Another day, another Meghan Markle update. Just the other day she was reportedly fucking with tradition by wanting her mum to walk her down the aisle, and now Megs is apparently shaking up stuffy royalists with her wish to have a maid of honour at her May 19 nuptials.
HOW DARE.
You might be thinking “Wait, weren’t Pippa Middleton and her highly-publicised butt Kate’s maid of honour? What’s the big drama?”
Well, you common plebs, I’m here to school you on UK wedding traditions. I’m an expert, actually, having researched them for several minutes while preparing this story for you.
See, in Old Blighty the role is a chief bridesmaid, but according to Us Weekly Markle is insistent that she has a maid of honour, which is American convention.
A source told the outlet that the 36-year-old is determined to stick to her guns when it comes to wedding decisions.
The day of the wedding itself will certainly hold a few unconventional surprises. Don’t expect a royal wedding by numbers. They want to involve their friends and family as much in as much as possible throughout the day. Expect a few American touches too. She’s not picked a chief bridesmaid, she’s chosen a maid of honour.
There’s been mucho speculation about who her maid of honour will actually be – for what it’s worth, Us Weekly is predicting either Markle’s best friend (and stylist! How handy) Jessica Mulroney, while also throwing actress Priyanka Chopra into the mix.
Personally, as a Suits fan, I’d love to see Sarah Rafferty get the job.
Donna and Rachel 4 eva.
