The Wedding Royale

   
      Well, after months of speculation and "leaks", the wedding of the millenium has been conducted. At Westminster Abbey, in the chapel somehow lined with live trees, and witnessed by 2 Billion people around the world, Prince William and Kate Middleton became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. America can learn somethings from today's wedding.

1. We need to have a monarchy. (Look at how loyal the millions of citizens are! No Tea Party there!)
2. We have too many 24hr news. (Coverage started at 2 AM. I missed my favorite shake-weight infomercials.)
3. We need more British people, at least with accents. (Talking like them is just so damn snazzy!)
4. We have to keep the Beckhams in America. (They look stunning wherever they go....stunning.)
5. Love is beautiful. Marriage is beautiful. (At a time where young people shag whoever they please, it feels good to see a mature couple actually make a commitment.

     In the end, for those who stayed up to watch the event, it was worth it. The pomp and hullabaloo is an international phenomenon. Whether you woke up early in Austin, or stayed up late in the Philippines, at a time where the news is sad and depressing, when disasters and hopelessness fills the news; it feels good to look at the nuptials in London as a beacon of hope, of future, and of love. Cheerio. Pip-pip. God Save the Queen.
