MK and DS pictures

[jbaent]

Just look at Mark's hair, you can tell it isn't recent. His hair is usually a good guide for dating a photo.

Between GH and STP for sure.

Lol I never even said it's a wedding picture, I just said it seems banal to me to set the wedding day on Valentine's Day, but it's private life so whatever. But his wife also presumably a huge fan of "twiddly bits" in Sultans, so it all makes sense.

As far as I recall, Bicknell said "MK was a romantic", related to the wedding date, when the piece of news about his wedding was post on MKNEWS site in 1997, so it always looked for me like it was MK's idea.

I also think that is weird they put on their social media a picture of their wedding, even being their 25th anniversay, I think that's private life after all.

That is a wedding picture, but not necessarily from the wedding itself. Looks like one of those pictures a photographer takes from they after or before the wedding.

They got married in Barbados on Valentine´s day as far as I remember. I also remember pictures from newspapers of them in that Island, walking by the beach.

Yes, you're right.  I was looking at the photo again and I'm sure it was taken shortly after the wedding in Barbados and the newspaper used the picture for Mark's 48th birthday in August.   In any case, Kitty was 6 months pregnant in August and she doesn't look as though she is in the picture.   The description I have of the wedding is that Kitty wore a white lace gown and Mark wore a cream suit.

I remember the pictures walking by the beach and she didn't look pregnant either.

Maybe that picture they just released was taken months before the actual wedding, that's usual.

No, she wasn't pregnant in February, but she would have been in August if the picture was taken for Mark's birthday.  So it had to have been taken shortly after the wedding.

This is what the newspaper says:

MARK'S BACK HOME WITH NEW BRIDE

"Dire Straits guitarist, Mark Knopfler, sports a City wideboy pin-striped suit to step out with new wife Kitty Aldridge.

The couple were celebrating Mark's 48th birthday in London.  It was their first night on the town since their honeymoon.  The millionaire rock star and third wife Kitty married on Valentine's Day in Barbados."

Newspapers!  - You can't believe a word they say!

A friend of mine was pregnant recently and up until the 8th month, nobody would notice it. She even posted pictures and all! So I guess it depends. Anyway, that situation perfectly demonstrates that you do not want to know anything about the private life of your idols. In Russia, we have a saying that basically reads "everybody's masturbating as he wishes", no sexual context here, it just means that everybody lives their private life as they wish and nobody needs to comment on it, though it also means you don't want to announce it either...

In that regard, I think, my philosophy is pretty close to Englishmen with their extreme views on privacy.

Closest what you'll ever gonna get to Dire Straits reunion. But wait a minute, with Mark and John on stage this WAS Dire Straits reunion. But they had no balls to call it that, and went with Mark Knopfler and Friends instead, as if he had pints of beer with them on stage and not played music together.

[dustyvalentino]

MK did call it a DS reunion, but only afterwards. For a few years after when he would get the inevitable reunion question he would say they already did it for charity.

In the end Dire Straits was MK JI AC and GF but AC was not at those charity concerts. Why was that?

[dustyvalentino]

Ask MK. Really Dire Straits was whatever he decided it was.
