Up the wrong tree?

"Two young people fell in love, and we all showed up".This quote from the American episcopal preacher Michael Curry formed part of his address at the wedding of Prince Harry and Thingy on 'The Power Of Love'.  Except of course, it wan't.  It wasn't the power of love that got everybody showing up - it was the power of celebrity.  If this had been Joe Bloggs and Mary Smith you'd have been doing well to get half-a-dozen there.  Nice sentiment, but wrong occasion. I feel.
