Congratulations, At Last

I am so pleased to see the news headline today announcing that Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles have FINALLY tied the knot! Although Britain seems somewhat divided on this issue, let's face it, it's a fairytale ending to a less-than-storybook romance. Not that it is really an ending so much as a new beginning, or (as we in the patent business sometimes call it) a "continuation in part." Who cares if Camilla takes the title of Queen or consort, or whatever (that should be a decision between herself and her husband)...a thirty year love affair has finally been made legal. And what is up with these people who lined the streets with signs that said "Diana forever?" Have they been asleep for the last 24 years? The marriage was a SHAM. It didn't WORK. (And, as I hate to remind everyone, the chances of Charles and Diana reuniting are pretty slim considering she passed away some years ago!) It is just an example of the classic arranged marriage bullshit and perhaps the royal families should rethink that angle. Diana is gone. Let this guy finally have the woman of his dreams...and may they both live happily ever after.

P.S. -- Hon, your outfit is FABULOUS! Love the hat. And Charles doesn't look bad either...the age is becoming on him. I would take a morning suit over a military uniform any day. Classic, and very chic.

Holy cow.. no pun intended.. Camilla wore a hat?? I just thought the honeymoon started a little early in the waiting area.. and that was pillow hair... Mine looked like that this morning too... anyway.. Agreement with you on letting the prince do what he wants.. for goodness sakes.. isn't everyone entitled to live their on life?

Okay. Guy meets girl. Guy and girl fall in love. Guy has to go into the Royal Navy. Girl marries someone else. Guy is forced into an arranged marriage with another girl (we'll call this one "girl 2") from a family with title, even if no money. Guy and girl 2 have huge wedding. (Girl 2 wears terrible dress.) Guy and girl 2 never should have been married in the first place. Guy and girl 2 get divorced. Meanwhile, girl (the first girl) is no longer married to the "someone else." Girl 2 has had affairs, along with guy and first girl. And girl 2, unhappy in her marriage, used charity work to get away from her lousy home life. Girl 2 is killed in a car crash trying to outrun the cameras. Guy, who should have been with first girl the whole time, is now free to pursue some modicum of happiness for what is rest of his life. LET THEM HAVE IT!

Sometimes people marry the wrong person and then have an opportunity to marry the right person. I know a couple who are quite happy, but one of the couple is still married to someone he shouldn't be. Does that make his partner part of "sinful things" because the partner could have been a factor in the breakup? Or does that only count in the case of ditzy princesses? Maybe sometimes things are allowed to happen that just don't need to happen. And then there is a chance for a right thing to happen. You know what I'm saying?
