- Mrs. Hughes understandably disagrees with Mr. Carson on where they should hold their wedding reception. Carson wants it to be in the Great Hall of Downton, but Mrs. Hughes does want to feel like a servant on their wedding day. The night before the wedding, Mrs. Hughes and Cora have a misunderstanding over a coat, but later on, Cora gives a sincere apology about her behaviour and gifts Mrs. Hughes the coat. Mrs. Hughes and Carson finally get married and hold their reception at the schoolhouse.
From Season 6 Episode 3: Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Carson disagree on where their wedding reception should be held. Lady Mary reassures Carson that their reception will be held in the Great Hall of Downton, causing trouble between him and Mrs. Hughes, who doesn’t want to feel like a servant on her wedding day. Later, Mrs. Hughes and Cora have a misunderstanding over one of Cora’s coats, resulting in Cora losing her temper. Later Cora apologises and gifts Mrs. Hughes the coat. Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes have their wedding at St. Michael and All Angels Church and their reception and the School House.

Mrs. Patmore ordered from Wish 😂😂😂
hahaha best comment
Hahahahhahahahah
LOL! That was my thought when I saw this episode!
You win -LOLOL!!! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 you can say that again
More like Craigslist 😂😂
Mary: "You think I'm a bully, I think you're a snob."
Says the biggest bully and snob in the room! 😂
So typical of Mary. I really can't stand her.
Right? Cora is the LEAST snobbish member of her family, with perhaps the exceptions of Tom, Isabel and the children
Can't help admiring Mrs Hughes 's gentleness and tact while explaining her wedding plans to the Crawley family! A really fantastic woman in everything!
Me too. I couldn’t deny Mrs. Hughes anything she really wanted. She’s such a hard worker and good person.
I love how Cora didn’t let Carson speak for Mrs. Hughes. She wanted to her her opinion.
Me too best wedding 💒 planner ever Lady Cora
She was once a bride too!
I loved the scene of Mr Hughes explaining to the family why she didn't want to get married in the house. You can see a look of admiration on Roberts face. 💕
The scene of Carson alone in his room (8:47) on the eve of his wedding at as he strokes his bed knowing that - after so many years - he’ll no longer be alone is so touching.
Wow. I never made the connection on why he did that. Awwww
It’s also kinda sad that 50-60 years of his life literally fit in one suitcase cos all he needs his uniform for most of the day. The life of service.
He's married in real life to Dolorous Umbridge. 😬 I don't care how nice she is in real life, she makes me cringe.
@@baskervillebee6097 What? What makes you cringe, the fact she's marvellous actress? What's more, she's so fantastic you can't say difderence between her being the actress and her being the human?
@@baskervillebee6097
Forget about Harry Potter.
Imelda Staunton us one of Britain's best actresses !
I dare you to watch her perform in "Cranford", "Pride", "The Crown", "Downton Abbey 2" and "Vera Drake".... 👍
This bedroom scene and Cora's subsequent apology were written to show two sides of the British aristocracy...Cora apologized but her quick and harsh statements to Mrs. Hughes epitomized the attitude of the upper classes at that time...."I can be your friend but don't cross the line".
Friend? I think not. Acquaintance, yes.
Oh and how would you feel if you come home and find your friend trying on your clothes without you knowing?
@@OnLifeandLove I wouldn't care? I'd probably offer them a drink
@@shellstar2467 Well, I would. And I am not royalty or upper class anything. Especially if I had a bad day like Cora had. And she eventually apologized and gave the coat to Mras Hughes, most people would feel guilty but probably do nothing about it. Apologizing is never easy.
@@OnLifeandLove the people I consider friends are basically family.
Ms Baxter is truly the most underrated character. She genuinely cared for and wanted what was best for everyone at Downton.
Agree 100%. A largely unsung hero, who believed in Mr Molesey from the beginning & knew that he could be a teacher. Who helped secure Mr Bates freedom. And who saved Thomas - TWICE. I'll *always* love her for that 🥰
I keep waiting for her and Mr Mosely to get married.
@@debbiesims138 did you finish all the series? 😯
Ms Baxter is the best character. I adore her. I wish her and Thomas had dne something together, like open a cabaret or create a fashion line.
@@debbiesims138 Watch the new movie. You´ll be happy.
