It can therefore be taken that the wedding happened on the same day in both universes. In the universe where the Illuminati killed Stephen Strange, Strange caused an incursion after becoming aware of Thanos coming, which in the main universe occurred merely twenty-four hours prior to the Snap. It can therefore be taken that time in Sinister Strange's universe passed similarly as in the main universe, and that Doctor Strange and Christine Palmer arrive the following day, November 24, 2024.
