That would make sense of the hotel manager's weird quip. It'd also make their lovey-dovey stuff in the car and at the hotel more understandable if they'd just got hitched on the beach.
Imagine the car ride and the whole "do you like the view" and OHMSS soundtrack malarkey coming directly after a short beach wedding scene.
It'd also make better sense Bond's "my family" quip in a way.
If you put a short wedding scene there, there's so much that falls into place. Not least the use of We Have All The Time in the World in the soundtrack (as well as Bond's use of the phrase). How often have we read people on here say "that tune didn't fit there, it's from another movie". Well, if they'd just gotten married it would have completely belonged, as the movie would even feel like a proper, direct homage to OHMSS. Even the stretch of road they're driving down looks just like the road from OHMSS, except they're driving the other direction, (which in itself could be a subtle wink; in this movie, Bond's bride survives, and Bond dies).
It can't be any coincidence the OHMSS music kicks in just as they're driving down that stretch of road that so closely mirrors the road in OHMSS.
The other thing that always felt 'off' about the pre-credit sequence, was Bond seeming to want to get the both of them shot to shit in the DB5 in the square. I've said before on here, it didn't ring true. Just because his girlfriend lied to him, he's willing to not fight back? I can imagine the scene would play better if Bond had just married her, and his new life was now in tatters. It'd have greater weight I think.
I'm also wondering that if a marriage was part of the plot, this would explain the shot of the phone hanging off the hook, and the CCTV shot of the church that we briefly see after the graveyard explosion?
If there was a wedding scene, and it was deleted, I think they'd have most likely done it because the pre-credit sequence was already quite complex. They didn't bother rectifying the 'wife' line by the hotel manager because it could be explainable as an assumption on his part.
That's not something you could do with Moonraker!
Part of let us believe Madeline was a trater.
This go far back to QOS where possible first plan Camile mabey turm out a trater, before Eon whant to use Spectre again and move some idea's to Madeline
Camile rising (like a snake) that let us believe Camile mabey return (as trater).
And Skyfall showing us this with twins girl in the main title (seem more then two two examples)
Also possible Lucia have been a trater. And it have been element of Mr White words in QOS about Vesper haven't died then there have Bond too. Once you are married with Spectre (Quantum) you are from us.
It's best not to ask!!
But just to say, this place wouldn't be the same without him!!
Well, that's for sure. Balje is an MI6 Community legend.
Thank you very much. That is kind of you to say, @Mendes4Lyfe. And I agree with what you say about @Thunderfinger and @Birdleson. They're both much missed as participating members on here. I hope they will both return at some point.
