Lessons Learned from the Royal Wedding

Dear Friends,

It was my absolute pleasure to enjoy the excitement of the Royal Wedding. Their romantic fairy tale extravaganza excited hopeless romantics worldwide, and got me to work right after I saw that balcony kiss. As I've said before, there is no "off switch" for a matchmaker. Here are three lessons about courtship, courtesy of the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge:

Lesson 1: Being "elite" is not about birthright!

Kate's family owns a small business and is generally considered upper middle class. In past centuries, Royals only married other Royals. Kate is intelligent, articulate, and accomplished - it is these latter qualities that make her a match for the Prince...and boy, do they look beautiful together. But, it's most important to acknowledge that a solid woman like Kate wouldn't cave to the pressures of media exposure, or to the dark temptations of luxurious living. True love is not preset by where you were born or where you live, but rather by who you are and who you have become.
