The Wedding
Well, I've been seeing some footage of it and have become morbidly fascinated by the hats. They are amazing and terrifying all at once. Here are some brief notes:
1. You know your wedding is classy when the people marrying right after you are called Mr. Tom Crapper and Miss Deborah Biltcliffe. She must really love him, to give up a perfectly snotty name like Biltcliffe in favour of being Mrs. Crapper. Either that or young Master Crapper is loaded.
2. Camilla... Milly. Can I call you Milly? Please don't unravel wicker breadbaskets and put them on your head, dear. She really doesn't seem like a bad woman, but a little dignity is called for. That goes for the rest of you, with the flugle horns, feathers, birdcages, and Spanish galleons on your noggins.
3. William! To quote the Bard, "shut yo' mouth, boy! You catchin' flies?" None of the girls will think you are hot anymore if you walk around looking toothsome all the time, Wills.
4. From what I've seen on The Daily Show, Anglican prayers are intensely depressing.
5. All men, everywhere, should wear tailcoats and pinstriped trousers, always. There is not one guy at that wedding who didn't look his best.
I supposed without the crazy hats we can't know we're in Merrie Olde Englande. Head-mounted chamber pots/pheasants do maintain the mystique of the Isles. Anyway, congratulations to the happy couple, and I hope their honeymoon is as wonderful as a honeymoon in Scotland can ever be.

dude, anglican prayers are the same as catholic ones. just thought i would let you know.
But surely we really only need one way of saying, "we sinned, we're really really sorry". The Archbishop or whatever he is (Rowan Williams) was going ON and ON about how we are unworthy and sinful creatures and I kind of thought, "Whoa. Isn't this a wedding? Shouldn't there be joy and stuff?" Maybe Catholic weddings are like that too. I don't think I've ever been to one, actually.
