Dated May 1997 underneath.  That's handy!

Surprising picture coming from someone who cares about privacy as hard as MK. I've always thought that date is a bit banal for a wedding, much like all the "special" wedding dates like 22.02.2022 or something, people pay ridiculous money to register their wedding on dates like that. And a wedding on Valentine's Day? I don't know... It's like dying on the day of the dead.

UPD: I mean it makes sense if it was done by accident!

This wasn't a wedding picture.  I have the same picture which I cut out from a newspaper and it was to celebrate Mark's 48th birthday on 12th August 1997.

But February 14th is still their wedding day, isn't it? Anyway, that's why private life is private, I guess.

Yes, of course, they were married on February 14th 1997, but this picture isn't from then.

Just look at Mark's hair, you can tell it isn't recent. His hair is usually a good guide for dating a photo.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

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.

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.

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!
