Love, honour and.. obey?‏

Madness is running riot. This country has 
turned into a massive blob of romantic folly.
This must be a tough time for all those

allergic to weddings, marriages and all the lot.  
Interestingly enough, coveted monarchists or
last-stage
romantics are discovered when and where 
you least expect. But is it romance or just a 
publicity stunt? Who cares, as long as we have
a day off.  

Obey.. Interesting word, almost never used in 
wedding vows these days. I can't possibly imagine any of my friends obeying. Although it would be
easier, wouldn't it? Instead of spending hours and hours arguing and compromising, all that would be 
left to say would be 'yes, darling, as you wish'. And then bang the gardener or the pool boy in order 
to withstand yet another day of obedience. Good plan? Bad plan? We shall never find out.

There can hardly be a worse wedding situation than an event with the entire globe watching.. Add to
that that the whole marriage will be impossibly public.. And yet.. Who cares?? What goes own between 
two people (or three or four, as it happens) is nobody's business. If your own life is boring, read a book, 
do some charity work, don't stick your nose in others' laundry baskets! 

No, I haven't been drinking. Just overnauseous by sticky-sweetness nonsense. Time to go home.
PS
Once home, I found The Man with Union Flag bunting for the living room and a whole day of non-stop
niceness.. Maybe I should stop complaining..
