Is the Wedding of River Song valid?
Amy is sad because she killed Madam Kavorian, but River told her not to feel bad because it was an ‘Aborted Timeline’
River and the Doctor were married in that aborted Timeline.
So is their marriage still official? Annulled? Does it only apply to Time-lord weddings? Valid in any timeline - aborted or not?
Plot hole?
Lying?
I love the River/Doctor but that made me wonder…

Moffat and Alex both raise those questions in DWC with the implication that more will be revealed in the next series, probably at Trenzalore.

I don’t think it counted, but possibly they do get married in his future. she is close to the end of her timeline when talking to Amy…

good point.. but river did say in the correct time line when rory asked about the doctor still being alive “ofcourse im sure, im his wife” ?

flutenik answered:
Or River is just trying to make Amy feel better by making timey wimey excuses, lying, etc.

Depends on what they want to do with it, I imagine. Since they all seem to refer to it, I imagine they’ve chosen to still acknowledge it.

I don’t think it was a real wedding - it’s implied that that’s when he tells her his name, and that hasn’t happened yet.

Technically no but she said she was his wife. if the characters assume that I think it is more important.

I don’t really get the sense of emotional attachment on 11’s part - if my man had told me “i don’t want to marry you” and “you embarrass me” and looked at me with the disdain 11 looked at river in that scene — I would have called off the wedding XD

i-believe-in-jim-moriarty answered:
Well I think it will still apply because they remember it and to them it’s more of the emotional attachment rather than the legal attachment

kilodalton answered:
Well, aborted timeline PLUS the fact that she technically married the Teleselecta. I Moffat designed the marriage with huge loopholes XD
