Wow what great news to come home from work to. Congraultions to the couple
Have to smile, so many posters were imagining a romantic destination proposal and a royal wedding. Seems they were right, just wrong royal. No African proposal for Meghan, but a Nicaraguan volcano proposal for Eugenie. Sounded so romantic and special. I wonder if it was a New Years proposal, as it said 'earlier this year' and its only January.
Love the ring. I love sapphires, usually the blue (though not liking Kate's color). The ring is beautiful. I love that it isn't simply diamonds surrounding a colored stone like Di/Kate ring or her mother's. But the diamonds almost form a flower, like the sapphire is the center of the flower. I love that Jack also had her help design it.
The couple were simply oozing happiness. Jack was so nervous but he did well considering his first interview. Cant help but be happy for them.
Love that it will be fall. No surprise at St George's. I see someone mentioned All Saints. That wasn't really possible, only seats about 180 adults (225 with kids). Even for a private royal wedding that would be tiny.
Eugenie and Beatrice sadly fall victim to the bad press of their parents. Eugenie being painted like her sister for being a vacationer. It is often ignored that many of the 'vacations' are actually work trips. Like her recent visit to Florida, her art gallery she works for, was doing an art show.
I only hope that the press, and public, and some posters, can allow the criticism of the parents to die, or at least not over shadow the day. Eugenie has made a good life for herself, and despite her choice of fashion at times, has done nothing to embarrass or shame the family.
Love that she chose that dress. And I think that the choice of the gallery was not simply to be 'formal' like William and Kate. I see it as more of a nod to Eugenie's passion for art.
