Why is "happilyeverafter" so prodigiously anomalous these days. Is it so bad for Charlene Whittstock to ask for a quiet, happy wedding before having to wake up to all the muck on her return from her honeymoon. Even more than this, is it so impossible for her to expect a happy marriage?
If the reports are indeed true, then I truly feel so sorry for our Benoni (Johannesburg) gal who yesterday tied the not with Prince Albert of Monocco. Seemingly this little man can't keep his zipper closed what with 2 children from other relations and a third possibly on the way and not with his fiancee. This banal tendency is not what we expect from the erudite but more and more these days it would seem these are futile expectations. Perhaps it is a god complex that makes the powerful imagine they are above reproach.On Thursday her dad was on our radio stations assuring us that all was fair weather in the Kingdom but not according to news paper reports who also quoted the father of the brides radio speech. What actually disturbed me most about this is that one of the reports mentions that she was at the airport with a one way ticket to SA when she was held and her passport confiscated so that the royal royal entourage could persuade her differently.
For her sake (and I believe Charlene is a wonderful girl) I hope this is all media hogwash otherwise I fear, this has all the earmarks of a perilous marriage about to begin. We, the serfs and the like (even if we're not residents of Monocco) stil want to believe in something perfect, true and otherworldly about royalty.Blame it on all that snow white, glass slipper and pea under 20 mattresses nonsense that was hammered into us growing up, we can't help it we being a products of our environment to a degree. Royals, pull your s*** together and give us the fairy-tale, we do not want a South African sequel to the Diana fiasco, poor girl.
