Yay! I was excited to hear that she's also going to be at the royal Christmas this year. Apparently she and Harry will be staying with Will and Kate at their home and joining in with the festivities at Sandringham, including the pap walk to the church. Can't wait to see the photos!

oh come the EFF on Harry and Meghan! That's like the ONE Saturday I can't sit around and watch and drink champagne (I do a race that morning.)

DAMN IT.

ETA and yes this is all about MEEEEEEE

Cleary the answer is running in a fancy hat and drinking finish line champagne.

I was seriously thinking...."well if I get up at 5, watch the first part, watch her arrive at the church at 6...." that's really the stuff that matters, right? I'll drink a glass for them after it. If I run at all, ha.

I'm assuming it will be the same timeline as Kate and Will's but who knows.

WHY COULDNT IT BE THE FRIDAY BEFORE STUPID NO BANK HOLIDAY.

Shit me too. I thought it was on Saturday, but I just looked it up and it is on Sunday.

Are you both running the same race?  the very flat half?

I feel like that's a location suited for random fancy hat wearing.  Seems like it would fit. 

[bex]

I’m doing the very flat half if I can run again soon-ish. But since I don’t need to leave until 645 to get to the start I should see the good stuff, right?

I like how I am so concerned about the wedding of people I don’t know affecting a race I am not sure I’ll be able to run LOLOLOL

Nope I'm doing the General Smallwood Olympic Triathlon. Although I haven't signed up yet.

I assume that there is a WAY that this is DONE because royals.  Like they couldn't willy nilly decide to have an evening wedding.  right?

no, don't do that one!  Wait two weeks and do Rock Hall the first weekend in June with me and cupcake.  Same people put it on.  It's not as close to you, but...well, I'll make the case anyway.

Oh, yeah, definitely.  as long as they follow the same timeline you'll still get to see the arrival and all that.  Then DVR the rest of it and watch it post race while drinking.  done and done.

Edward (Harry's uncle) and Sophie had a late afternoon/evening ceremony at Windsor Castle.

I guess they could have an afternoon/evening wedding, which maybe they'll do to make the time difference better for people in the US since Meghan is American.

Not impossible, right?

that seems totally legit.  In which case you'll be golden.  wake up, go race, park it on the couch with your post race beverage and watch some royals.

Not impossible.
Especially given she is American and He isn’t direct heir to the throne.

I hope the do morning, better for me in Asia. I also hope a bar here will play it haha.

So tempting! But it's a 2-hour drive from me and a 1hr 30 min drive from my sister's place in Baltimore. I'm already doing like 3-4 weekends away next year and I'm trying not to push his limits too much with solo kid time. 

June is going to be really busy too since we'll be wrapping up baseball, end of the year PTA party (I'm stressed just thinking about it). Also there's a chance I'll be doing a Sprint on June 18.

General Smallwood is an unforgettable name.

that actually took me a second.  there are a few things named for him around here, so it doesn't even ping my 12 year old boy radar anymore.  but yeah now that you mention it...*snicker* smallwood.   

[madDawg228]

I remember having to wake up at 2 am (I'm on the West Coast ) on a Friday to watch the arrival of the guests and the wedding of William and Catherine. I'm happy that Harry's wedding is on a weekend, whatever time it will be.

Oh, I just recorded it and had my BFF over for dinner that night to watch, lol. 

Why a Saturday? Better for watching, sucky for Brits who were hoping for a day off. Maybe because he's not in direct line to the throne they figured his wedding didn't warrant a bank holiday?

Also, Pippa was married on the 20th last year, so its almost her anniversary. She'll probably be invited, right?

[hopecounts]

Another issue, apparently it is FA Final day (soccer cup)
Which is one of William’s patronages and he usually attends.

msmerymac I would say she and her husband are likely to be invited, but not a certainty.

Every time we drove past a "smallwood" sign (there's one out in Garrett County, I think it's a street or something, not sure, but there's a sign for it on 219 by Oakland) - anyway, my H would always do just that.  "smallwood" in a creepy voice followed by a snicker.

Also when we passed the sign for swallow falls.

Come on dude.  we have passed those signs a million times. stop it!

[bex]

I think Pippa will be invited. Harry was invited to her wedding and she also invited MM, and while I don't buy into any of the stupid romance rumors about Harry and Pippa from 2011, they seem to get along well. I also imagine if George and Charlotte are in the wedding she will help with them.

At least it's the weekend after Premier League ends.

William is President of the FA, so that could be a major issue.
