Weddings

Who said Romanians can't afford a wedding as big as the royal one? The other day a twenty-eight-year-old MP married the twenty-five-year-old daughter of a local baron, their wedding being attended by exactly one thousand guests. The gifts were worth one million Euros. That should definitely change the British perception of Romania - there are rich people there too, not only beggars that cross the Channel to fill the streets of London and other important cities. The trouble is the former's wealth and snobbery are based on the latter's poverty and despair.
