BJ, your historicity is abysmally lacking. Before you publicly display such lack of knowledge, at least check out wikipedia. Not to mention your atrociously inaccurate projection of anachronism by projection of the modern "wife" into the text under discussion. This is classic erroneous postmodernism at its finest. Thanks for the exemplary nature of the process.

What by the way, is the wedding breakfast bit, Butterbeer? I have never heard of it and would be most eager to learn from your "most reliably informed" source(s). BTW, my only wish for a time machine would be to correct certain errors in my own life, but I have the suspicion that the past being fixed, I could not do so as traveling into the past would erase the knowledge I have earned/learned the hard way. Thank God for forgiveness, redemption, and regeneration!
