Season 3 opening with a wedding?

Yeah, ummm ... Jim & Carol would apparently have happened either while he was at the Academy or just after him graduating in the TOS timeline.
Gary Mitchell is supposedly been the one to have introduced them to each other.
(and we haven't even seen him in SNW yet)

We may have to adjust the year of that event, Kirk has only been shown as the Captain of the USS Farragut in the alternate timeline so far and he's still a Lt. as of Season 2.
He tells La’an about Carol when they meet for the first time (well for him it’s the first time) So they’ve been together for a bit. Maybe since the Academy? I don’t think the blonde lab tech has officially be said to be Carol.

The Farragut Captain Kirk would be from a time equivalent to Season One TOS.
 
Gary introducing him to Carol is just a fan theory.
A fan theory based on somewhat strong evidence from what Mitchell said about the little blond lab tech.
Kirk wasn't Captain when the creature attacked the Farragut. He was a Lt. manning the phasers.
But he supposedly took over command of the ship after Captain Garrovick dies.
Chapel was wearing a memorial pin for the Farragut in Season 1's Memento Mori
We don't really know what exactly her connection is to the Farragut. It could be for some other incident in which someone she knew died, but not necessarily the cloud creature attack.

I guess it's all supposition unless or until They decide to give us more info about it in a future episode. :shrug:
 
I'd assume she isn't around because she's dead. My view is she is dying and they get married anyway, but M'benga cannot save her.

Pike knows he tried his best, but friction develops. M'benga leaves as CMO as a result.
either way, I hope we get Piper and not McCoy.
 
. That could be anyone. Would Carol have been a "lab tech"? I assume she she would have her masters and studying for a doctorate.
Gary, being the Horndog that he was and talking to his best bud, probably would not have been cordial with his descriptions of women he and Jim associated with. Especially if the ladies weren't as 'loose' as he would have preferred.
 
I'm not sure Ms Lester (another early fling) would have really been an option either.
From what little we learned about her, she doesn't seem like the type that would let herself get pregnant.
(accidentally or on purpose)

Apparently, she was Hell bent on becoming a Starship Captain and having a baby would have been an even bigger hindrance to that goal.

At least beyond her probably failing her psych eval by Star Fleet Medical to begin with.
Which is what I think actually was the reason, not that Star Fleet was against women captains.
She failed out due to early onset and detection of a mental disability and then blamed everybody and everything except herself.
Including a certain Ex boyfriend.

I forgot Kirk mentioned he almost married the blonde lab tech. That puts more weight on the snw wedding being kirk and carol
 
What Kirk defines "almost married" as and what actually constitutes an engagement could be subjective. Somebody who doesn't want to get married (aside from during a fit of amnesia, that is) might regard any relationship that lasts longer than two weeks as an engagement.
