Seriously, where is the drama and why bother? The bride and groom already done the deed, you dig?
William, oh, dear, is this guy even 30 yet? Talk about, uh, prematurely thin on the stovepipe! But, who noticed anyway? Once again, proof that the wedding is all about the bride as he could've showed up naked and riding a donkey and no one would've noticed.
Is Kate freaking out yet and wondering if she end up like Di?
In any case, gotta love the employment provided by the wedding. I think every gay man in Britain was put to work!

Monkey tricks
The Bolivian squirrel monkeys love snatching sunglasses from visitors. The London Zoo in London decided they had to be weaned from this naughty habit. They smeared bitter apple on sunglasses and left them lying about for the Bolivian squirrel monkey to find. These monkeys dislike anything that has a sour taste.
The Bolivian squirrel monkey is only 10 1/2 to 12 1/2 inches long with a 15 to 16 1/2 inch tail. Its tail is longer than its head and body but it is very slim. The tip however is bushy and black. Thismonkey's face is small and white with a large forehead. Its head crown is dark and it has a black nose tip and muzzle.
Bolivian squirrel monkeys live in groups called troops. Their troops average 40 to 50 members and may reach up to 200. The troops of squirrel monkeys are the largest and most active of the monkeys that inhabit the Americas. They are noisy, twittering and clucking. The large troops have smaller peer groups.
Actor Emilio Estevez Hard at Work on Latest Production — Wine Making
 When Estevez purchased the property, the home was dominated by a water-thirsty lawn, so he came up with a unique plan to replace it with something more drought-friendly and productive. "I started getting these ridiculously high water bills," Estevez told the Your California Radio Show. "So I had this crazy idea to dig up the lawn and plant a vineyard." He says crazy idea, because most of his family and friends told him it was such. But now, it's Estevez who is literally enjoying the fruits of his labor. He said his water bill dropped substantially to about $70 a month, and the property is growing a useful product—something the lawn wasn't providing. The vineyard has also given the Hollywood star a new focus.  Estevez especially likes the Viognier, calling it the star of the Casa Dumetz line. "Sonja has just been nailing the Viognier for the last couple of years," he said referring to his partner Sonja Magdevski. LISTEN TO THE FULL RADIO INTERVIEW: His respect for the wine industry shows in his marketing approach. While many stars choose to use their famous names as a way to bring recognition to their projects, you won't find any current photos of Estevez, nor any clear references to him on the winery's website or bottle labels.  "There's a lot of people that will buy something just based on a celebrity endorsement or a celebrity name on a product," Estevez said. "But, we wanted the wine and the product to speak for itself." You can currently find Casa Dumetz wines at a number of locations around Southern California and the Central Coast. The winery does not operate a tasting room at the moment, but Estevez said they are hoping to put one together. He expects it to be somewhere along the growing Malibu wine trail within the next couple of years.
