King of Bhutan Gets Married

The King of Bhutan is getting married on Thursday.  Did you know Bhutan has a king?  Did you know there's a country named Bhutan?  I only knew that it's a small country in Asia.  It turns out that it's located between China and India in the eastern end of the Himalayas.

King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck is 31 years old and was crowned in 2008.  He studied abroad in the US and UK, eventually graduating from Oxford.  According to news reports, he is widely popular not just in Bhutan, but all over Asia.

He is engaged to a woman 10 years his junior, Jetsun Pema, who is a pilot's daughter.  She was educated at elite schools in India and the UK.  She is fluent in the native language of Bhutan, Hindi, and English.  She's also very beautiful.  Publish Post
