Correct use of apostrophe
Help!
Two people, one wedding - so which would be a correct announcement:
Stuart and Meg's wedding
or
Stuart and Megs' wedding
Many thanks,
Richard.

Stuart and Meg's wedding. (OK)
The apostrophe represents the entire phrase "Stuart and Meg":
Stuart and Meg + 's
Stuart and Megs' wedding means, many Megs, like this,
Stuart and Meg and Meg and Meg, and so on.
All the best, :D

I don't think that "Stuart and Meg" here is a phrase as someone has sugested."Stuart() and Meg() wedding" is a compound sentence that can be bifurcated into simple sentences...Today is Stuart's wedding...Today is Meg's wedding...with the use of the additive conjunction "and" we can have something like this..."today is Stuart's and Meg's wedding"...More so,we are not sure whether the two of them are getting married to each other or to different spouses.If the two of them are a couple then it is possible to have"...Stuart and Meg's wedding" but if not,each person takes Apostrophe.
