I'm a lot more interested in this wedding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-94JhLEiN0
> The prince has also became the Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, which means Miss Middleton will become the Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus.
Baroness Carrickfergus ?
can't they find any better named barony ?

Is that cake frosting?
My grandma is raving about the Nice Hats of the ladies at the ceremony, and urging me to find some princess to marry, stat - not because of status or of money or whatever, but because she wants to get to wear a Nice Hat too ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
Oh well, at least now I know what to get for her birthday :)

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

You don't need to marry a princess to justify a Nice Hat at the wedding. For that matter, why can't your grandma just buy herself a hat and wear it around the house?
I watched the ceremony. It was impressive, if only in over-the-topness, although the Prince Charles-Princess Diana wedding in 1981 was even more so. However, I doubt I'm really the target audience i.e. keen royalists and people who like weddings and/or expensive frocks.

The important question is whether anyone gave them a book bound in cane toad skins this time.

I want a Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster to overfly my wedding.

^ Don't worry, they're probably overflying Libyan weddings now.

Actually, they did...back in the 1940s.
Well, maybe not Lancasters.

Well I hope not and for once the people look okay instead of horridly british ugly (I'm shallow like that).

Eh? I don't follow this sort of thing but they seem like reasonably happy, well adjusted individuals. Which really is a bit of a miracle considering he's a prince and all that. That's not really fair. The British royal family, all things considered isn't too bad.

They all do.

As long as Kate doesn't go for a nice drive in France, who knows how long it will last.
By the powers invested in me by tabloid-reading imbeciles, I pronounce you guilty of paedophilia!
As my friend said:
"Catherine Middleton is good, politically. She's like... The people's princess. Like Princess Di."
"So she's Princess Di 2: Di Harder?"
"...That was horrible."
That was horrible.
You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!

Well, hold up. They've known each other a lot longer than Charles and Diana had, and they looked genuinely happy at the wedding. No need to get all doom and gloom at this stage.

Ugh. The NFL Draft is more exciting than this. At least you don't know what the ending will be like.
It also doesn't waste a ****load of taxpayer money.
You mad bro?
Yeah. Weddings. I mean they're just so predictable. Maybe we should liven them up by having someone actually stand up when the vicar asks and giving a reason in law why the bride and groom can't get married...

I'm british, so yeah, little bit. Would you like the US government to spend that much money on a wedding?
Over some of the things they spend money on?
Sure, at least it is entertainment.
Technically a lot of cities do just this kind of pageantry every year, what with Mardi Gras, bowl games, and other celebrations.
I'm hoping for Queen Kate!
Inexplicable Student
They'd probably refer to her as Catherine, in that case.
A queen's name's gotta be dignified, don'tcherknow.

yep.
On a more important note, day off. Hoorah.
