The Royal Wedding. Have we reason to be worried ?

Some things set you thinking.
 
I met up with one of my good friends in Mayfair the other evening. Naturally, I don't need an excuse to take a drink or two. Whenever I meet up with this good gentleman, it's a plan.  He instinctively started to steer towards a pub.  I gently diverted our course to my preference  -   as always, a good, welcoming hotel.
 

Now there are many good hotels in Mayfair,and tonight we chose one of the best  ......  The Chesterfield.  One class hotel with staff who merit an award for their helpful attitude.
 

Soon we were happily ensconced and my friend was unhappily relating his ongoing misfortunes with his wife.  With a take on Rumpole, he refers to his wife as 'she who must be considered'.  Once passionately in love with his chosen life-partner, her former virtues have now dimmed into profound darkness,  and her previously hidden vices have surfaced into a demonic form that would do credit to a Hammer horror.  My friend's life is like a radio receiver stuck on a single channel that unremittingly broadcasts an unending diatribe of moaning, complaint, whinging, accusation, derision, sarcasm and backbiting.
 

He is totally fed up.
 

Still, he retains his innate good nature.  He says to me  - seriously  -  that if he wins the Lotto he will take me on a holiday with him to Antartica  -  at his expense.  I say nothing, but I guess that suggestion of destination Antartica is because that is about as far away as he can get from his wife.
 

Then he suddenly says:  "You know this Royal wedding next month?  Well, Prince William and Kate Middleton are getting married on April 29th.  Do you know what else hapened on April, 29th ...... ?
 

"Okay. It is the same date that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun got married  -  April 29th.  The following day they both topped themselves."
 

I thought for a moment.  I wondered ..... have we a reason to be worried?
 

Then he said, looking a little deflated: "I was married on April 29th . If on April 30th I had taken a cyanide capsule and a bullet in the head, I think my married life would have been short, but sweet.  Instead, marriage has been a slow-release poison without the benefit of a quick execution shot.
 

"I am never going to forget that date  -   and the reason has nothing to do with the Royal wedding."
