Just a small affair today in Windsor:
Charles and Camilla have had their wedding blessed in a ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
About 800 of the couple’s family and friends attended including the Queen and Prince Philip.
Earlier, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, as she is now known, were married in a private civil ceremony at the Guildhall in Windsor.

During the service, the couple made their pledges, including a promise to be faithful to each other.
Earlier, they joined the congregation in repenting: “We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we, from time to time, most grievously have committed, by thought, word and deed.”
Attended by a better man than I would have been in the circumstance:
Other guests at the blessing of prayer and dedication, which was attended by friends, family and dignitaries from around the world, included Prime Minister Tony Blair and the Duchess of Cornwall’s ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles.

Yes, the man who was married to today’s bride back when the Prince was ignoring his Princess Diana to have an affair with Mrs. Parker Bowles.
One can’t help but wonder, what was the ex-husband thinking and feeling during the “repentence” part of the ceremony…
