I tuned into the wedding on the internet just to see what the dress looked like and was immediately mesmerized by the whole thing. It was weird. I didn't expect to be drawn in. But that's what happened. Kind of like how the day after Bin Laden was killed I spent at least 2 hours researching (by "researching" I always mean "Googling") Marfan Syndrome. Osama Bin Laden, Abe Lincoln, one of the Ramones and Michael Phelps all have it--allegedly. I am keenly interested in diagnosing by sight. Under the study of Dr. Gregory House, I diagnosed Mickey Rourke's clubbed fingers in Iron Man 2. When Christian asks me, "What are you going to do today?" I have no way of answering. Because I never know what I will end up Googling all day. It's exciting.
I wondered if Harry and Pippa were falling in love during the wedding. But she has a boyfriend, and a Facebook page devoted to her behind. I know even more about her, but it's kind of inappropriate. I still know it though.
William's dapper suit? It's made out of special sweat-absorbing material.You know how the British are about stuff like that. Also, William didn't want to faint. That would have been a fiasco. My ex-uncle fainted at his wedding. I was the flower girl. A fainting groom is tacky and unmanly. Say what ever you want to about Prince William. I bet the two words you wouldn't say are tacky and unmanly. Prince Harry had a special hidden pocket sewn into his cuff to keep his swastikas in. Kidding! The hidden pocket was to keep the wedding band safe. (Welsh gold.) Now Kate wears the gold band under her (Diana's) engagement ring. I would have moved the engagement ring to my right hand and kept the wedding band on the left but I'm not the Duchess of Cambridge, am I. But I could be because I'm a commoner. In fact, it just don't get any commoner.
Let's see. What else. They have no household staff except for body guards. Kate does her own grocery shopping. They haven't had a honeymoon yet (unless you call living together for years a honeymoon, which I don't). They are coming to the United States around the time Posh and Beckham have their baby. But seriously, who cares about Posh and Beckham? I'm ALL about William and Kate now. They got a penguin for their wedding. It's endangered. The zoo really hopes they visit it.
You're such an accomplished investigoogler.
ReplyDeleteI kind of had the same thing happen, I didn't watch it and thought it was all much ado about nothing. I taped the Dateline special so my girls could watch it. I got completely sucked in. Funny about the penguin, I just read a delightful book called, "The Tower, The Zoo and the Tortiose." Evidently countries give the royals animals all the time and for awhile they housed the royal menagerie at the Tower of London. It makes for diplomacy even trickier when an animal another country gifted you dies an untimely death.
ReplyDeleteWAS so handsome, you mean. His paternal genes are starting to show. But! Still a classy gent.
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing this very interesting research. I feel like I know and like them better.
Hey I just saw that you were chosen as the most humorous blog on Studio 5. Congrats! I felt super cool cuz I already read this here blog. :) Thanks for helping me feel cool.
ReplyDeleteha, great detective work! The royal couple just left for their honeymoon, right? hope they have a great time
ReplyDeleteI loved this wedding! I really didn't think it would be as cool as it was. I used to think it was really gay that so many people were into the Princess Diana/Charles stuff, but now I see how it happens, little by little it just sucks you in.
ReplyDeleteI liked them too and had fun looking around the internet one day for info about them. Cute couple.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Princess Diana ever slept on her face when she was "playing" with William and Harry, or did her nanny do it for her? Can you find that out for me?
ReplyDeleteFunny post. Loved the wedding. The dress was beautiful. I'm really happy to know about the fabric of William's suit. Sweat stains would be so unsightly for wedding.
