King of Bhutan Marries




The King of Bhutan marries a 'commoner.' The Royal Wedding, as described by an admiring youth, was full of Buddhist traditions and ancient rites. The wedding date, which was scheduled to take place on the 13th, starting at 8:20 a.m. was carefully orchestrated by Bhutanese astrologists. At the wedding Monks chanted, children read poems, and people danced in celebration.
