Why wasn't there a swordfight at the Royal Wedding?

[DerekG]

Maybe I've watched too many fantasy flicks, but when I see royalty, cathedrals, and beautiful ladies, I expect some serious shit to go down.

3. Jousting.

Now, more than ever, the world needs more jousting. :)

8. No, I think he's serious.

[Supply Side Jesus]

5. Or a poisoned chalice?????

[Riftaxe]

6. No sex threads in the Lounge! (nt)

7. You'll have to settle for the Battle of the Hats. n/t

9. The English are civilized, that's why. Not like some americans.

You need to go out to the bar, and kick back a good amount of brew.
Then, if nothing happens, go home and watch cage wrestling.

10. some serious shit did go down -

they signed away the rest of their lives :o

[trof]

11. ENGARDE! TOUCHE'!

[jmowreader]

12. That could have been interesting...

Get whoever is the best fencer in the Royal Family and put him up against Bruce Dickinson, who is one of the best fencers in all England.

13. That would have been pretty badass.

Some rogue knight challenges William at the altar, so Will whips out his sword and has at it, while Harry has his back against any other attackers. Then Will runs the challenger through, places his foot on the fallen knight's body, then finishes his vows to Kate. After which, he'd take her hand and they'd run down the aisle, outside the church, and jump onto Will's trusty steed and race off to the castle. That would have been totally awesome.

I should write fiction.

14. "My name is Inigo Windsor! You killed my father. Prepare to die!"

[valerief]

15. Think of all the people who'll starve or not get healthcare because so much UK taxes go

to the royals.

That should make you feel better.

16. They could at least salt in some jousting.

Jousting fucking rocked.

I might have watched if they'd have tossed in a random bit of jousting.