The upstairs family sits on Carson's side of the church, the downstairs staff sits on Mrs. Hughes' side. Interesting touch.
considering Carson's position it is actually not all that surprising.
Well Carson does spend the most amount of time upstairs especially compared to Mrs. Hughes.
All of these comments hating on Cora for that business with the coat... yes, she overreacted horribly, but I think the important bit here is that she recognized that she behaved badly and apologized to Mrs Hughes. Honestly, that apology scene was one of my very favorites in the last season!
And that wedding was so beautiful. All in all, this episode was so sweet, and tears of joy were shed from my part. That apology scene, my favorite couple in the show getting their beautiful, well deserved wedding, and Tom arriving at the end!!
I agree, Cora has always shown respect and care for the people that work at Downton. Based on circumstances, I think we all are guilty of "snapping" at someone at one time or other. Cora was quite sincere with her apology and went an extra step and gave the coat to Mrs. Hughes. In those days, the Lord and Ladies did not usually apologize to their servants even when they were wrong.
I thought she reacted how anyone would react if they found someone that worked for them in their bedroom, trying on their clothes. Imagine if you were staying in a hotel and returned to your room to find the cleaning staff trying on your clothes. How would you have reacted? It's one thing to be a kind, understanding and respectful employer. It's quite another to allow your employees to do whatever they like without consequences. I expect that her reaction also had to do with the fact that she was tired and upset about another matter, and that she was completely blindsided about Mrs Hughes borrowing one of her coats for the wedding. Mary had agreed to it, without bothering to inform her mother, so Cora (the person who should have been asked first), ended up finding out about it last. Had Cora been asked first, I doubt she would have said no to Mrs Hughes in the first place, since she has often shown kindness and consideration for her staff (for example, offering to take care of Mrs Hughes when she thought she might have breast cancer). It was just that the decision was taken away from her, and I doubt anyone would be happy about that.
@@babablacksheepdog Yes, I think it had all to do with her having had a long day, and being tired and annoyed and not in a very good mood altogether. That, and her not knowing about Mrs Hughes burrowing the coat (though if I may speak in Mary's defence a little, she did try to tell her, Cora just went straight to her bedroom before she could manage). I am honestly bemused by these comments passing such harsh judgements on Cora, as if they didn't ever snap unnecessarilly on someone on a bad day.
Guess Cora could be quite the bitch too.
@@nazgullord3198
Lady Mary should have offered to lend mrs Huges something from her own no doubt bursting warderobe !
But of course, it would have ruined the drama.... 😁
I love Mrs Patmore! "We've all done that, milady". She always adds the pure human vision to every situation: there were 3 women talking about feelings, beyond the matter of their position in the house.
I wonder where she ordered the dress from 😂😂
@@Davyjj Another commenter said it came from Wish. 😅
@@govurma won't be surprised lolllllllll
Mrs. Hughes and Carson are such great people. You want proof? See how everyone in the house pulled together to make their wedding day special.
I love Mrs Hughes, if anyone deserved a happily ever after it would be her.
I completely adore Mrs. Hughes.
I'm glad they softened her up into it a bit. She was a dour old bat at the start.
@@taroman7100 I think that's why it just felt so organic, because at the same time Carson's also grown softer
Cora showed maturity and class with her apology, so happy she did and Mrs Hughes could enjoy her day
Everybody seems to forget that Mary created the situation in the first place.
Figures.
She truly needs to be horse whipped...several times a day!
petemd3 something is wrong with you
Jehane Thompson...you're really a clueless piece...aren't you?
petemd3 Thank you 🙄
Yes, but Cora never leaned into Lady Mary; rather, it was the other way ‘round.
Anna: "Well it's very um...it's an improvement. We can say that."
Daisy: "Really?! What was the last one like?" 😂😂😂 3:54
“Mrs. Hughes, doesn’t Carson deserve....”
Yes...but Mary....honey....it’s about THE BRIDE!
I totally hate how they tried to make it about the family, instead of the groom and bride
Nesseire Well, Carson made it about the family, and Lady Mary made it about Carson. Only the female servants thought of Mrs. Hughes.
That's just Lady Mary being Lady Mary. To have her Cake and Carson too.
@@m.layfette6249 hahahaha that was really funny XD !!!
