This royal wedding may not inspire hoopla across the globe,but the mountain kingdom of Bhutan sure is in celebration mood. Thirty-one-year-old Bhutanese King,Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck,relinquished his place in the list of most eligible bachelors when he recently announced his engagement to commoner Jetsun Pema. The much popular Wangchuck became one of the youngest monarchs on the planet in 2008,and since then has maintained the legacy of common touch that his father and predecessor had exemplified. “Jetsun Pema is a kind-hearted girl who is very supportive and whom I can trust. I don’t know what my people will say about her,but I find her complete with all the qualities a woman needs to have,” Wangchuk announced in a national TV broadcast.
