OMG her hair!! I thought this has to be a nightmare, surely Julia would not want to be seen dead with that hairstyle. Maybe it came undone during their horse ride to the church and Emily had to hastily put it back up again?  But...but...William is supposed to sweep Julia away on the black horse AFTER the wedding!  |

I totally disagree with that. \ He also knows how deeply William loves Julia so he found a way to allow a valued member of his flock to have his faith and his love. From the priest's POV it was probably reassuring to see Julia wanting to embrace that part of William. When Julia went into the church she only had the most superficial understanding of Catholic faith. When she looked at the windows, she began to get a bad vibe. That's when she came at the priest with her fears and suspicions. The priest was extremely reasonable the whole time. You raise a good point that he might have been most concerned that she would take William away from the Church, and he wanted to alleviate that concern by making sure she appreciated his faith and wouldn't try to convert him to another religion or nag him into atheism. I agree the priest was extremely reassured by the fact Julia wanted to understand William's beliefs rather than tear them down. When did "she come at the priest with her fears and suspicions?" In their first meeting Julia asked about the possibility of a wedding in the church and he asked her to think about why a belief in God is important. Yes, the windows gave her a bad feeling but the meeting seemed very cordial. During the second encounter, in the organ loft of all places, Julia did express an anger towards God for allowing abuse and mental illness and the priest called her on it. To me that is opinion, not fear and suspicion. Am I missing something? |

But uh, there's a panel afterwards too...so I'm pretty sure it's for discussing The Murdoch's honeymoon in great detail.  Japan!  |

Would William even think about talking to his priest? He assumed the wedding wasn't going to take place in his church there would be no reason to see the priest. He was genuinely surprised that Julia had made that sacrifice for him, he'd assumed that, once again, he'd be the one making sacrifices. She was referring to talking to the priest in confession. William does seem to still do that, especially when he's feeling confused or morally challenged on an issue. Julia's attitudes challenge him. I think he does check in at confession while he's struggling to adjust. Agreed about William's surprise over Julia's sacrifice. He was so touched. Adorkable.  |

I agree, virgin or not, there's a lack of experience. Perhaps William will be a bit "rusty" when it comes to the Wedding Night. I wonder if Julia is anticipating this in any way...? I'm sure she must be. If they haven't been together since she left Darcy she has to know he probably hadn't been with anyone whilst she was engaged/married to Darcy. With the possible exception of Anna but would Julia expect him to go with Anna if he hadn't been with her? I have to admit I don't think anything happened between them since TGM so as far as Julia knows he's not been with anyone since she met him. There was a lot of quack medicine at the time. I wonder what the equivalent of viagra was? And I wonder who is more worried: William or Julia? |

I've decided not to get my squee on that the real wedding will absolutely take place in the next ep until I see it actually happen. I'll channel that and dress for that but I'm definitely going to wait and see. Once it happens tho, I'm a gonner !!! Oh whew! I would hate to think of William having to run away from his real wedding hahaha. I'm sure the real wedding will happen - don't worry! CBC would not send out the invites if it wasn't going to happen. I have a feeling the dress/hair won't change though.  They're going to make us wait through multiple nightmare scenarios before the real wedding during the last 5 minutes. I'm working the theory that each nightmare dress gets better until the beautiful real one at the end. |

The look on William's face was so priceless. He's used to being constantly pulled forward by Julia. Now she's acknowledging the importance of tradition for him. He's speechless! He's probably full of love for Julia at the minute. He probably wants to take her in the confession box. Why not? It's been the location of so many lurid confessions!Maybe after they are married. William is a man of principle after all. |

I seem to have deleted the post this was in reference to. It was about talking about the wedding and how William didn't think of talking to the priest ... or some such thing. My memory isn't what it should be. |

I always suspected that the snort was in frustration at his obtuseness. Dumb boy-you're lucky so cute! And let me just buy you your electric castle so we can get on with making whoopie. |

I can't find it now, but I'm not imagining a discussion we had about multiple wedding scenarios, right? Wasn't there an article about it somewhere? I think it may have been pics from season 8, but I can't find the thread now. |

To me that is opinion, not fear and suspicion. Am I missing something? Nope I think we're just looking at that scene where Julia "expresses her anger" in different ways. I think she feared the affect that belief had on William - but as you say, the priest called her on it. |

I wonder what the equivalent of viagra was? And I wonder who is more worried: William or Julia? I think William. I think she suspects something may be up, but she's got some contingencies planned.  After having dragged out details from George about what had happened during his bachelor party, Julia learned of the belly dancer Anadia, and contacted her. After having a few short lessons, and quickly having a harem costume of her own made, Julia had a wedding night surprise that he would never suspect. |

You were replying to FallenBelle - she was mainly talking about the wedding venue, but in passing she also replied to my comments about confession, which made it confusing. |