But it takes two people to marry, and the bride and the groom should both have a say in where the wedding is held
I can't understand the criticism Cora is getting. I don't think this was her fault at all. As much as I love Mary, this was all on her. Cora was right to be angry since she walked in without any knowledge of what was going on and saw the staff going through her belongings. That would make anyone mad. The fact that Cora goes on to apologise for her behavior shows just how much of a kind and reasonable employer she is.
@I M she’d had a pretty bad day in the first place and then she comes home to see the servants trying on her clothes ... Cora may be a very kind employer but this is the 1920s and she’s a Countess and those are her servants - there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed, and to her at that moment it would’ve appeared that the line had very clearly been crossed
Mary is always so mean to her mother. Even respectless.
@@blinkeu7775 I would be pissed if I saw a bunch of people going through my stuff.
Even the nicest people snap once in a while, it’s normal.
@@blinkeu7775 agree, i blame dowager for getting fight with her about the hospital! Hahaha
I have ALWAYS adored Mrs. Hughes. What a towering figure she's been in the show.
THIS is why Mrs Hughes is one of my favourite characters 🥰 She serves Downton & the family with love & devotion, but unlike Mr Carson (imo), she retains a sense of quiet, well spoken dignity, & a pride in being a good, working class woman with her OWN values which don't always match those of her employer's world. She is able to say anything, to anyone - upstairs or down, because she is always fair, no nonsense & straight from the heart.
Up until today this show never fails to make me cry.
Also love how Mary has been (kindly) put into place by Mrs Hughes who all in all is just a wiser because older person with more contact to the real world whatever her position. The way Mary was offended throughout the whole scene and then was put off by her servant showing her she knows nothing... that was glorious. And she called Cora a snob lol. Calling it a "servants wedding" when it's simply a people's wedding like her own. Love how Cora understands that it's a privat thing, that their servants are also people with privat lifes and that different people do it in different ways.
private
Yeah, Mary didn´t handle this well. She wanted to help, the intention was good but she was stuck in her own head and wasn´t listening to the others.
and Mary doesn't learn anything from it.
⁰
Cora is my favorite person on Downton.. Even though she’s wealthy and upper class, she treats her staff with so much dignity and respect. I’m sure that type of kindness was not common for this time period and I love how they add some humanity to the Crawleys.
I agree, she always sought peace, understandíng and love. Idk why some accused her of being boring and weak. It takes soul quality and ladyship to rise above the ego and things. This is the only time I saw her unbalanced, unfriendly and rash. Her apology was humble and noble, what a fine scene. Also MAry caring to help with the wedding dress.
I think that is why we find downtown so attractive and magical, the fact that the upper class cares for their servants all along.
That's because she was an American (in the era)
@@suneraratnayake6772she was also from a nouveau riche family. Her own family might have been treated with derision from those with old money. We already know that she wasn’t initially cared for when she came to Downton due to her status.
When i was younger I thought this show was boring. I don't know what happened...every minute is magical to me now!!!
I know! I found that watching it, at varying to times, always ended with me having calmed down, settled almost. more relaxed. 😉
Now you understand it.
I’m rewatching after a several year gap, and I’m seeing so many things I don’t remember!!!
I think it's because it ACTUALLY is for adults, with some sharp wit and humor you won't find in shows tailored to younger people. It's imho a very underrated show abroad, I can at least say it caught my attention rather soon, admittedly because I love maggie smith xD
Sounds like you matured.
"We all have moments when anger clouds our better judgment." Very true. It's being able to recognize it and rectify it after it happens that separates the mature from the immature.
Preach it!
I love this show so much! May we all be so blessed as to find as great love as Carson and Mrs. Hughes found or Anna and Bates or Sybil and Tom or Mary and Matthew!

Give Cora a break people! She's human like all of us! She apologized. It takes an exceptional person to admit a mistake and apologize.
IKR I still don't forgive Lord Grantham for sybill
@@user-bf7bp2ox5z me too and will never. How did they believe on that stupid doctor 😠😠
She’s fictional and this is fiction 😂 people must enjoy the show and the excellent writing, but remember this is entertainment
@@Julia36D Yes, but the excellent writing and acting sucks us all in and makes us believe it's real, lol
@@greenwitch4944 : having been a hospital nurse for several decades, I’ve seen some very rude and superior acting doctors ..... who think that whatever they say/do is perfection (and how dare anyone question their decisions!!). There’s an old joke about this......‘What’s the difference between God and a doctor’? ‘God doesn’t think he’s a doctor!’.
