The Royal Wedding Night

[BaalChatzaf]

After the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were lodged in their wedding night suite they bedded down. The Duchess offered the Duke her honor. The Duke honored the offer of the Duchess. Honor, offer, honor, offer and so it went all night long.

Ba'al:

An oldie, but a goodie.

One commentator explained that the wedding night was the first presentation of the Royal Sceptre.

1873 Portrait of Emperor Peter II of Brazil, holding the very large Imperial Sceptre, and invested with other items of the Brazilian Crown Jewels

Hmmm

Yes, the old jokes are really the best jokes. As the actress said to the bishop.

Well, I don't know about the "sceptre," given what was hidden by that red uniform. But it's clear that the genetics of Kate Middleton's family ended up allowing her to provide a quite respectable pair of "orbs" for the ceremony {rat-a-tat-BING} ... Love-er-ley dress, dear!

Lest we forget the true import of this day (hat tip to J. Kent Hastings) —
