This was the cover of the magazine I work for circa the wedding of Prince Charles and the then Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. Ahh, nostalgia. Wedding mania has reached fever pitch amongst my colleagues today in the lead up to Prince William and commoner(!) 'Catherine' (no, you can't be casual 'Kate' anymore, apparently...) Middleton's pending nuptials this weekend. I'm going to go with, half the population of our floor are currently adorning themselves with positively Brit-esque handmade fascinators fashioned from ribbon and the occasional streamer. Which has consequently rendered any attempts at serious discussion highly distracting. There have been whispers afoot of celebratory parties this eve involving Union Jack bunting, an abundance of themed cupcakes and in one bordering-disturbing case cut out dolls of 'Kate and Wills' atop a custom-made cake. You've gotta admire our patriotism as fellow citizens of the Commonwealth. (I think).
Seriously though people... hats off.
*Or more correctly, on, if my surroundings are anything to go by.
