Damn, that's good, sir.
We must remember that this is a wedding of great import to the Crown. The revenue brought in from tourists and guests will more then pay off the cost of the wedding.
Deportment is essential, all must behave themselves to show the world how important this wedding is. To invite anyone that may cause the under class of the people to miss behave as in Charles and Camelias latest unfortunate accident cannot happen.
One must realise that in Britain, one has to know their place, to have the royal couple in a horse drawn carrage on the way to be married and some low life sticks her in the side with a common stick, as her soon to be stepmother was would be a world of embarasment---especially if the royal wedding dress were damaged.
Naturally we Americans are fascinated with the royalty that still hangs on there after hundreds of years, darn we threw the blighters out 200+ years ago and watched as the sun went down on British colony's.
Yet the stubborn forfathers of some Americans still hang on, pomp and circumstance.----I liked to have crapped my pants when I saw the wife of an American diplomat curtsy to the Queen here on American soil. How many men gave their lives so no American would ever have to do that.???
No hostility or guests that may invite hostility to the wedding of a family member.
Not so hard to figure out, This is not personal I would think, Obama and wife realise the problems that can come up if the were to attend.
Lets just get on with the show that may be the last Britain as a country gives to the world.
