I think their behavioral pattern thus far indicates they'll be sleeping out in the woods in a tent, not in a hotel room.

English teeth

Traditionally a bride wears something old, new, borrowed and blue. But when Rachael Robinson got married it was simply a case of something recycled.
For the 30-year-old primary school deputy headteacher wore a dress made of bubble wrap when she tied the knot with Duncan Turner, 32.
As well as not costing her anything, anytime she got nervous during the ceremony she could pop a few bubbles to release the tension.
The dress used up 13ft of the packing material and was put together last month by pupils and parents at her school for a fashion show featuring recyclable materials.

They’re both TWO BAGGERS !!
Maybe if I put some bubble wrap under my pillow?
Actually, that looks fairly tasteful. I bet it made a heck of a racket as she walked down the aisle, but as someone else here noted, I’ve seen designs costing thousands that looked a lot worse. And for those criticizing the couples’ looks, you’ve been reading too many “People” magazines. This is what ordinary people look like. Not everyone is an overstyled, airbrushed wannabe-hollywood type. Indeed, a big part of most wedding picture packages is the “manipulation” performed by the photographer on the bride’s image before the prints are made: airbrushing, slenderizing, color manipulation, facial feature manipulation, etc etc.

English teeth
For most Britons, the teeth aren’t particularly uncared for, they just don’t have the hangups we do about perfectly straight, overwhitened teeth. Unless it’s a real disaster, they tend not to go for straightening.
Bubble wrap turned 50 years old this past January. She’s looking good for her age! LOL!
So the concept of Porcelain Veneers is alien to them?
Interesting design: Bubble Wrap Hat, very chic and you always have an eye for design.
I’m convinced that UK DNA is forever fornicated.
Not alien, they just don’t consider it as important. It helps to realize that we here in the U.S. have developed a severely distorted view of what a healthy human looks like over the past 30 years or so, thanks to advertising and entertainment imagery. Marketers have closely studied human habits and characteristics to more carefully tailor campaigns for effectiveness. To wit: humans look for certain characteristics to determine if a mate is healthy, those being certain body proportions, coloration, hair quality, soundness of teeth, all of which can be indicators of bodily health. Marketers have over time exaggerated these elements to increase our reactions to their ads, by artificially whitening the teeth of spokespersons, enhancing their hair color, carefully manipulating clothing colors and body shape, all to convince us to react more positively. Hollywood uses the same technique to increase the purported beauty of their stars. With regard to teeth, we’re conditioned to look for someone who has all their teeth, and that they aren’t too discolored. These are indicators that the person is getting a healthy diet. Marketers just take it further, by whitening teeth beyond any natural shade, and artificially straightening them beyond anything nature could ever do. Over time, seeing this kind of thing constantly, we begin to think it’s the norm, and that anyone who doesn’t look like that is somehow inferior. Modern technology has made it possible for even ordinary shlubs to get hollywood teeth. Britain has somehow avoided that particular fetish, and therefore have more realistic teeth.
Someone should tell libs that it's far better to be smart, than to look smart.
I’m sorry, but they are one of the ugliest couples I’ve ever seen.
And the dress doesn’t help!!
Did anyone notice the groom’s sneakers?
I think that’s really hot how she got her eybrows to be two different lengths.....
well i have to say the dress is not hideous. it’s actually kinda neat. the bride and groom on the other hand are a pair of charm free eco-idiots. but, dang, you gotta love being able to pop bubble wrap at a wedding. overall i give the whole affair a 7.5. (mostly for the fun factor)
Even the royals and the TV stars have ugly teeth, and they can certainly afford to have them done privately, even if the NHS doesn’t cover it.
They just don’t see it as being all that unattractive. My English mother-in-law thought it was ridiculous that we had the kids get braces. She honestly didn’t think there was anything wrong with their teeth. Yet, my kids’ overbites were bad enough that in Britain they probably would have got orthodontia paid for by the NHS.
Not to get off topic, but does it ever seem that the ugly people stayed in Britain?

Now you;ve gone and done it!
Cue the Helen Thomas photos.
Satisfied? :-)
