His majesty, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck (pronounced “Jigme Khesar Namgyel”) of Bhutan, 31 and his new Queen, Jetsun Pema, 21, appeared after their marriage ceremony in Punakha Dzong, Bhutan today. If you’ve never been to Punakha Dzong, you simply must go!
The King, who studied at Oxford, has been presiding over the democratization of Bhutan.
Oh, will you just look at the sheer joy on that face of hers (it’s hers, she paid for it), and the dread on his! It’s the happy couple, the Duchess of Alba and the new Duke, Alfonso Diez.
The bride, a beaming 85, wore a delicious lace front dress, the color of calamine lotion, complementing her embalmed complexion, with her hair whipped into a frothy latte foam bouffant. Alfie chose a somber gray mourning morning suit.
A beautiful bride…
And she took off her shoes and boogied on the red carpet for her fans! Ole!
I think the corn pads on her toes were a lovely touch.
It’s a beautiful day in Seville, where approximately 50 people will gather in the chapel of the Duchess of Alba’s 15th Century Palacio de las Duenas to witness her marriage to former civil servant Alfonso Diez, 61.
Crowds have gathered outside the palace, where designers of the duchess’ secret wedding dress made their way through a crowd of reporters. Photos will be released by the palace after the ceremony.
Meanwhile, a brisk business in wedding souvenirs included sales of t-shirts, badges, masks, wigs (!), and dolls in her likeness.
The duchess, 85 and twice widowed, is a strict Roman Catholic and said “that’s why I am marrying for a third time.” To appease her children, she gave them their inheritance and had Alfie sign a solid prenup.
King Juan Carlos has given the marriage his blessing.
According to a Spanish gossip site, guests will enjoy Spanish and British-inspired dishes including gazpacho, rice with spicy lobster, beef Wellington and rice pudding, and I suppose, Ensure martinis.
The couple is expected to honeymoon with a trip to the living room.
Lesbians and gays from all over the country lined up to be among the first to get married in New York.
Attorneys lined up to handle same-sex divorces.
Gay marriages have a better shot, so to speak.
According to figures released by the National Association of Gays and Lesbians, 50% of marriages currently end in divorce, but of gay and lesbian unions, only 17% end in divorce.
Among the factors accounting for the lower divorce rate among gays: not watching sports on TV.
“I’ve been baking a lasagna all day and you wanna eat Spaghetti Os? Heeeeeeeelllll no!”
That’s how it must have gone down this past weekend in the Kenai Peninsula area of Alaska when Benjamin Peterson’s live-in BF, Dustin Clark, chose to have a can of the horrid Os instead of Benny’s homemade lasagna, causing Ben to go off — breaking household items and throwing furniture, kicking a stove, and eventually breaking a glass door.
Don’t F with a bitch who’s been cooking for you all damned day!
According to an affidavit from Alaska State Trooper Michael Wilson, Clark called 911 on Saturday to report that his BF had assaulted him and was “enraged” and “freaking out” because of the Spaghetti Os.
Peterson was arrested on a criminal mischief charge, poor boy, and must have no contact with Clark, with whom he owns the home.
