        Given the amount of time they’ve been dating each other, I suspect he already has. Numerous times.

        But yeah, let’s all pretend this is the Victorian era, and the bride is a blushing virgin, and not a young woman who’s gone to university and held a job.

          That’s right, she’s held exactly one job, and not for very long at that! But then I guess she knew he would marry her eventually so she didn’t have to try too hard. If she’s a virgin at 29 years old, I’m a monkey’s uncle :)

      From their FAQ- amusing!

      Why does it say Crown Jewels Condoms of Distinction may not be suitable as a contraceptive or barrier against STDs?

      The lawyers made us do it. Unfortunately, there is a forest of legal one must wade through to supply medical grade prophylactics – a good thing no doubt. Sadly, Crown Jewels Condoms of Distinction are not yet registered with the Department ofHealth and are therefore obliged to offer this disclaimer. However, since we expect members of the consuming public to keep our product for generations to come, we hope their Royal Souvenir value is adequate compensation for this frustrating legal position.

It is just so funny that they would make that mistake and then compound it with using the snarkiest picture of Harry possible-he is just leering at her like he is Henry the 8th the day after his brother died and she is Katherine of Aragon. The names are so coincidentally funny because Harry’s real name is Henry. And guess what-Wills’ middle name is Arthur and that was Henry VIII’s dead brother’s name. Creepy right? So sorry to bore people who don’t give a fuck about the royal family-I totally get your position.

      Not going to lie. I have actually wondered (in an I-really-don’t-give-a-shit kind of way) if Kate was pregnant. The engagement was sudden and has been fairly short and they have been shacking up on and off for years now.

        The *engagement* was sudden? Haven’t they been together for about 8 years? Pregnancy’s a definite possibility for quick wedding after engagement, but let’s face it. William is a royal. They’re bloody loaded. Months of planning and saving is not necessary here, granny pays for it and royal schills do everything else.

          Months of planning is extra necessary for a royal wedding. The security issues alone for an event where so many heads of state are gathered are a logistical nightmare. Think of how much work and planning go into the inaugural balls for the US president. Plenty of money for them and they happen every four years like clockwork but they still take a year to plan.

          They have been together on and off for about 8 years, the engagement came right on the heels of one of their “off” times.

          One reason for the rush was to avoid 2012 – the Olympics in London, the Queen’s diamond jubilee (60 years, assuming she’s still alive), and they’re hoping to have a child to put in an underground bunker in case they’re right about that Mayan Calendar thing.

          I wonder how much of the planning the couple actually takes part in. I mean do you think that the bride is actually getting to chose the colors of table clothes and such?

          With it being such an important thing I don’t see anyone allowing a royal to have an unusual wedding. What if they really, really wanted a Halloween theme?
