The Royal Wedding is almost here and I don’t really give a shit.

I mean no disrespect.

Love is great and stuff. I hope those crazy kids are happy forever, or whatever. I’m totally on board with the idea this is important to people.

First, I get that the British love their monarchic, colonial traditions like weak chins and pretending not to be complicit in the continuing geopolitics of slavery.

Second, as a gay man, I’d never deny anyone joy brought about by an abundance of extravagant hats and uniforms. Spectacle is always respectable!

So, no judgment if you’re into it. That said…

It’s hard for me to get jazzed up about some ginger with an accent who I ultimately don’t care about marrying some woman whose name I routinely confuse with that of a German prime minister, which will result in them being (ax² + bx + c)th to the throne of a country I only actively care about through the lens of professional soccer.

The closest I can get to giving a shit is empathizing over their lack of say in their own wedding hashtag.

Which is a flimsy bridge into what I really want to write about:

Fake royal weddings and their subsequent details!
