I’m sure the anxiety builds around the world, as everyone counts down the days, hours, minutes and seconds to the Wedding Day of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The couple formally announced their engagement on, November 27, 2017, and wasted no time in announcing their wedding date soon after.

The Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan is set to take place on, Saturday, May 19, 2018, which is unprecedented, because most Royal Weddings are held on a weekday. The wedding will begin at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, Windsor, United Kingdom, at 12 Noon. After the ceremony, they will undertake a carriage procession from St George’s Chapel through Windsor town returning to Windsor Castle along the Long Walk. The couple really wants to make the wedding fun and ensure that the public will feel a sense of inclusion. The reception will be held at St. George’s Hall.

In lieu of wedding presents, the couple is asking for charity donations, but wants to focus on charities for HIV, Homelessness and the children of fallen soldiers, just to name a few.

Prince Harry and Meghan will definitely bring a breath of fresh air to the traditional expectations. The public speculates and tries to predict what, if anything will set this couple apart. Will they follow the rules? Will they be Royal Trendsetters, and how will this change the trajectory of the expected Royal “Norm?” It is reported that the couple is breaking from the ceremonial traditions, and injecting a modern flavor of music. Karen Gibson and the Kingdom Choir — considered one of the top ensembles in the country — have been tapped to perform as has 19-year-old cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, who was the first black musician to win the BBC Young Musician of the Year award in 2016. Prince Harry is definitely cut from the the cloth of his late mother, Princess Diana, which was known for, and often frowned upon for setting her own rules.

The initial focal point of everyone except the couple and their families, was the race of Meghan. Meghan is biracial, and was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Her parents are; mother, Doria Ragland, who is African American, and her father, Thomas Markle., who is Dutch and Irish. Meghan’s father was a longtime TV Lighting Director.

There have been sporadic leaks of information about details of the wedding, but what’s a Royal Wedding without a little suspense and speculation brewing in the rumor mill?

Who will design her dress?
Who will perform?
Who’s the Who of Who on the Guest List?
Who will be Meghan’s Bridesmaids?
Will Trump attend? Was he even invited?
Will the Obamas attend?

With great anticipation and excitement, we’ll all have to wait with the rest of the world, to have our burning questions answered…

Do celebrities think they operate above the rim of morals, because they know all will be forgotten and forgiven in a matter of weeks or months, with no further mention or real consequences? After watching the following story unfold, maybe we’re so forgiving, because we’ve seen these stories play out before us, and if the person involved can forgive, then who are we not to? Gabrielle Union tweeted, “The goal is NOT perfection… The goal is to be whole.”

This brings me to:

Breaking News of Dwyane Wade’s Love Child

Dwyane Wade, (3) Miami Heat Guard

Dwyane Wade and his recent news fallout of his love child, Xavier Zechariah Wade, born in November, 2013. Wade confirmed that he did indeed father a son with Aja Metoyer. Wade acknowledged the development to the Sun Sentinel, he said: ‘I had a time, a part in our break, in our pain and our hurt, a blessing came out of it in my life, having a son that was born healthy. So I’m moving on.’ It is reported that Gabrielle had to step away from Wade, when first learning of the news, but they worked through their differences, prior to their engagement! Everyone is weighing in on this story, and as the story continues to unfold, so does more details on who is Aja Metoyer. One thing for sure, she is showing her true colors, and just how messy she really is, by writing this very detailed Letter to Ms. Union.

Wade proposed to Gabby 6 weeks after his son was born, which he enlisted the assistance of his 2 sons and nephew he’s raising. Both contend that the child was conceived during a break the two took from one another, but all roads lead to evidence of a different color. The two were reportedly very much together during conception, but that’s neither here nor there, since they’ve worked through it.

To make matters a bit more interesting, the mother of his child, is also the mother of 2 daughters, fathered by Damon Wayans Jr., the son of Damon Wayans, who issued a brief statement about the mother of his 2 daughters.

Forgiveness, Foolishness or Fate?

Everyone wants to know how Gabrielle would stay with Wade, with all that has transpired. Others say that its karma, because she dated him, while he was still married. Did she forgive him, because she loves him? Is it foolishness for her to think he won’t, or has not continued with his infidelity, or was it really fate? For some reason, we think celebrities are cut from a different cloth than us. At the end of the day, they just have more money and notoriety than we do, but they’re still human. Love is love, pain is pain and we all make mistakes, and cry when our hearts are broken. The difference is, we don’t have our lives played out for all the world to see; and we have all forgiven people for things we aren’t proud of. Some of us have dated people in some very compromising positions, but we get to keep it all under wraps. I will say that it is easy to say what you would or wouldn’t do, if it’s not you in the spotlight.

No matter what decision she ultimately ends up making, it’s still hers to deal with and make. Let me know what you think. Please leave a comment below, and lets chat…
