Bristish Etiquette question

I think I read somewhere that the Royals invited 1900 people to the wedding yesterday.  Out of that, 650 were invited back to the Palace for a champagne and canape reception, with cake.  What the hell happened to those 1250 other people? Did they hand them a big ole Happy Meal McFish and Chips on the way out, and cut 'em loose?  Did they even get a parting gift?  I'm serious.  I did not see this addressed anywhere and just wondered what their invitation must have said.  You're invited, sort of?  You can come to part A but not part B?  Lunch and champagne at your place.  Maybe that's how the Royals cut corners but that's veddy, veddy, weird, in my opinion. 

And what about the King of Tonga....that jackass with the 12 or 13 wives.  Do they just invite him and tell him to leave all his wives home in Tonga, or is he a +13?  You know he's not....but I'm just dying to know how those Courtiers handle all this stuff, and what they say.  Frankly, the King of Tonga could have stayed home where I'm concerned, since he chooses a new wife from a huge dancing hoard of bare breasted Tongan women.  Dude...boobs are boobs.  And did I mention he looked like a bullfrog at the wedding....He did...and that's me being nice. 

Lastly, did you notice the Queen and Prince Phillip, Chucky and his Ho', all had to wait before they could be seated, because Kate's Rolls hadn't pulled up yet?  No one can be seated after the Queen, so they had to wait a few seconds until Kate arrived....I bet they've never had to do that...ever.  Making the Queen and your in-laws cool their jets....man, that's power.  If only for a few seconds.

Code for Below:
MOB--mother of the bride (Marianne Gonzalez, Andrea's mom, )
MOG--mother of the groom (moi')
FOB--father of the bride  (Andrea's dad, Francisco, who is an architect)

And for my best funny of the day, I got a text from the MOB this morning saying:  MOG- I think we should wear hats.  MOB 

I almost wrecked my car laughing when I found it, so I texted back:  Me, too.  BIG ONES like yesterdays. We need them to be Architectural, too, so we may need FOB's help. MOG.

Her last text was : Definitely.  I'll get him started on sketches. They'll be so easy to fly across the pond. MOB

Isn't she just the coolest thing ever?  I laughed my head off.  I'm a lucky gal.
