OMG! It's really happening! Nazi Princess TayTay Swift-Swift is marrying handsome, rugged, and rich Trav Kelce! America will never be the same! Take that, England, with your dumb royal weddings and bill balls. All patriotic Americans will yawn and be kept up late by illegal fireworks for the nuptials or some holiday tomorrow. Who can say?
All this banging scaring the pets, and Attention Whur's Tay and Trav (or as we've dubbed them "Tray and Lor" or "Trailer," trash Madison Square Garden and) suck all the oxygen out of the nation with their big, fat, Greek god wedding.
I win! I'm best! Everyone's jealous!
Not since Led Zeppelin trashed MSG to film their The Song Remains the Same live album has the venue seen so much recorded action.
Good luck and best wishes to the couple! Take some time off, Taylor! You should relax, not make music for a long time, spend your billions. Thanks for the $26 mil in write-off donations! The commoners will eat tonight and survive another day on this green earth. Thank you! Whatever your motive, it's good to give! Even a bad motive is somewhat counter-weighed by a good gift. Giving makes everyone richer, now the recipient, in time the giver.
The Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Celebration, held in honor of the composer’s 147th birthday, will feature two special performances showcasing the Black-English composer’s sacred [Vedic] choral music and his masterpiece Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast.
Curated and conducted by Artistic Director Dr. Zanaida Robles, “Sacred Choral Music of Coleridge-Taylor and Robles” will take place Friday, August 12 at 7:00 pm.
“Music Sunday! Church Service featuring Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast” will take place Sunday, August 14 at 10:00 am. Both events will be held at Neighborhood Unitarian Universalist Church in Pasadena.
The program features a cross section of sacred works, including two settings of Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by Coleridge-Taylor and Robles, and Robles’ Ecstatic Expectancy with percussionist Dave Tull, which blends classical choral music with rock improvisation.
“Music Sunday! Church Service featuring Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast” includes music by Native American composers set alongside Coleridge-Taylor’s multi-cultural fusion of Native American legend, classic American poetry, and English late-Romantic music.
The text for Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast comes from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1885 poem, "The Song of Hiawatha." While there is much to criticize about his blatant appropriation and flagrant alteration of several aspects of Native American culture... More

Today (Friday, July 17, 2020) the couple tied the knot surrounded by loved ones at All Saints Chapel in Windsor Great Park.
The Queen was in attendance at the secret ceremony, in addition to the Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Beatrice’s parents [accused child molester] Prince Andrew [friend of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Don "John" Trump, Billy-Goat Clinton, and famous attorney Alan Dershowitz, who all frequented Pedophile Island] Duke of York and the Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, all of whom adhered to strict social distancing guidelines, the Palace claimed.

The couple were originally supposed to wed in May, but the wedding reception was cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Mr. Mapelli Mozzi proposed to Beatrice in September when the couple travelled to Italy for a weekend break.
Following the news of their engagement, the couple released a statement through Buckingham Palace, which read: “We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement.
“We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together and can’t wait to be married.
“We share so many similar interests and values and we know this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness.”

Watch South Asia's version of the William and Kate wedding as the beloved monarch of the last Buddhist Himalayan kingdom in the world (Bhutan), King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck, marries his bride, Jetsun Pema (not to be mistaken with the Dalai Lama's little sister, the elderly activist, author, and Central Tibetan Administration Cabinet Member Ama Jetsun Pema) in an ancient Buddhist ceremony at the country's most sacred monastery fortress.
What will break up the royal couple of LA's Black Meghan Markle and Ginger Harry?
Meghan Markle sparkles.
The British had sex? And they cheated on each other? And all of that before the Sixties' Sexual Revolution? And the Royals are more rapacious, perverse, and adventurous than the average subject/citizen on the tiny British Island (that on account of its small size expanded to the world's largest empire, now defunct and being replaced by US)? This documentary is part of the "Forbidden Britain" series (BBC Two, November 1994), an episode entitled "Affairs." It's all the more current with the marriage of Los Angeles' own Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and her bad mouthing dumb Trump's policies. We love our princess, even if she is marrying into an odd family of lovable albeit elitist nutters.

