British Prince Secures British Wife

The Royal Wedding of the 21st Century is afoot. His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales, Knight of the Garter (a/k/a Flight Lieutenant William Wales, a/k/a Prince William) shall marry Miss Catherine Middleton (a/k/a Kate to her fans) on the 29th of April, the Friday after this Easter Sunday.

As the press would say, the young couple are under epic pressures as the big day approacheth. Their royal calendars overfloweth with appointments and last-minute details. Royal guards braceth for security threats of every kind.

These two very privileged young folks are confirmed to take stage for the benefit of the monarchy, the crown, and most importantly, Grandma. This despite the watchdog press discovery that the among the wedding planners "no one had the sense" to check the date.

Father of the groom-to-be, Prince Charles, and his wife, a tattooed Camilla, have relaxed into their roles as hosts of the affair. The parents of the bride, Carole and Michael Middleton, have submitted their very sweet contribution. Best man Prince Harry is struggling while maid of honor Pippa Middleton shed her qualms.

Predictably and as per cue, Kate has the jitters and William has knocking knees. Neither condition will halt the production at Westminster Abbey or prevent the issuance of official merchandise and currency.

Will the marriage last? The gurus and professionals aren't asking.
