  YankeeJim:

  Who's money is paying for all of this? Are your taxes involved? Do you have a say?

  Nowadays the monarchy is a good investment in Brand Britain. They carry forward that good old Yankee virtue: marketing.

  I wish good luck to the couple and hope they have a long, happy marriage. But, I've got one big gripe.... England spent 80 million pounds (US $133 million and change) on the wedding. Yet, not too long ago the queen asked for (and thankfully was refused) assistance from the government to pay the gas and electricity from the funds assigned to low-income people in need of assistance. Ignorance is bliss. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Queen-Elizabeth-Claims-Poverty-Asks-for-Help-to-Heat-Buckingham-Palace-158050.shtml
