Also, I show you a very nice maximum card with a ROE-yal "wedding" from the Animal Kingdom, within the United Kingdom: The Roedeer (Capreolus capreolus)
"The European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus), also known as the Western Roe Deer or chevreuil, is an Eurasian species of deer. It is relatively small, reddish and grey-brown, and well-adapted to cold environments. Roe Deer are widespread inWestern Europe, from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, and from the British Isles to the Caucasus. It is distinct from the somewhat larger Siberian Roe Deer."

Bridal tiara and veil
The veil is held in place by a Cartier Scroll Tiara, made in 1936 and lent to Miss Middleton by the Queen.
It was purchased by the Queen's father, the Duke of York (subsequently King George VI) for his Duchess (later Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother) three weeks before succeeding his brother Edward VIII (Duke of Windsor) as King.
Princess Elizabeth (now the Queen) received the tiara from her mother on her 18th birthday.
Designed by Shane Connolly, the bride's shield-shaped wired bouquet contained myrtle, Lily of the Valley, Sweet William and hyacinth.[80]
Groom's uniform
Although William is a serving Royal Air Force flight lieutenant and also holds the equivalent Royal Navy rank of lieutenant and Army rank of captain, he chose instead to wear the full dress uniform of the Irish Guards displaying the rank of colonel.
William has been entitled to wear this uniform since 10 February 2011 when he was appointed the honorary colonel of the Irish Guards.[81]
Additionally he wore the peaked hat of the Irish Guards, rather than the bearskin.
As a Knight of the Order of the Garter, he wore the order's blue riband, to which was affixed hisRAF wings and Golden Jubilee Medal.[82]
The uniform was made by the Savile Row tailors Gieves & Hawkes.
William did not wear a sword as he was entering a church."

In the Animal Kingdom, "wedding" is very simple, although courtship can be quite extensive.
They don't need any priest - their wilderness is PRIEST-ine enough...
