I so wanted to do this topic a few weeks ago, but, alas, I had to wait. In any case, let's see what tasty tidbits you all can come up with for the Royal weddings topic. For me, the top of the royal wedding heap is that of Grace Kelly and the Prince of Monaco. How regally gorgeous was she! |

Unlike the traditional bride, I was on time - just. Voting completed.
So, when I was 30 minutes late to my own wedding, I was upholding a tradition? Is that a British tradition? BTW--I'm usually late to everything. Except supper.
I have consulted my wife who (obviously) was once a bride, and she advises that 5 minutes is about right and in line with British custom. 30 minutes might be considered a bit or a lot unfortunate depending on e.g. the temperature of the wedding venue, the hardness of the seats, and how long since the congregation last ate anything. All this is clearly set out in Britain's (unwritten) constitution, I think in chapter 17 and appendix XXII.
PS - congratulations Bife |

Pippa Middleton, for it is she, has a Facebook page devoted to her (rather splendid) arse and has been a magnet for photographers since the big event.
And here is that rather splendid arse...   |

Maybe because it was too cheesy. |

The Royal Wedding was one of the best reasons I can think of to be living in singapore instead of Britain, although even here I couldn't fully get away from it 
Reading my friends' facebook updates from home during april, it did feel as though i was the only englishman in the world that didn't follow it gushingly.
Even my (dutch) wife watched it - screened live at Singapore's "Dutch Club" 
I saw about five minutes of it before going outside and lighting up the barbecue. My next door neighbour spent the entire day rebuilding his racing-pigeon loft.
P.S. For a change, I'm entering the Avatar comp this week. They said it was a fairytale wedding. Here's the (spooky) proof, courtesy of Disney. If you can't see it, here's the original. |
