To celebrate her Diamond Jubilee (60 years as monarch), Queen Elizabeth has been traveling on an official tour of the United Kingdom. While in Manchester on Friday, she and Prince Philip were attending a luncheon at the Manchester Town Hall. In an adjacent room, John and Fraces Canning were exchanging vows in front of a minister.
When the Cannings first realized that they would be sharing the venue with the royals—upon booking their nuptial ceremony—they sent a “lighthearted letter” to Buckingham Palace inviting the Queen to attend. Their invitation was politely declined, so when the rose-clad Queen appeared at their ceremony they were completely shocked.
“The Queen spoke to us by our first names. She said I looked lovely and she wanted to wish us all the best for the future,” Frances Canning told The Sun.
Some celebrity wedding crashers may be well received, like the Queen in this case and Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez at a wedding in Malibu. However, other newlyweds resent the intrusion, as was the situation when Russell Brand crashed an Indian wedding in London.
What about you SodaHeads? Would you want a celebrity to crash your wedding?

Yes
+10Why not? That was a nice thing for the Queen to do. I admire her for that. More leaders should make time to visit their people like that, in everyday situations, when their agenda allows.
...but then,..so is "The Queen" .. ha-ha.
It appears this couple took the lessons to heart and it paid off.
Hey folks, you sure you want to be famous?
*Edit* So no one misinterprets my meaning, I see nothing wrong with what happened here... they invited her.
However, I don't know that I would want the media circus that accompanies celebrities.
My "no" isn't because they are celebrity, but because of the media that have no respect for anyone except their next paycheck.
In this case.
Women: hi
Queen : hi
Man beside the women: (thinking) get the hell out of here
I wrote the "Queen MOTHER", not the Queen. Actually, you also wrote "Queen Mother", but methinks, ya wench, that thee doth not know about whom thee writes.
The Queen Mother is (was) the mother of the present Queen. Which in this case is QE2's Mum, who passed away ten years ago. When she was alive, she was also called the Queen Mother, but she was not the Queen, because the monarchy was passed to QE2 from her father, George VI.
Here is an article about the Queen Mother:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
But you, my dear ignorant and haughty excuse of a human, started the insult thread, and seem to be having a hard time of it.
Can't take it, eh? Well if you can't take it, then I suggest you start to learn some tolerance and manners, something which you seem to be lacking.
And go ahead and continue to be ignorant, don't read the article and find out the difference between the Queen and the Queen Mother.
It's up to you.
