The wedding planners

Some cultural mysteries continue to be unsolved – does the spinning thing topple at the end of Inception? What does the man tell everyone in the video for ‘Just’? How many corpses were buried under the patio on Noel’s House Party? – but Niall from Dublin can at least try to close the following case:

Having recently walked down memory lane whilst listening to your ‘Best of 2010’ episode, I felt compelled to watch, admittedly for the first time, Guns N’Roses’ ‘November Rain’ video. Christ, it’s long, isn’t it?

Anyway, I was driven to establish the cause of death for Axl’s new bride, as pneumonia is easily treatable, especially for a woman of such a young age, and after much deliberation, I have come to the following conclusion:

As a result of the remarkably quick courting and proposal of Axl and his bride-to-be, little time remained for wedding preparations, and as a result, tasks for the wedding were delegated out amongst the members of Guns N’Roses: Slash was in charge of flowers, Duff took on the responsibility of the invitations and Izzy was tasked with ordering the wedding cake.

However, given that Izzy had only met Axl’s bride-to-be on one occasion, and in a loud rock bar, he was not even sure of her name, let alone aware of the fact that she possessed, since childhood, a volatile nut allergy. Given his ignorance of this fact, he had no qualms about ordering a wedding cake laced with almond icing. This proved fatal to the bride on her wedding day. Hence the violent destruction of the cake in the video.

I hope this means that Brendan from Cork can finally sleep at night.

Yet another reason why the traditional wedding fruit cake should be banned.