Cora had every right to react the way she did when she found the 3 of them going trough her clothes and trying them on, and to then go and apologise for her behaviour later and give Mrs Hugh’s a coat just goes to show what a lovely person she is, to apologise to the staff is beneath her standing and was probably unheard of in those days. I think Cora is a lovely character
Still she owed Mrs Hughes, who had been so loyal and faithful for so many years, at least a chance to explain herself, which she didn't!
She didn't even let Mrs Hughes talk and explain the misunderstanding...and humiliated her the night before her wedding day...no one should be mistreated right before their wedding day, it leaves a trauma and taints the good memories from that day. Mrs Hughes had been such a good employer, she deserved at least a little grace and the benefit of the doubt. Cora was excessively harsh and cruel.
You’re completely wrong. Cora was wrong, very wrong on her behavior, if she’s to be consistent on who she has been, and she knew it. She was angry about other thing and tired and lashed out, very unbecoming of her. Cora has been and is the less snob of all the family by far.
Plaudits to Mary for pointing out that Cora should apologize to Mrs Hughes
Mary was the one at fault here, she should have been more considerate for both of them
@@jessica-fcm She sincerely apologized and offered her wardrobe to her, I'm not sure what the hell else you expected from her. People are allowed to make mistakes and learn from it. People get stressed and lash out without meaning to.
Out of all the weddings in downton abbey, theirs was the most heartfelt. The excitement, the nervousness, the sweetness. The preparations, the decisions the choices. ♡
Daisy after seeing the dress: "Is it? What was the last one like?" 😂
Like “Golly! If *this* is BETTER?!?”
She looks like it smells bad!
🤣😂🤣😂
Love that coat with Mrs. Hughes dress, the embroidery definitely sets it off right. Well done.
Mr. Carson was strutting like a proud peacock for sure after the ceremony and rightly so. Really enjoyed this story-line in the series.
He was and is a stuffed toad! He needs to be there for his bride like he is with his precious, "can do no wrong" Mary! Carson is disgusting!
@@verlaschupbach8102 for christ's sake... it's not like anyone cared to mention it to him
Whenever a woman goes “I wanted...” but then says “but he wants it...” and then sighs and says “I don’t mind.” She really does mind 🙄
Precisely
Yeah but it can also go the other way around and generally people who are deeply in love can end up valueing their partner's wants and needs more than their own
@@leftblax7065 the point was that mrs Hughes wanted it another way but Carson didn’t
From first noticing their chemistry early on to watch it lead up to the wedding has been so sweet. It's cute their going over what they're to do the night before the wedding.
I know that the story of Downton is Lady Mary's love life, but the romance of Charles Carson and Elsie Hughes is the one that tickles my old war-mutt heart the most.
This was the epitome of how great Cora was in terms as an employer and a human being.
Really glad Lady Cora apologised to Mrs Hughes. She's dead classy ❤️
Mrs. Hughes is a really well-written character.
"she won't mind. She'll be pleased."
Narrator: she wasn't pleased.
Anna and Daisy's reaction to the new flock never ceases to make me laugh. 😂
The scene 7:00 was quite emotional! Cora apologizing for her behaviour and giving the coat to Mrs Hughes.
I really missed the "we've come to dress the bride"-scene, that was so amazing and sweet,
and I must say, the coat and that dress together made for a splendid wedding outfit!
Mary says “Leave it to me” twice and it blows up twice. First, she tries to convince Mrs. Hughes to have the reception at the house, but Cora gets to the truth with Mary present. Then she offers up one of Cora’s coats for Mrs. Hughes to wear...and Cora becomes the last to know. She’d make a lousy wedding planner...assuming she needed a job in the first place. :-)
I understand Mary because she sees Carson particularly as an extended member of her family but she's really insensitive to Mrs Hughes.
That's the whole point.
Mary is insensitive to EVERYBODY, But Carson.
A carson y a su abuela son muy parecidas
the plain truth was Mary isn't like Sybil, she only helped people she wanted to help, obviously she was insensitive to Mrs Hughes
The piece of music underscoring Carson packing in his room, Miss Baxter altering the coat, and Mrs Hughes getting into bed is just so beautiful. It was in the film as Maud’s theme, but it was used a lot in the series in relation to Carson and Hughes. It’s such a gorgeous, touching piece of music 🥺
I have to admit....I'm a 53 yo man.....and when she spoke it humbled me to near tears.
