I just thought I would like to congratulate the royal couple on their engagement.
No, I really do. Good for them.
But I would like to point out to every single newspaper and TV channel in the UK and probably most of the world that this is not ground breaking or important news. FFS this wedding is about 6 months away and my tiny mind is already fed up to the eyeballs with all the press and publicity. I was wondering what the Pervy Council make of the newsworthiness of this story... and possibly the attitude we have towards the people involved. (in particular those non-Brits amongst the clan)
This whole whirlwind of the past 24-ish hours has made me slightly nervy and emotional as I personally hate so much talk of weddings and marriage up-front, in-my-face, for many different reasons, which I kind of guess most of you know about. (if not, there will be a post on my own blog soonish explaining more)
I would just like to inform all my fellow Pervy Councillors that when... ooooops MAJOR typo there...that IF I ever get married my 'story will be sold only to the Pervy Council website and of course every single one of you is invited. If the twitter hash tag of #royalwedding is good enough for William and Kate, I suggest that IF the big day ever arrives my hash tag should me #annisFINALLYgettingmarried (emphasis on the finally part - me and the BF has been together 13 years now and am getting seriously itchy)
*BTW when I say itchy I don't mean I have some kind of contagious disease, I mean that I am wondering when the fuck it is going to happen...
Totally agree with you , there is no need for the over saturation about Wills and Kate. I have nothing against them Im simply not interested in anything they do. There are many things more newsworthy and causes etc that could use the publicity lavished upon this privilged pair. On your own personal wedding front after 13 years do you really need a wedding? Your obvioulsy committed to each other anyhow. And if you do then you have to make it happen organise it all behind his back and just get him their on the day!!!!!! surprise surprise as Cilla would say.
ReplyDeleteGiven we have known via tabloid bullshit press that W&K were going to wed (for what? 5 years now?) and every few months a new source close to the couple who couldn't be named have been saying it's going to happen this spring/next summer/when Saturn in alignment with HM's favorite corgi's anus, I was over it before the announcement was actually made.
ReplyDeleteLike you, m'lady Forky, I wish the couple well - if fortune should favor any couple, it ought to be them - v.v big things ahead for him, inevitable comparisons to Di ahead for her...
HM Elizabeth II, on the other hand, I have a great deal of time, respect and sympathy for, what a woman. She was not meant to be Queen, she has a nightmare of a family and she has had to watch Britain become decidedly less great throughout her reign through no fault of her own.
She I will miss when she is gone from us. The others....? WHATEVER.
And WHEN you get married, Forky, naturally I will be officiating ... ?
Thank you ladies for your comments. I think many people are saying exactly the same thing (which in some ways is reassuring)
ReplyDeleteAs for my own (potential) wedding, I will of course need a Chaplain and you are the finest one around Miss Cadet! And Bitsy, although I do kind of agree that I don't *need* one, I am now at a stage in my life when I feel like I need some security, some stablity and maybe (even just on a mental side) being married would mean so much to me....
A difficult thing indeed, Miss Ann. I am inclined to agree with Bitsy; if you've asked before and he hasn't relented, just organise it for him! Of course, he may not respond favourably. Er. You can but try. Or perhaps you should explain to him how important being married is to you. I see both sides of the marriage argument, but would prefer to get married, m'self, if only to make the family tree neater on paper.
ReplyDeleteAs for the wedding of Wills & Kate, well, whatever. There's always a hullabaloo surrounding the royal family in whatever they do, and it's frankly amusing (though probably a terrible pain in the arse to them). I think my favourite part of the news is Kate demanding to be called Catherine from now on. If your name was frigging Catherine in the first frigging place, why the frig did you ask to be called Kate with a "K"??????????????
*well pleased to have been granted privilege of officiating at Forky's nuptials...panics a bit in realisation that has so legal authority in real world...concedes...*
ReplyDeleteBugger it, Forky, we'll have a ceremony anyway, here... in the main piazza of Juan (will do you a drawing).
NEVER let reality get in the way of a good time, I say... (usually to own detriment)
