Howling:The Wedding of River Song speculation

As we know it, the last episode of Series 6 will be entitled "The Wedding of River Song". Here's the one million dollar question : who is she marrying ?

The first answer that pops into anyone's head is "the Doctor", but it would be too expected... though I'd like to see the Doctor as a Groom, and I'd really like to see the tenth Doctor invited as a guest (as he said once : "I'm rubbish at weddings, especially my own" : maybe he was referring to this one)

Or maybe it will be a metaphorical wedding (as Idris was a metaphorical wife to the Doctor)...

My best guess would be that is the same kind of deal as Idris being "the Doctor's wife." If she is actually getting married then it would be too obvious if it was the Doctor. Besides, they'd probably call it The Wedding of the Doctor if that were the case. If it is an actual wedding, then it will probably be a younger River who isn't involved with the Doctor yet. Unless the Doctor finds her when she's still a child, she will probably end up growing up to be a bad guy for a while, anyway.Icecreamdif 19:09, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, The Doctor's Wedding is one of the alternate names that were considered and not used. But, as always, that could be an intentional leak to mislead everyone, rather than a clue.


 * There's also a rumor that Jack will be in the show this season, playing the best man at a wedding, and what other current Doctor Who character would want him as the best man? However, that rumor is probably false, especially they've already revealed that Barrowman was secretly contacted for this season, but the plan was for Jack to be one of the allies in AGMGTW, and it fell through because of scheduling conflicts with Torchwood.


 * Anyway, the Doctor has married both Queen Elizabeth and Marilyn Monroe off-screen, and Scarlette in a novel, and Patience (possibly twice) both in a novel and in the distant past, and who knows how many others, so maybe it's about time we get to actually see one of these weddings. On the other hand, it would be kind of sad if the Doctor got married and the only people there were his in-laws (especially after the turnout that Benny got for her wedding). --173.228.85.35 02:33, August 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wait... in Let's Kill Hitler, that was the first time River met the Doctor. Meaning... wouldn't that be the last episode with her? I'm confused.

 * It's only confusing if you assume that River's statements about meeting the Doctor in reverse order, his firsts being her lasts and vice versa, are to be taken absolutely literally. In any case, it wasn't the first time River met the Doctor, unless we're being misled about who the girl in the spacesuit was, because she met him in the warehouse, while she was in the suit (and got shot at by her own mother). LKH may, though, have been the first time she met him knowing that he was the Doctor. --2.96.17.180 19:46, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
