If they have them almost get married but then they don't I think CBC knows they will lose like a third of their viewership. They're not THAT dumb! You really don't need to label credit every time and apparently you've come to that conclusion as well.  Lose a third of their viewership? They may actually trigger World War III and/or Armageddon! D: *rents bunker in Nevada desert* I really should credit every pic, but my typing fingers are getting tired. T_T Also I have a few pics where I lost the credit link.  |

The nearest hotel. Obviously. They couldn't be bothered to wait for the marriage carriage because they had a very pressing engagement to attend to. That's not a very long romantic ride. D: I think the marriage carriage belongs to the Big Wedding that they couldn't attend, but perhaps the Big Wedding graciously allowed them to use some of their resources? Ooooooooh maybe they are off to a very private cabin instead of a hotel?  |

Actually, doesn't this one look like Julia's hair from behind? That would mean they do ride in the carriage. And William wears his top hat! Not so shotgun after all. Then I want a closer look at that dress. Credit: themurdochmysteries.tumblr.com |

That does looks like Julia's and William's head. I just hope they actually get to complete the ceremony without some drama happening. They deserve to get married.

I'm sure they will get married, but I bet there will plenty of hijinks and shenanigans as they do!  Credit: Brian Laufman @ blaufman (on Twitter) |

***SPOILERS**** Just rambling thoughts on yesterday's filming of what appears to be a major wedding.... There were (well-founded) rumours in town last week that MM was going to be filming in C'bridge and then "bang" they were here. We haven't had a decent rain in weeks and weeks so, naturally, the heavens opened up yesterday (no thunder & lightning-one small blessing). Too bad, but if it was the BIG wedding then I've heard rainy wedding days are a good omen.  Pelting rain most of the day should be a REALLY good omen...no?  On the pics...I've seen one of them in a carriage and one with their doubles sitting on a horse. So which is it---both? why? I like the carriage but I don't know about two of them sitting side saddle on a horse. Seems a bit over the top for our William (maybe if it was a white horse and they were on the beach and Julia's hair was loose and ....well you get my drift  ) But hey! that's just me. When I see the actual episode it will all play out perfectly, I'm sure. When they filmed the Sting episode in Brantford last season, fans watched them film the scene where Wm proposed and Julia ran into the house crying. I understand they swore the onlookers to secrecy until the episode aired (don't know what they threatened them with but it seemed to work!) But as far as I can tell they are not overly concerned about all the pics being taken of a wedding yesterday (or whatever was going on last Friday in TO). Maybe the upcoming nuptials for W & J is just too obvious to even try to keep under wraps. I really don't want to see much more on the wedding,though....especially Julia. I'd rather wait for visuals until the episode airs. The comments I've read from people who were downtown watching it play out have said they saw Yannick but no one mentions seeing Helene so not sure if she was there or not. The pic of the back of the carriage after the wedding, it seems to be Helene but could be the stand in..but this William seems to be Yannick and not the stand in that was on the horse. fun fact: they filmed Julia's wedding ceremony to Darcy in C'bridge too. Also, I believe she was also buried alive (briefly) here. Anyway, if Helene ever decides to marry in real life you can probably bet it isn't going to happen here!! |

I'd rather wait for visuals until the episode airs. The white horse image - *le sigh* Any idea why they are filming in that particular city? Is there a setting (church? park?) that's likely? Have any of our theories been confirmed/blown? Also, did you see Julia's dress? From what I saw on the stunt double, I was kind of disappointed. Looked sort of Laura Ingalls Wilder from here.  I was hoping for something closer to Art Nouveau.  If they started out in a carriage, I wondered how they ended up in a horse/side-saddle? Any clue as to where they were headed after the wedding? I think the producers decided to let the discussion flow on this one because it will be a long time until Season 8 airs, and they need to keep fans invested somehow. It's now up to them to somehow keep us talking for half a dozen months.  Credit: CosmicCalvalcade |

Off the top of my head I can think of Who Killed the Electric Car (Wm chasing Pendrick through the streets and to an office door)/ The Filmed Adventures of....some of it filmed at the Farmer's Market/ Stroll On the Wild Side (the bridge, the church in the background. In the early seasons (1-3) many of the downtown street shots were Galt. Its one of the few towns around with a skyline that is still made up of church steeples. Park area, picturesque bridge, big old churches, rambling river. They were here yesterday and in Hamilton today so I'm guessing they were only here for the church shots but they have filmed in a park or two here in the past so your theory might still float. Cambridge Times had a pic or two, a couple are already "out there" but here's the link: Cambridge TimesI wasn't there when they were filming, all I've seen are the pics that are out there. The Julia in the carriage didn't look like she had a veil on her head which is in keeping with what I'd read about 2nd marriages 1902. But there was some veiling floating around so sure what that was. The dress on the lady on the horse didn't look like anything you had picked out but (to be honest) in looking at some real photos from 1902 weddings I didn't have my hopes set too high on the dress!!! No can't tell where they're headed after the wedding. In reality, where they're headed in the pictures wouldn't matter much as the scenes are probably not shot in order. The one with them on a horse looks like they were going down Water Street = nothing in particular to head to that I can think of. BTW, the people leading the horse aren't in MM costume ( the guy thinks he's a cowboy but not a 1902 cowpoke) so probably they are not going to be seen in the filming. Probably means that scene will only be close shots? In the shot of them in the carriage, appears they may be on the other side of the river from the shops, where 3 large churches are congregated. It's a tight shot so hard to tell. The stone houses are common here and in Guelph, etc. so can't pinpoint it from that. Nothing in those pictures suggest they are leaving point A and going to point B. Point B might even be what is being filmed in Hamilton today! Is episode 100 the first one of the season? Since they filmed episode 803 first, then W & J would be married already. Don't know what episode # is the one with the women demanding the vote but Helene hid her ring finger in that pic. Possibly she has the wedding band on for that one? Can't believe this is the second summer break where fans are checking Julia's ring finger!!!  |

