YOu know...I was going to defend those folks for being poor and having the best wedding they could afford...then I noticed the tube tope and tiara....and the wifebeaters.
By the time I got to the cake I was done!

It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity.-- G.K. Chesterton
