A retired English soldier and an American actress have announced that they will be celebrating their union with a Sri Lankan sized wedding in England during Spring 2018.
The grandmother of the groom, Elizabeth the Second said, “As this will be a Sri Lankan sized wedding I have to act like a Lankan aachchi. I am glad that boy is getting married but couldn’t he have found a nice English girl? Why he has to go and marry a bloody foreigner I don’t know. I hope her parents are paying for the wedding though. Just because she was married previously it doesn’t mean they can pass the bill onto us. Even if they do though, I guess we can just pass the cost on to the public. I guess I’ll have to show how he likes to have his beef grilled. (Not a euphemism).”
The mother of the bride said, “I wanted him to marry a doctor, lawyer, engineer, accountant or a Minister’s son. But I guess royalty is now acceptable and is like marrying someone working in IT nowadays, despite his grandfather being a prone to the odd racist comment. We have a hired a Sri Lankan wedding planner to help manage the shindig as they are the only people who have experience in organising a nuptials on such a large scale. |The main differences are that everything will run to time and there will be less spicy food in the buffet.”
