aloha friday scoop

ever the romantic, my plan was to type out the scoop while waiting for the royal wedding, however slumber wooed me just before the ceremony's 3a west coast start time. yawn. luckily, i awoke just in time to see the beautiful bride make her way to westminster abbey to meet her prince. alas, burning the midnight oil found me bleary-eyed as the scoop's deadline approached so my hearty apologies for today's exceptionally tardy post.
