The Royal Wedding - Until We See Them

We (which, of course, includes me) are all too modern and sophisticated to be duped by the deceiving attractions of the institution of marriage, religion, architecture, music, ceremony, military pageantry and Royalty. And then we see them and find ourselves gawping and weeping because they touch the most profound instincts. I'd rather trust those instincts (often driven by the visual and the auditory) than the superior and purely intellectual notions that tempt us to despise them.
