Boris

It's being reported that Boris Johnson has married Carrie Symons today in a secret ceremony in Westminster...

Mind you, the story is in the Sun so it will need verification

Perhaps he could resign and spend more time with his family now?

Re: Boris

They'll be divorced by the end of the year, no doubt. Boris doesn't do long term.

Boris Johnson has reportedly married Carrie Symonds today at Westminster Cathedral in a ceremony planned in strict secrecy, according to newspapers.

The pair are said to have exchanged vows in front of a small group of close friends and family, the Mail on Sunday and the Sun newspaper have reported.

The ceremony had been planned for six months and a handful of church officials were involved in the preparation, according to the Sun.

The 30 guests invited, the maximum number under current lockdown restrictions, are said to have been informed only at the last minute.

Shortly after 1.30pm, staff at the cathedral told visitors to evacuate as the building was going into lockdown.

A limousine transporting Symonds, 33, arrived at the piazza outside the main west door.

The ceremony was reportedly carried out by Father Daniel Humphreys who had baptised Wilfred last year.

A Downing Street spokesperson would not comment on the reports when asked by the Guardian.
Surprise, surprise .....

Re: Boris

The Church:



Westminster Cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales. It is the largest Catholic Church in the UK and the seat of the Archbishop of Westminster.

Westminster Cathedral is the 50th largest church in the world in terms of interior area (5,017mē), seating up to 3000 people. It is the 38th largest Catholic Church in the world in terms of interior area.

The site on which the cathedral stands in the City of Westminster was purchased by the Diocese of Westminster in 1885, and construction completed in 1903.

It's ..... unusual .....

Re: Boris

So many people would ask:

How can divorced people get married in a Catholic church?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...Cathedral.html

The Roman Catholic church does not allow divorcees to be married in its churches.

But there are a couple of ways divorced non-Catholics can remarry in an official venue.

Catherine Pepinster, Catholic author and broadcaster, explained that as Boris Johnson was himself baptised a Catholic but married previously in non-Catholic settings, the church did not recognise his previous marriages.

She said: 'As far as the Church is concerned, this is his first marriage. They don't need to be annulled. They didn't happen, according to Roman Catholic canon law.'
That's religion for you .....

Re: Boris

Symonds is Catholic Boris is now Anglican (was once Catholic but changed faith). Symonds is not divorced as far as I know. If you are Catholic and the other partner has a different faith then I think you can marry providing you promise to bring children up in the Catholic faith. They don't recognise his marriages as valid as they were not Catholic marriages. Apparently though according to reports Boris has returned to his Catholic faith. Their child was baptised Catholic. I'm very surprised to learn all this.
