A fairytale wedding..!
Robert Clements
Sunday, May 01, 2011 - How incredibly moving the royal wedding ceremony of William and Kate was the other day, wasn’t it? The handsome prince and his beautiful bride! There must have been tears in the eyes of many of you as you watched them both at Westminster Abbey and after. As I watched the magnificent function, with its share of pomp and pageantry, as I heard the choir raising the rafters, I thought like everyone else the world over, that here was a fairytale wedding!
But weddings aren’t all fairytale are they? “Hey Kate!” shouts Willy from the royal bathroom a few days later, “which side you press the toothpaste from?” “The middle silly!” “Yeah but we Windsors press it from the bottom!” And those are some of the little things, which end the fairytale!A few years back, I was called to release a book, called ‘Marriage and Courtship’ and since I had to speak on the book, I had to read the book, and at the end of it, I realized how little I’d known about marriage before I’d got into it. One portion that I’ll never forget is the author reminding his readers that marriage was like a company you invested into, and all the investments you put into your nest egg gave huge returns later. “So Kate and William…” “Hey it’s William and Kate!” shouts the prince. “No it’s Kate and William!” shouts the princess. And I hear the good voice of the author, “Does it matter?”
No it doesn’t, in marriage it’s a fifty-fifty partnership, where the husband and wife play God given roles, I mean the wife still bears the baby right, and the husband has an equal responsibility in raising the kids. I met a couple two nights ago and the husband said to me, “She’s the dominating partner in our marriage!” “Are you happy with it?” I asked him. “Yes,” said the husband, “But the world isn’t!”
Therein lies the problem. So lets bring in Kate and William with their toothpaste issue again: “Hey Kate!” shouts Willy from the royal bathroom, “which side you press the toothpaste from?” “The middle silly!” “The middle!” says William thoughtfully to himself, “maybe I’m not used to the middle but maybe it’s the Middleton way, and why not make it my way too!” That would be the beginning of a fairytale marriage..!
