It is strange, and somewhat amusing, that usually I do not care much for the Royals, not at all, and before the wedding said it does not mean anything to me. But when then watching TV summary, all of a sudden - I'm stunned, and moved and touched, no matter my cool blood and desinterest before. This is fascinating for me, since I cannot really explain it.
German press had two very good comments onm the wedding, the first by the conservative FAZ, more serious in tone and examining the meaning of these royal rituals for a nation that has no written constitution and currently is engaged in war actions in foreign countries, and the second comment (the title refers to the author, not the couple!) is more laid-back, perfectly describing the bewldering effect the wedding has had on the author - and happens to be the same effect on me. A nation reassures itself When the heart defeats the brain
