Warmest Congratulations!

Many congratulations to Sir Francis Edward and the Lady Younghusband on their recent marriage!

In accordance with Royal Geographic Society guidelines we cannot disclose the actual date and location. However, I am happy to announce that Sir Francis Younghusband and his fiancee of six years were wed in the first quarter of 2006 in a ceremony somewhere between Kashgar and Bangalore.

The above photo is from the actual event. The Victorian photographs are typical-CA style, protecting the identity of the blogger who might just one day rise to become the dictator of a small Caribbean island. A generic background has been used (ala Osama Bin Laden!) to conceal the actual location.

The Lady Younghusband is a Japanese national. The wedding service was consequently part Japanese Shinto ritual and part Canada backwoods proto-Christian. No news yet on whether the honeymoon will be held in Prague, Tashkent, or Harare.

Please join me in wishing warmest congratulations to the happy couple!