Aw...💙
Cora is gracious - and not everyone can apologize in such a nice way.
When Anna said “her ladyship is too tall” I just realized when Cora walks into the room, standing with Mrs Hugh & Mrs Patmore, she really is tall. She’s almost 5’10.
And then heels.
A couple of inches surely !
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 exactly! Heels make her even taller.
@@saiyanknight8243
I could do with a few heel inches myself...
Being 5'6.
With some rather annoyingly tall friends...
One is 6'2 or 6'3.
And she loves stiletto heels ! 😄
Elizabeth McGovern (who plays Cora) is 5’9 so any of her coats would definitely be collecting dirt and dust if Mrs Hughes were to wear any 😂
Just shows that it is never too late. I was very happy for them both 💝
Not just romance ...but actually how Carson was thinking of Mrs Hughes ....thinking of the later years and wanted to protect her and to make sure she would be cared for ....
Is it wrong for me to like the look on Lady Mary's face when She Doesn't Get Her Way?!? 😆
Mary always stirs the pot bur becaude shes the oldest, granny and papa always comfort her. Take the Edith situation. Mary messed up, nearly crashed Edith's dream wedding a second time, but then granny let her cry on her shoulder 🙄🙄🙄 indeed watching Mary not get her way is very entertaining
I know that this might seem a little over the top, but what would you two say to the idea that Lady Mary might have deliberately done that to get back at Mrs. Hughes? Maybe a little far-fetched, I know.
@@AndrielleHillis Get back at Mrs. Hughes for what?!? Generally Mrs. Hughes and Lady Mary rarely exchange dialogue. Her (Lady Mary) intention was see that Mr. Carson had the "perfect wedding." A Downton Abbey wedding.
@@m.layfette6249 what right does she have to assume their wedding should be all about her wishes? She isn't defending Carson so much as forcing her views on everyone else as usual. Everything is always all about Mary.
@@debracurry612 I quite agree. As Lady Edith would say, "She wants her cake and hate me too."
Mary: "Mrs. Hughes doesn't Carson deserve a wedding in this house...?"
If the roles were reversed Lady Mary would be shouting and screaming all the way to Windsor about NOT having a wedding the way she wanted.
Oh totally. And also did she even ask him properly because he would do anything for Mary even get married where he doesnt want to.
I love how when Carson comes in, everyone suddenly starts sipping tea so casually, so English 😂
Mrs Hughes is a beautiful bride for her wedding day. This brought such a smile to my face.
I love how polite everyone gets when they're trying to describe something awful lol
Mrs Hughes is the only character without foibles and wide swings from her very centrist view of life. Always kind but shrewd and sees the world pretty clearly.
Honestly, I don't blame anyone here... This is a wonderful example of how good intentions can clash and cause a problem. First, Mary loves Carson and TBH, Carson did wanted to get married in the house as he sees Crawleys as his family (until he realized that Mrs Hughes wanted something else). Mary had no objections in telling Anna that they could borrow one of Cora's coats and I have no doubt that, if Cora hadn't been so exhausted and angry, she would have been much kinder. As she has always been.
This just reminds us that no matter how noble your intentions are, sometimes they can be misplaced.
but maybe Mary should have been ‘overseeing’ the unusual activity...
@@dbcoco you know what yes. She should have been. Though I do like that her not being there adds a level of trust from her. But also didnt try very hard to tell Cora they are there.
Just makes them all so human. I would have 100% acted like Cora in that situation.
I guess I won't ever stop watching Downton.
Everyone’s talking about Cora but no one is mentioning how rude Mary was for insisting they get married from the house. “Carson this, Carson that” it’s not just about Carson, Mary. Their lives revolve around you everyday 365 days a year, they can have a celebration beyond the house every once in a while.
Cora is so classy and gracious. She has the kindest face.
Because she's American 😁
I read somewhere that people in those positions don’t ever marry, however in this case apparently fans wanted them to marry so they were accommodated
Como que no se casaban sino eran vistos de fornicarios.
the time was changing by this time 1920s.
Butler married etc, maid rather work in factory or shops etc etc.
One of the sweetest scenes from the show.
Amen
Always liked Mrs Hughes, one of my favorite characters from the show.
I like how Mrs. Hughes wanted something more simple. She deserved the type of wedding she dreamed of having.
