Yes, it was very modest. I just think that with all that money and of the billions of styles of dresses and how huge the hype was, she chose a very plain dress.

You know that royalties can't show cleavage or run around sleeveless on their wedding day, right? :)

I think the dress was fine. I'm kind of glad she didn't get a huge *** dress that needed 5+ people to carry it around.

I don't really know how it's possible Americans wouldn't know about the many monarchies in Europe. It's pretty basic history.

Then I should rephrase that. They don't know about the contemporary royals of other regal houses in Europe.

Sylph.Beelshamen said:
Also your "problem" that US coverage of this wedding is much bigger than Victoria's wedding is because the British royal house is far more important, influential and has a much richer history than that of the royal house of sweden or any other in Europe.

Besides that, I could remind you that the US have had a VERY intimite relationship with Britain since and before its existence. Not THAT long ago, the people that would become Americans paid allegiance to the British throne.

I beg to differ. All monarchy throughout Europe has made contributions in shaping Europe. Warring principalities in Europe after the Protestant Reformation formed the Edict of Worms which basically set the Catholic/Protestant lines, the Prussian Empire and Austro-Hungarian Empire laid the lines for Central and Eastern Europe, etc...

Thanks for the US History lesson, but that's a pretty obvious one. If we're going to get into US History, you conveniently forgot that the Spanish monarchy funded Columbus's expeditions, and Spain was the first to colonize South, Central America and the US, then the French and then the British.

All I can say about this, is it really needs to get the hell out.

It's made my Mortal Kombat 9 arrive even later. They're a bunch of rednecks anyway, who even cares if they get married. I needa Fatality someone much more than they need to get married.

I said most important, I didn't diminish the role other monarchies have played in shaping Europe. You really "beg to differ" with me on that the British royal house was the most powerful and influential, and they've retained the most prestige after all these centuries?

If that's so our short discussion is over. :)

Also the Protestant Reformation started in the 15th century, the British throne was active hundrerds of years before.

I'm aware and many other monarchies are older than the British one, but you did seem to be snide about my interest in Victoria of Sweden. That may just be your way of going about it though.

Done with you.

Well, you can't show your shoulders or anything above the knee in a Catholic church. Dunno if it's the same in those crazy British churches, though. ;D

I did. Uri's my wingman, and he's gotta be on his game if I want a princess.

And I'll have to remember that

I have to assume it's a double reference for this episode. We always make wingman jokes and this episode is perfect for this instance.
