Of course, they could not cover their tracks forever, and the tabloids have already discovered them on their honeymoon in Turkey. But they accomplished more than just the news blackout. Give them credit for holding a wedding that had dignity, style, mystery and joy, in the manner of the groom's mother. This occasion may have been...
