Royal Schmoyal...I had that kind of wedding too!

The similarities are UNCANNY:

My wife got up early to watch the Royal Wedding so I watched it with her. I can't help but see the similarities between my wedding forty-five years ago and this wedding. For instance: 

1. William and Kate traveled to the wedding in separate Rolls Royce's and we traveled to ours in Joan's dads Nash Rambler station wagon. 
2. Kate's wedding dress was made by a team of top dressmakers of England and Joan got hers at Penny's Outlet. 
3. William got Kate's ring from his mothers jewelry collection and I purchased Joan's ring at the Warehouse of Zurkonia (I still have two payments left). 
4. They were married at West Minster Abby and we were married at Holy Redeemer church (38th and Hampton). 
5. Officiating for the Royals was the Archbishop of Canterbury and we had a hippy priest. 
6. After the ceremony William and Kate were taken to the reception at Buckingham Palace by horse drawn carriage and we were taken to our reception at the V.F.W in my father-in-laws Nash Rambler station wagon.
7. William and Kate's wedding cake was made by a team of famous pastry chefs ours was bought at Mrs. Karl's Thrift Store. 
8. They will serve their guests the finest champagne and we gave ours free cheap beer (Old Milwaukee). 
9. They will honeymoon on a private Caribbean island and we spent Saturday night and  all day Sunday at Wisconsin Dells (we had to work on Monday). 

Its uncanny the similarities.

God Bless,
