#6 A reading from the Book of Revelation at the blessing of a wedding.

"the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication." (Rev. 17:1-2 KJV)

Yeah, that'll get you a invite to the reception afterward.

#8 Minister:
Dearly Beloved, we are assembled together today to celebrate the marriage of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. The couple requested that they be allowed to read a passage, expressing their love for each other.

Prince Charles and Camilla in unison:
We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, Which we, from time to time, most grievously have committed, by thought, word and deed, Against thy Divine Majesty, Provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us.

Camilla:
Now can we just get on with it, Reverend? We've suffered enough.

Minister:
Yeah, I see what you mean. With Diana totalling out and Harry dressing up as a Nazi and all. Hokay, lets move on.

#9 Paul, that was harsh. Very harsh.

It was also screaming hilarious.

Well done.

#10 The primary issue would be that the King of England is also head of the Church of England. A Crown Price who marries a divorcee, in this case Camilla, could never be head of the Church, so therefore could not be King, as Edward VIII so discovered in 1937. This blessing would appear to be an attempt to circumvent that convention.

#11 word is the Queen offered Camilla a post-honeymoon trip to Paris with a limo and driver. She declined