"Nibbley bits that get stuck in their teeth." 😂
I love how they were so proper to wait until outside of the church to cheer and clap. Society well behaved and disciplined to understand the solemnity of some events and buildings.
@S C go to hell! Oh, wait...never mind, you are already on your way.
I'd caution never to enter a baptist church. All that happiness might upset you.
I never disliked Cora more than when she yelled at poor Mrs. Hughes, her loyal housekeeper, for trying out one of her coats and refusing to listen when she wanted to explain herself
You have to understand, she was mad about something else and had a splitting headache.
She redeemed herself and all you can focus on is her mistake?
Alberta Rose I did not say that😂 I liked Cora as a character overall, and I get that everyone snaps once in a while. But nevertheless, this scene was hard to watch
@@AlbertaRose94 It was uncomfortable to watch before she redeemed herself
Line Wiik Yes it was. I think that’s why this is one of my top 10 forgettable scenes.
Ironic... I couldnt help but notice...how the velvet with lace coat was the most perfectly lovely addition to the simple crepe dress thoughtfully ordered..and SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE BULKY FUR THEY TRIED ON IN HER LADYSHIPS ROOM AND THOUGHT WOULD WORK. That bulky fur would have been all wrong....Thank goodness Cora walked in, got and prevented that bulky blob from being a choice and instead/ ultimately gave that lovely coat that any woman would envy and look graceful, dignified and attractive in...All things work out for the best.
The whole outfit was dowdy, Cora should have lent her a more cheerful dress, that one was for a funeral
@@rebekahlascheit5837 there is no accounting for taste....of which...you have none...To bash VELVET and EMBROYDERED LACE shows your lack of refinement...What she had on was a thoughtful dress from a friend and a lovely velvety embroidered coat from a countess.
She looked fantasticly beautiful and ...you....are someone who throws a wet blanket on happy events....Go in your safe space, mumble judgements, then shut up, and take your wet blanket with you.
Good God Mary, step down from that glass pedestal stop being such a bully!
She has her ups and downs, like your average human being. A central theme of Downton Abbey is the nature of humanity, a reflection of our very own humanity. Mary's good nature is seen with her good intentions asking for the wedding to be in Downton, even though her approach was too forced, part of her bad nature. However, when her mother Cora caught Mrs. Hughes, Patmore and Anna in her room and angrily snapped at them (a consequence of having gone through an awful day and having a bad headache), Mary's good nature proceeded led her to remind her mother Cora about the importance of humility. Cora understood this and went on to apologize to Mrs. Hughes and Patmore. Anyway, this is why I love Downton, because I can relate to the characters. To me they are very human-- on the one hand full of grace, and in another, full of flaws that we are all guilty of at one time or another.
I can't stand Mary. Entitled, mean-spirited way too many times to be forgivable. She isn't "average"; she's a hypocritical, toxic drama queen I would never want to be involved in my life.
I am seriously considering not finishing the series because Mary is sooo horrible. I'm in season 4 and I think I've had enough of her cold, bad attitude.
@@jeanetteq6024 Don't let her terrible attitude stop you! Watch it for others. I agreeーMary's the nicest she's been in S2. S3 Mary is Cora reincarnated. S4 Mary is depressing. I won't spoil it for the rest of the series, but let's just say she's pretty much S1 Mary give it or take.
@@lindaliriel Right? It's nice to watch for the drama, but not to live with in real life 😂
Mary was quite miffed at Mrs Hughes preferring a party somewhere other than her “house”. The bride wasn’t going to let someone else dictate how her wedding should proceed, and I’m glad she explained, though this was not necessary, as they were allowed to have their private life.
Mrs. Hughes is my #1 favorite Downton Abbey character. She's smart, compassionate, efficient, and she knows when to be stern and when to be conciliatory. She also has a sharp sense of humor, which she often uses to puncture Carson's stuffiness. I remember once when he was going on about how he, and not she, was the servants' leader, and she just said, "Well, that's put me in my place."
She's tougher than Carson, too. He huffs and puffs, but when James blackmails him over Thomas, Carson rolls right over. When Braithwaite tries something similar, Hughes steps to and backs her right down. I think maybe Hughes is tougher because she is able to bend when necessary.
I’ve started rewatching DA during this quarantined time at home due to CV-19 🥴
Me too
Exact same thing 😂

No matter what part of the society we are, it is always remarkable when someone apologizes for their behavior and have the courage to say ´´I am sorry‘´.
