We've been wicked

CNN reported A solemn ceremony has blessed the wedding of the heir to the British throne Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, now the Duchess of Cornwall, at which the couple each pledged to be faithful to each other....

In the wedding blessing, the couple recited a line of repentance from the Book of Common Prayer, the inclusion of which is seen as an acknowledgment of their prior adultery. "We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we, from time to time, most grievously have committed, by thought, word and deed, against thy Divine Majesty, provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. "We do earnestly repent and are utterly sorry for these honest doings. The remembrance of them is grievous unto us. The burden of them intolerable."

At one point in the service, Williams asks the couple, first Charles and then Camilla, to be faithful to each other in their marriage and understand the covenant of marriage and recited words common in Western marriage ceremonies -- "for richer for poorer" and "for better for worse" and "till parted by death." Both were asked if they will have "resolved" to be faithful" and "forsake all others" as long as they live. And they both said separately "that is my resolve with the help of God."


And this wicked man thinks he should be the next King of England? ROF,L

Al Jazeerah reported Fashion experts were full of praise for mother-of-two Camilla, who wore an ivory silk coat over a chiffon dress for the ceremony, then a porcelain blue outfit for the blessing.
