Quiet or even Boring Honeymoon?
Although in the midst of planning, wedding couples can hardly believe that a honeymoon could ever become boring, even the rich and famous, with all the choices they have, have found a honeymoon too quiet.
It started off with an unexpectedly quiet wedding as guests simply declined the invitation to attend the wedding of King Edward V111 and Wallis Warfield Simpson. Only very few friends decided to join them in their celebration.
The honeymoon was even quieter.
After an obligatory tour of Venice and Milan, the couple settled for three months in the Carinthian Mountains, in Austria. As the new duchess had a fear of flying – after seeing two air accidents when she was first married to Earl Winfield Spencer – any travel the couple undertook had to be either by land or sea.
Their honeymoon home was Castle Wasserloenburg, a fifteenth century castle in Austria, reportedly inhabited by the restless spirit of the ‘Bluebeard Duchess’. Like the original male Black Beard, the Bluebeard Duchess married often. And just as often her husbands didn't last long.
The King and Mrs. Simpson had asked for a quiet time to themselves, and received it with a vengeance. They spent much of their time walking or hiking as the area is noted for its wonderful scenery. It could be that the quiet outdoor life was not to the complete liking of the new wife, as she spent quite a few hours of the day writing letters to friends, and even her ex husband!

One mobile phone too many
Usually, before a celebrant begins a wedding ceremony he or she asks that the guests switch off their mobile phones.
At this particular wedding ceremony it was the marriage celebrant who hung on to her mobile throughout the whole wedding ceremony.
Why? Because instead of printing out the wedding ceremony in large, easy to read font, the celebrant chose to read the whole wedding ceremony from her mobile.
How successful was this? Not very.
1...She gave apologies from a number of invited guests unable to attend the wedding. The people she named were, in fact, sitting right in front of her.
2...Welcomed by name family members of the bride and groom attending the wedding. Wrong names again.
3...Mentioned a very close relative who had passed away very recently - except she got that name wrong too.
4...At times, in order to see, she held her mobile so close to her face that she appeared to be talking to the phone rather than the people in front of her.
Either this celebrant was incompetent, or the mobile phone was more of a nuisance than a helpful tool.
Marriage celebrants in Australia are charging fees up to $1,500. A couple should expect a much more professional job than this particular couple received from their mobile-phone-attached marriage celebrant.
Let me know what you think, and please share this post.
