LACHAIM to all the monarchy worshippers on this board

LONDON - As far as Royal Weddings go, Prince William and his bride-to-be Kate Middleton are apparently all about bending the rules.

The happy couple, who recently released their wedding itinerary, decided not only that Middleton will not arrive at her wedding in a carriage but in the limousine attacked by students during riots in London three months ago, but that they will also celebrate with a traditional Jewish custom.

According to the Jewish Chronicle, Prince William will end the Anglican ceremony with the traditional glass-breaking custom known to end Jewish weddings.

Buckingham Palace spokesperson Esther Calthorpe-Watts said in a statement "They want everyone to feel a part of the wedding. And while, religiously, the ceremony will be completely Anglican in nature, they felt it appropriate to include these small gestures towards other faiths. "

"If the congregation at the Abbey wants to wish the happy couple 'mazeltov' we will be very happy but this will be totally optional," she said.