Aw bummer about the dress, but at least the wedding is happening! I'm not sure Helene was hiding her ring finger on purpose. She's going to have to work really hard to be hiding that hand the entire filming season. It will be almost as hard as trying to hide Brackenreid. |

Hi everyone. I've just had a chance to read these posts so I will chime in with my two cents worth.
Marriages is Catholic Churches:
There was a big redo of canon law in 1917 called the Pio Benedictine law that tried to justify all the contradictions that existed in the law at the time. I do not know if it changed any laws pertaining to marriage, but today a non Catholic can marry a Catholic in a Catholic wedding. He/She must provide a certificate of baptism and agree to raise any children in the Catholic Church. I know that is not much help with the issue under discussion, but there it is.
I hope to goodness that that bride is not Julia and that is not her wedding dress. What a disaster. Dear Lord! I like the idea someone posted about Julia wearing a gown that was more Art Nouveau in style or even on the lines of a Worth gown. Besides, nothing Julia wears is poofy.
I will happily join the Revolution if William and Julia are not married at the end of Season 8. And I have to say that I disagree that their marriage means the beginning of the end for the series. Their love affair is not the only glue holding the show together. Fans enjoy most of the characters and if the writers are smart they will enlarge the parts of the supporting cast.
I enjoyed the two part episodes "The Black Hand" and that had several arcs including the one about the baseball game and picnic. Why not show George doing whatever it is he does when he's not working. William could even draft him into helping build some contraption or other at his home. What about the Brackenreids? Their marriage could be featured in a few episodes every now and again. That would give us a chance to see Thomas and Margaret at home and maybe with the boys. one episode and we could, it is to be hoped, see Thomas more relaxed and Margaret a little more flirty. I see potential there.
William needs a serious talking to. The man is a bundle of angst. I would like Jasper to tell his big brother a few home truths, because Jasper is so much like William, but I think he just might be a little freer in is attitudes towards sex.
Do those of you in Canada know when S8 will air?
Thanks |

And I have to say that I disagree that their marriage means the beginning of the end for the series. Their love affair is not the only glue holding the show together. I have a feeling Julia will have some issues about raising the children Catholic in a city where Protestants have the best opportunities.  I wish I could have the same optimism you do about the post-wedding series. I'm suspicious because the series is so focused on the character of William Murdoch: as much as the writers tried to interest people in Emily/George the strongest OTP will be the one involving the main characters. A marriage effectively closes that loop. Actually, there's really only one thing the writers would be able to do to revive the show after initial "problems with the marriage" play out, but I'm not going to say it here. because people will kill me. >.> Ps. Thank you for your Catholic research and comment about Catholic doctrine! We really need more expertise on that here! |

William and Julia were a couple for almost all of S3 and most of S6, part of S2 and part of S7. The show still managed to stay as interesting. They were coupley while the crimes went on, it worked. Them being married wouldn't be any different.
Emily and George will be the angsty couple now. W/J will have drama in regards to crimes and probably adopting a child. That's fine with me. The show was stretching believability with all the tricks the used to have them on/off.

The show was stretching believability with all the tricks the used to have them on/off. I agree the writers were running out of tricks to keep William and Julia apart, and it couldn't go on.  Credit: Brian Laufman (@ blaufman on Twitter) But the "unresolved sexual tension" (UST) and defense of the OTP is a lot of what keeps the shipper contingent engaged. Once the OTP is married, the shipper army can put down their swords, go home and take a nap. Or become wandering knights errant and find an OTP of another show to depend. William and Julia will no longer be in peril. Emily/George cannot replace William/Julia as the angsty couple because George is not the main character carrying the series (William is), and Emily/George, IMHO, will never be as compelling as a couple. The writer's tried to throw them together, but I think the attempt failed. I do agree with you that there will be marriage drama (Nothing too Good for a Cowboy showed some of that) and probably some infertility/adoption drama). However, shippers thrive on the battle of getting their OTP together. Which means...William and Julia are going to have to be separated at some point, probably tragically, please don't kill me.

Pelting rain most of the day should be a REALLY good omen...no? 
) But hey! that's just me. When I see the actual episode it will all play out perfectly, I'm sure. 
I was hoping for something closer to Art Nouveau.