The bagpiper was playing Highland Wedding!!!! 💗💗💗💗
Trying to help her, the Crawleys would take over the wedding. She wanted her very own wedding planned as she wanted not others
My second favourite couple in the house next to Mr. and Mrs. Bates.
Why are people mad with Cora? She's an employer coming home after having a bad day to find her employees trying out her property. How would you feel if you came home and found your nanny or maid trying out your jewelry or clothes without your permission? If any party is at fault it would be spoiled Mary. She should've stopped Cora from leaving the Drawing Room and explained to her in details. She has no right to be mad at Cora because at the end of the day it's Cora's coat, not hers.
Good to see a wedding so simple and dignified ans spiritual, without people applauding and whooping it up in a house of worship.
Have you read the Psalms? Applauding and whooping can be very worshipful, indeed.
@@cloudwatcher608 Yes. I have read them. I recently finished reading the entire Bible but I still like a wedding to be on the quiet side.
is it just me, or did they not sign the register after the service?
Heaven forbid pure Joy at a wedding eh?
God forbid people rejoice in the Lord for the union of a happy couple. 🙄
Carson's smile at the end is so sweet ❤
Thank you so much for putting this together - Mrs Hughes was transformed by the coat and by the work of her two dressers.
It really was a wonderfull and enjoyable series.....nothing like it will ever appear again in my lifetime!
Mary who tells "I think you're a snob !" So ironic
She had her moments but i really hated that character while watching the show even more than O Brien as strange as it may seen
Mary loves controlling everything but thinks nothing of how others feel. She should have waited and discussed the situation with Cora. Or at least have the decency to be there with the ladies. In a similar situation most people would be pissed
Yeah. I don't get how she cud casually say " Go to my mom's room and try out anything u want". Atleast accompany them or sth or wait for Cora to be back.
Mary got on my nerves. She could really be a brat.

Could be a brat? She IS and always WILL BE A BRAT.
what mrs hughes wwants is one day of equality where she isn't treated and feels like a servant
I’m so happy Mrs. Hughes got the reception she desired. I perked up when the bagpipes started playing
I liked it when Carson looked at his bed, obviously thinking about how that's the last night it'll be empty...
"What was the last one like?🤨🤨"

I loved the part when Mrs Hughes wakes up in the morning on her wedding day where she is being cared for in preparation of the wedding.
Two of my favorite characters from the show! Can’t be more excited than that!
I love this episode of Downton Abbey because it shows us that everyone needs to be treated equally...as in the upper class to the lower class people
I don’t blame Cora because if people were in my room trying on my clothes I’d be pretty pissed too
Not if you know they are honest people and been there for ages.
Mary calling her mother a snob was ironic 🙄
I loved Cora s wtf face
Lovely british drama!!!!
Wonderful perfomance from all of them.🤩🤩
3:09 i love how cora found it funny since she knows she is far from being a snob 😭
Perdon mi ignorancia pero que es una snob?
@@alexandrabelli4139 A 'snob' is someone who thinks they are better than others and overly respect position and wealth. They also have a tendency to look down on others whom they think are inferior to themselves.
They are so cute together, both the pillars of Downton Abbey.
Cora reacted because she knows what a bully Mary can be. She should have spoken to her mother prior to allowing them to rifle through her closet.
I just watched the whole series again for the 7th time and I watched a movie for the 4th time and every time I watch the series, I see something that I missed before and I’m starting to use British slang when I talk (daft). Also a friend of mine is sick and I found myself asking her husband to let me know when she can “receive a proper visit”. 😂
That's hilarious because I went to my friend's house and it was kind of chilly out and I told her do you want me to put the kettle on? LOL
Salina 🤣🤣
Where do you watch it? I've seen bits and pieces on these clips but I don't think its on Netflix or anything right?
My inner dialogue changes after watching downton lol
@@rachelhahn4461 It's on peacock....I have the free version of it and it's on there. I have it on my roku and my android phone but I think it's not available on amazon fire yet.
I believe we've been there before about snapping at someone, but it's wise for those to ask for forgiveness.
I think one of the things I like most about Downton Abbey is that unlike most of what the entertainment industry puts out, they actually permit for the possibility that many of the posh and elite folks of greater wealth and privilege are just as likely to be good, thoughtful and caring people...and genuinely kind. And that people of all stations and classes run the gambit of goodness or poor character.
