The Big Wedding is now a the Town Hall. Is Windsor a hamlet?, a town?, a village? a city? How big is the Town Hall?

Oh, it can <b>get</b> more bizarre! (Especially, since I didn't think it was that bizarre to begin with.)
Here are my suggestions to make it more bizarre.
* Midgets
* Charles and Camilla getting dressed up in body paint chanting around a fake volcano
* Crazy bloodthirsty clowns
* Pirates
I apologize... Normally I can come up with better examples of bizarreness.. I'll return later, after I've rested a bit...

Windsor is a very nice town. The reason the wedding was moved to the Town hall is because it is going to be a civil ceremony - not an Anglican service. There are rules that any venue that holds civil ceremonies must be recognized and then anyone else has a right to have their ceremony there too.
That would mean that if the civil ceremony was allowed/held in Windsor Castle - the Queen would be having lots of company because anyone else who got the idea could demand having their wedding there too.
Could turn out to be a logistical nightmare.
So they are hitching up officially at the Town Hall and then having a commemoration of some sort and parties in the castle.

I guess it's this place - - http://www.thamesweb.co.uk/windsor/g...uildhall01.htm
I wonder if the happy couple will come here to Travel Talk for advice on their honeymoon itinerary?
I would love to wish them - - as I customarily do, to betrothed questioners here..
Congratulations on your new life in marriage...
LOL...
Best wishes,
Rex

Rex: I mean this in the nicest possible way: GAG ME!!
And Peeky: Who knows? England is filled with ghosts, why shouldn't Princess Di join the ghostly crowd and have a little fun at the newlyweds' expense?
and Cigale: very amusing indeed!
Okay, I believe the cocktail hour is about to commence-ciao! a dopo!

BTW, I read today that the Queen has put her royal foot down regarding a lot of the arrangements.
The lovebirds wanted romantic round dining tables at the reception, Her Majasty declared there will be the long rectangle formal table that is used for all state functions. No round romantic table seatings, no, no!!
Charles planned on having organic grown vegtables served, evidently his Mum said "NO!" Wonder what that was all about?
I can't remember what the other silly things were but as the article said "What the Queen wants the Queen will have".
Oh my, I would think by this time Carmella would be thinking that it would be so much simplier to just continue living with Charlie.

LoveItaly, I understand that Charles was hoping to chat with the vegetables between speeches. They're especially bred for this purposes by Duchy of Cornwall Enterprises Ltd., and he's found that it works with potplants. Given the circles he moves in, they're often the most intelligent discourses he he can find. Her Majesty vetoed the arrangement on the grounds that she was reluctant to set conversational precedents.

Neil, I am cracking up here!
If I'm not careful, I do start to feel a little sorry for Charles. How must it be to have 1/4 of the world snickering at you, 1/4 furious, and 1/2 entirely indifferent (more or less)?
