I was just talking about this with my roommate. My guess was that, as a sort-of head of state (sub-head, maybe.... but more important than a vice president, to be sure), a major world event like a pope dying (which is like 9/11 or greater level in its world significance) is cause to postpone your wedding, I'd say.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
When William was filling out the ledger for Eaton, he leaned over to his mum and asked, "What religion are we?"
Eton--unless he was applying to a stationery company. :)
Great anecdote, though--snerk.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Actually, I think they make nice face-to-face and then roll their eyes forever and make little "What. Ev." handsigns behind each other's backs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Charles and Camilla aren't having a big to-do, are they? I think it would just look a little tacky -- "WOO HOO! I mean, we're terribly sad about the Pope, but... WOO! WEDDED BLISS AND SHIT!!"
I was really old before I learned how to pronounce Eton. One of those things that was in books, but nsm conversation.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I was really old before I learned how to pronounce Eton.
It was the silent "qhx" dipthong that always messed me up on that word.

I thought it was Eh-ton. I knew the Brits pronounced things funny -- sinjin and Beauchamp and whatnot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I learned the pronunciation from Withnail and I.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't know what I was watching, but apparently Charles & Camilla are actually going to the Town Hall (can't do it at the church, and were they to do it at the estate, then every old Tom, Dick & Harry could by virtue of it being licensed) where they will sit in some tiny little clerk's office. And the Queen said she will not attend because she is head of the church.
