Patrick Stewart and Joanna Miles are the same age, so I don't see how it's even remotely possible that Perrin could have had an adult son when Picard was a fresh-faced lieutenant.

The actors are not the characters. Perrin could be much older than the actress if we assume she's aged better than Picard. TNG made McCoy ten years younger than what Kelley was in TOS.Patrick Stewart and Joanna Miles are the same age, so I don't see how it's even remotely possible that Perrin could have had an adult son when Picard was a fresh-faced lieutenant.
Occam's razor. You have to stretch like Reed Richards to make that work. I mean, if that's your head canon, then that's yours and no one can take it away from you, but I don't see any logical narrative sense in-universe to it.The actors are not the characters.

Dude, I don't give two shits if others think the same or not. But this franchise has already reshaped things in far more radical ways. This is nothing in comparison. So calm down, will you?Just don't expect others to make the leaps in logic necessary to conform to your headcanon.

Why wait 80 years to do anything?
I picture it as a deathbed thing, making it official before the end.I’m simply not seeing Chapel as the one Spock married. If we accept Picard’s birthdate as 2305, per non-canon sources, he couldn’t be a Lieutenant before 2325. Which is when he would’ve likely graduated from Starfleet Academy. I can’t see Chapel being born after 2230. Which would make her 95 in 2325.
Just doesn’t make much sense, in my book.

What, you don't think the wedding of Admiral Christine Chapel deserves a Starfleet honor guard?If that's the case, I definitely wouldn't see a Starfleet contingent being there for the celebration. Something like that would probably be a pretty small, intimate affair.
The bigger picture, I dislike the entirety of Chapel's character being defined by her relationship with Spock.
Which was a rough read for me, having assimilated The Pandora Principle first.For what it's worth, Spock marries Saavik in one of the novels: Vulcan's Heart by Susan Shwartz & Josepha Sherman.
