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.

Kate's mother is part Jewish. that's why they're doing this, to honor her.
Obviously everyone's been had. This appeared in the London Jewish Chronicle's Purim edition.

Nothing wrong in semitic traditions Christ was a semite too.
Did it as a gesture toward other faiths, eh? So what Muslim tradition did they use?

They wanted to do something islamic but beheadings and floggings at a wedding are not really in vogue.
