ANOTHER WEDDING IN WESTEROS

Dejligste roser har stindeste torne,
skønneste blomster sin tærende gift,
under en rosenkind hjertet kan forne,
for dog at skæbnen er sælsom og skift!

Vackraste rosor på törnbusken glöder,

skönaste blommor har tärande gift,

kinden kan blomstra fast hjärtat det blöder,

ödet är sällsamt och ändrar sin skrift!

Does anyone reading this blog actually mourn Joffrey?

The most elaborate and relevant royal wedding since William Windsor and Kate Middleton has ended in quite an unexpected and tragical way. Sociopathic underage absolute monarch Joffrey "Baratheon" and pure-hearted hinterland ingénue Margaery Tyrell have exchanged vows, shared the cake, and drunk to each others health.

The bride and groom together. Margie looks pleased, but Joff seems to dislike her kisses.

                        

And then, suddenly...

The royal bridegroom started coughing and clutching his throat...

Until he finally collapsed and died of suffocation.
Queen Mother Cersei is ostensibly consternated.

Indeed, Joffrey "Baratheon" (né Lannister) has died young and in a violent way, but left behind too notorious a reputation to become a legend. Which confirms our hypothesis that aristocratic weddings are getting more and more dangerous in Westeros nowadays.
