Well they are both prettier then either Charlie or (the is she dead yet) Di. It was kinda cute when Prince Fred cried…sad that it was over an ocker though 😉 ---

My mum persuaded me to stay up and watch. There I was, at 1 in the morning, watching a wedding I don’t care about, and listening to the sermon in Danish. You might say, I was somewhat bored. Still, I loved her dress - not too sure about the hairdo though. And I thought it was very sweet when Fred cried. At least it’s all over. ---

> [@Futile Gesture](#): > > Anyway, everyone quit whining. You didn’t have to live through Princess Diana-mania twice over. How do you figure that? You think the average Australian television channel has anything higher rating to show than some silly english moo’s wedding and funeral if it has shiny glittery objects in it? ---

Woo hoo! I saw the princess drive by in her carriage. I even bought a Foster for the occasion! I wonder if they’re going to name their first born son for “Christian Bruce” or “Bruce Christian”? > [@Spectre of Pithecanthropus](#): > > That’s probably because here in the U.S. we almost never hear any news about any royal family except the British. > > By all accounts Continental royalty lives on a much more modest scale than their English counterparts, or so I’ve heard. I recon they’re just a lot less scandalous, except of course the princess of Monaco. Royalty today serve only one purpose; to entertain. In that regard one could say the British royalty is more successful than continental. ---
