from Los Angeles, CA USA

Rumor has it that Sophie and Diana never got along. Sophie felt Diana a bit of a pill.

[PthaloGreen2]

Speaking of rings, Edward seemed to have a bit of trouble getting the ring onto Sophie's finger! Ouch! Had to really wiggle it on there.

You have to wonder what Charles and Andrew were thinking during that prayer asking God's blessing that the covenant be kept with faithfulness and that no (man) (woman) would put it asunder.

wrong finger misses :P

[FoxyStealth]

It's so sad that the Prince barely even looked at his beautiful bride. Looks like he considers her barely tolerable. So depressing. I wonder why.

[faithoffaith]

@FoxyStealth he has looked at her a few times, I think he was thinking about her all the way through though.

[cyberlucy]

@FoxyStealth I don't know. To me he looks like this is very important to him. They seem quite happy together as a couple.

[QueenlySweetpea]

Wonder why the wedding ring is placed on his pinkie finger ??

[FoxyStealth]

@QueenlySweetpea I saw this on "Young Victoria"'s Prince Albert also. I wondered the same thing.

[msangelicarod]

@QueenlySweetpea He's royal...why its the pinkie is still a mystery, but yeah theyve got it on that fingr instead

[WC3POchannel10A]

I wish it could be King Edward and Queen Sophie someday.

[jroldan4]

At least a normal couple in the Windsor family.

If you pay attention, you can listen the Archbishop telling them what to do in a very low tone of voice. "put your right hands together" ;-)

[blackaristo]

that was sweet.  I liked the Archbishop of Norwich!

[nauort23]

Every bride should look at her groom the way Sophie looks at hers at 5:25... or maybe she was smiling because he was singing the wrong verse! She keeps the lowest profile of the Queen's daughters-in-law, but I think she's the prettiest.

[bunnyluv41]

Yes, Sophie is the prettiest, since Princess Diana.

[denni2579]

:-) he knew the words inside out.. it was she who was stumbling :-) poor thing..

[ttiiyy]

@nauort23 even prettier than Diana?

[WeeeWriter]

@ttiiyy She's pretty but not prettier than Diana. Diana had a special light about her that could not be duplicated.

[ttiiyy]

@WeeeWriter How did Prince Charles meet Diana anyway? Was the marriage arranged?

[wenglishsal]

@ttiiyy ... Hello there, Charles originally was 'going out' with Diana's big sister, then Diana had developed a crush on him and started to attend the Polo matches and caught his eye, the big plus for all involved was that Diana was a virgin and also of 'noble stock'.... Regards from Wales :0)x

[ttiiyy]

@wenglishsal What do you mean noble stock?

I apologize if this sounds gross, but was Diana really horny? Based on what you said, you're essentially saying that Diana was trying to sedue Charles even though she knew that he's fucking her sister? That does not make sense to me. I thought Diana was better than that.

[wenglishsal]

@ttiiyy .... Oops you really have got the 'wrong end of the stick', English langugage really does confuse...

What I meant by 'nobel stock', is the fact that Diana's liniage or 'blood lines' can be traced back generations..

Without trying to sound to crass... It's almost line looking at the 'breeding lines' of a Stud Mare or Stallion... People who breed them want the best and will study form, bone structure etc.

The fact that she also loved Charles was a bonus too.. Regards from Wales :0)x

[ttiiyy]

@wenglishsal @wenglishsal

Are you a native speaker?

A) Everybody's LINEAGE can be traced back generations. What are you talking about? You mean some of her ancestors were related to the royal family?

B) There's no doubt in my mind Charles loved her body (who wouldn't). I just found it surprising that Diana would be interested in Charles even though she knew that he fucked her own sister a few times. I guess Diana was affected by her own hormones. Charles was kind of a stud :P

[wenglishsal]

@ttiiyy I obviously I have made some spelling errors which have peaked your interest, YES I am English/Welsh and proud to be so, as to your use of profound language, I am assuming you are under the age of 30...

My grandmother abhorred bad language and bad manners so i shall dissist from conversing with you as it is not pleasant to read... My very best wishes to you for your life and happiness... :0)x
