Most Pissed Off Bride. Ever.

First, her future mother-in-law refuses to attend the wedding.

Then, the Pope has the audacity to hold his funeral on her wedding day, prompting the happy couple to postpone their nuptials until the next day.

Then, some cheap costume jeweler decides to make $34 cubic zirconia knock offs of her engagement ring.

Asda is offering copies of the royal ring in sterling silver and emerald-cut cubic zirconia that retail for $34, and as of Monday morning, 30 percent of the 2,500 replicas had been sold, said Asda spokesman Ed Watson.

If it weren't for that "Princess of Wales" title, I'm not sure it would even be worth it.
