Diamonds are forever... (forever... forever.) Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...
Well, no, not forever ever. But they are for your 60th Wedding Anniversary, an event celebrated today by the Queen of England, in a ceremony that hearkened back to the good old days of post-World War II England. And the Queen knows how to throw a party: Dame Judi Dench, poetry, Margaret Thatcher, and a candle lighting ceremony. They also commemorated the original ceremony:
The royal couple received more than 2,500 wedding presents, including a textile from Mahatma Gandhi which the Indian leader crafted himself and a casket-shaped crystal vase and cover from U.S. President Harry S. Truman.Unconfirmed sources say that she received the textile about the time she began her affair with Mohandas. Oh, the passion. The forbidden pleasure... He used to dip his bald head in oil and rub it all over her body. Her words, not mine.
