I missed hearing about Tina Turner's

[roody]

marriage because I get my news at DU. I'm so glad a friend mentioned it in passing while talking about Oprah's purse saga.

[unblock]

1. whose purse does she wear?

sorry, couldn't resist

[KT2000]

2. do you happen to know if

Matt Damon attended?

[Samantha]

3. The dress, the man she married and other details

http://tinaturnerblog.com/tag/wedding/

I could only think "WOW" when I saw the dress. For some reason, I wanted to cry at the good news but could not figure out why. She has been with her current partner for 27 years; perhaps it took her that long to work up the nerve to marry again after what happened to her in her earlier marriage.

If there is one person who really deserves a happy marriage, I think it might be Tina Turner. And once again, WOW, look at that dress.

PS some photographer had the nerve to get his or her hands on a drone and attach a camera to it to acquire some pictures. Fortunately, the plan was derailed.

8. I think Tina is one of the most beautiful woman

I have ever seen. And her voice.

[Samantha]

24. She is a truly beautiful woman

with an exceptional voice and ability to entertain. They may love her in Switzerland, but I do not doubt there is an overwhelming amount of love for her here as well. May she find exceptional happiness in her marriage and the rest of the days of her life. I think I am starting to sound like a soap opera, so I will sign off now....

But again, that dress, that dress.

11. Wow! That IS one heckuva dress! It looks like a fun dress,

but also age-appropriate. It's a beautiful dress for a beautiful bride.

[roody]

12. Thank you!!!

[Samantha]

25. My pleasure

It makes me feel good to talk about Tina Turner and the tremendous music she gave us and the fine example she set for women everywhere. Thanks for posting this.

14. Well, well look who was invited and attended.

It's none other than Trudi Götz, the lady that owns the racist handbag shop that gave Oprah so much grief!

Doesn't that seem odd.

[Isoldeblue]

17. Wow, she renounced her US Citizenship!

On January 25, 2013, it was announced that Turner had applied for Swiss citizenship and would renounce her US citizenship.[132][133] In April, she undertook a mandatory citizenship test which included advanced knowledge of the German language and of Swiss history; she passed without problems. On April 22, 2013, she was issued a Swiss passport and is now a citizen of Switzerland.[134]

20. Her new husband is

no slouch, either! I love a man with a square jaw.... except for ones who talk to empty chairs. Used to, but no more. That guy I despise...............

I've always admired the heck out of Tina Turner since the '70s', as a strong woman, first and amazing talent, second.

4. Good for her, I hope, but this isn't news. n/t

[justiceischeap]

5. After seeing "What's Love Got to Do With It" a million times

I always expect Tina Turner to look like



Angela Bassett.

[roody]

26. I adore Angela's muscular arms. nt

16. That's only because it mentioned drones.

[Isoldeblue]

21. You crack me up, Rug....

[tabasco]

7. She is a treasure.

They love her in Europe - they have good taste.

9. "Rocket 88" Ike Turner plays the "first rock and roll song.

A bad guy, an abuser, but a great song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Gbfnh1oVTk0

[reformist2]

10. Such important topics being discussed tonight! ;)

[roody]

13. Tina gave up her US citizenship. Nt

[Isoldeblue]

22. Who could blame her?

I would if I could live elsewhere in the world.

I get real heart burn over the phrase, "God Bless America".

Why?????

Why should He?

What have we done that it so more special than another country???

How arrogant in having that elitist, entitled attitude!!

It's just vile hypocrisy, this egotistically, false patriotism.

Especially, when blacks have felt more equal and more comfortable in Europe than their own home country, since the 50s', when many AA musicians and artists immigrated to Paris. That's really sad..........