Royal wedding merch: Harry and Meghan condoms, anyone?
Some people will love the sex products -- for others they'll be the definition of "wrong" (so wrong)
My redheaded boy is finally growing up.
Royal weddings often bring out the more eccentric side of the British character. This can manifest in many ways, including:
(a) Developing a sudden desire to have a street bash with neighbours you've never spoken to before (other than to say "Ello, luv" when you find yourself putting the rubbish bins out on the curb at the same time)
(b) Watching two strangers tie the knot on the tele and having me mates over to "celebrate" by watching British reruns:
The Benny Hill Show WARNING: Sexy depictions of traditional gender roles once popular on U.S. television!
(c) Thinking it's probably OK to drink ale for breakfast as long as it's out of a commemorative mug.
Meghan, we can call him West
While Will's and Kate’s wedding back in 2011 spawned a personalised pizza pie and some souvenir batts (AA), Harry and Meghan Markle memorabilia is scaling new heights of silliness.
In fact, this time around, it seems there’s more weird and wonderful wedding paraphernalia than ever before.
It does of course include the much-derided, unwittingly risqué Harry and Meghan one-piece bikinis [and "Crown Jewels" bran condoms].

How Quitting Catholicism Helped Me Get the Mental Health Treatment I Needed
Thank God I got out of God's House.
I learned at a young age that obedience to God is the key to a great life.
My family raised me as a non-denominational Christian, though we attended an A.M.E. church and later converted to Catholicism.
My earliest memories are littered with reading, musing about life in a notebook hidden underneath my mattress, and church, lots of church.
I was always in church, not just Sunday services. Fellowship afterward eating fried birds, cornbread, collards, an assortment of cakes and pies was a must.
Sunday school, Wednesday evening Bible study, Saturday afternoon activities. Church, school, and home were the three places my presence was mandated.
These were the supposed keys to leading a good life, a life in which I was happy, not just spiritually, but mentally, emotionally, and psychologically, too.
Your idols died for you...so feel guilty.
I fell in line without questioning anything because I wanted the happiness this life promised.
Church was at the hands of my mother, whose devout faith stems from her southern Baptist upbringing in Huntsville, Alabama. Even though she’s a spiritual mother, she is not nurturing or well-equipped to parent the emotionally sensitive person I am.
When I came to her for advice, her answer always involved a variation of "Everything happens for a reason" and "It’s time to pray." She also told me to make sure I diligently read my Bible, attended, church regularly, and faithfully tithed my 10% [of my money to the church]....
I stopped going to church
I stopped attending church around the fall of 2012. I lived without the restraint of religiosity choking me for two years, which coincided with an international move to Madrid, Spain, to teach English. It felt like freedom, but it also felt incredibly empty. I prayed very little those two years although I never stopped believing in God.....
Meditation
Christine Turlington (Vanity Fair)
I started meditating every morning and experimenting with other meditative states and practices.
From there, I researched crystals, as per the recommendation of a friend who had a large collection and bought my first ones -- citrine, green quartz, black obsidian. I felt really good. Great even for the first time in a long time. But eventually this blissful state wore off.
Depression
Depression first kills the will to resist it.
I went into a defensive fit of rage when my father suggested I was depressed. I couldn’t be depressed. I prayed. I meditated. I repeated my positive affirmations.
I even read certain passages of Marianne Williamson’s A Return to Love and Louise Hay’s You Can Heal Your Life in tandem almost every day. I was doing the hard inner-work every single day. So how could I be depressed?
I began to blame myself. My outer-world was reflecting my inner-world, so I had the power to shift it. Yes. This was on me. More
Search teams searching for "bad boy" in Japan Tokyo (CNN) Japanese soldiers have joined the search for a 7-year-old boy missing since Saturday in wild bear territory in the country's cold mountainous north.

However, when they returned he was gone. Abducted by kami (shapeshifters of Japanese lore)?
