I Hear Wedding Bets

They say everyone loves a wedding and in case you hadn't heard, there's a rather large one on in London tomorrow. 

Apparently, a lot of people also like betting on weddings.  According to a British bookie, a lot of people who know they will be made to watch the wedding are "keeping it interesting" by placing bets.  You can get the following odds from William Hill:

 2/1 The train on the dress will be less than 8 feet (good to see the UK using that metric system they taught me about at school 40 years ago)
 7/4 "Waitie Katie" will only keep him waiting 3 minutes before arriving...(and he won't be the only one saying "Phew" - when it's on TV, a quick wedding's a good one...)
 3/1 Kate to say William's names in the wrong order
 5/1 James Blunt's You're Beautiful to be played for the Wedding Dance (and if that's not scary enough, it's 8/1 on Bryan Adams, God forbid)
 8/1 William to have a beard during church service
 8/1 Prince Phillip falls asleep ( that's come in from 40/1 - he must have heard that they might be playing James Blunt or Bryan Adams at the reception)
18/1 Kate's Wedding Wedding shoes to have RED soles
19/1 Prince Harry to catch the bouquet
20/1 Kate To Have Twins
21/1 To Be Seen In A Night Club On Night/Early Hours Of Their Wedding Day
22/1 That William Splits his trousers as he bends down in the church
23/1 Carole Middleton to be snapped Chewing Gum during the service
24/1 Harry Drops The Ring During the service
30/1 William To wear Glasses In Church
33/1 Harry not to make/finish his speech due to being inebriated
38/1 Prince Harry To Forget The Ring

All that's missing is a dopey song called something like: Willie's Getting Married, At Last