The one thing I loved most about this series is how the staff came to be so highly valued by the family in a time when it just wasn’t done. Servants were rarely treated so well by other members of the monarchy.
It makes me laugh when people genuinely think DA is real. Real life aristocrats would never have put themselves out for their servants like the Grantham family did. It would have made the family look bad (as they had to keep appearances within their own class) to be seen to be too benevolent to their servants as everyone had to know their place. No way would aristocrats would have attended a servants wedding, it wasn't the done thing. Social classes stayed seperate from each other and you didn't mix socially.

How do you know?
Spoken to many servants and nobles have you?
Some people are nice, and others are bad, in all places and walks of life.
@@sebastianlodge7549 I know because my grandmother was a maid when she was young(she's dead now). She was born in 1914 and worked as a maid for a few years before getting married. I also have looked after many elderly people, some were domestic servants and told me about their experiences. I've also worked in customer service jobs and served modern day aristocrats who they and other rich people were in the majority not very nice. The poorer customers were often the nicest. I also read alot of book, articles and watch alot of documentaries and videos of real life testimonies that give an accurate picture of life in those days. Downton Abbey is a well acted, enjoyable, glamorous TV show that obviously has big budgets but there is very little that is accurate about it. Upstairs Downstairs is a low budget version of Downton Abbey that was made in the 1970's but is more realistic and well acted. I think what's happened in more recent years is that the entertainment industry is overrun by lefty liberals who have a rose tinted version of history which is a disservice to people who actually lived through it. My grandmother would have laughed at people's sheer stupidity to think that these tv shows are realistic she would have told anyone in a blunt way to get through to them how it really was. Nothing wrong with enjoying TV shows like DA but they're escapism nothing more. Some novels are more realistic than others like Catherine Cookson and Thomas Hardy which are mainly set in Victorian times and early 20th century.

Ok so you have spoken to one half of the side good to know.
I’m not disagreeing that some nobles were bad, I’m just saying that there is good and bad everywhere, low and high standing people.
So giving a blanket statement to all of them is a bit over the top.
@@sebastianlodge7549 you are right that there are good and bad in all walks of life including all social classes. The point I'm trying to make is that aristocrats considered themselves and might still do way above servants in the social heirachy as aristocrats were much richer and privileged than any servant. Aristocrats held alot of power being landowners and powerful businessmen. Historians have said that servants were seen as nothing more that how modern people view their washing machine. If majority of servants were so well treated then how come many ended up in the workhouse when they became too old or ill to work even though they gave their lives to service and deserved to be looked after in their old age after working so hard their entire lives(some aristocrats did do this but not many). The workhouses (victorian concentration camps) kept meticulous records so show many servants ended up there. Also after the 1st World War many servants did not want to return to service after seeing so many young men die needlessly. Many servants left in droves from about 1920's as better jobs and new technology gave them better opportunities. Aristocrats recorded that it was difficult for them to find servants at that time. In victorian times they had the view of the poor deserving to be poor as they were thought to be lazy even though they worked the hardest. It was the Aristos who had it easiest as they didn't work for a living which is the hallmark of being classed as an Aristocrat! I don't have a vendetta against Aristocrats I'm simply relaying facts and the harsh reality of life. The truth is the most important.
Cora shouldn’t have reacted like that. After all the servants do for her they deserve to be allowed to borrow a single coat!
Facts. At least she was woman enough to apologize and give her coat in the end
Off topic. But I'm glad you said she was woman enough. Most people would say man enough.
It was the surprise that irked her. She was irritated to begin with, tired, and not expecting her private space to be invaded. Her behaviour was understandable.
@Karl Delavigne why was Cora irritable?
Cora's only human. She said it in her apology that she was really angry about something else and finding them going through her clothes put her over the edge. When she calmed down she went back to being her usual gracious self and apologised. If anything it's Mary's fault for not telling Cora what she'd given the servants permission for, she really set them up to take Cora's wrath.
not sure if I said this before but this part always irks me, Mary makes the wedding about Carson and the family, as if Mrs. Hughes isn't a factor and hasn't also worked for the family for years!!!!!
I have seen this at least six times. Cry every time.
I love everyone Shutting up when Carson comes back into the room 😂😂
