John Lewis has about the same number of choices when you register for their wedding list service. My friend got married recently and got a kick out of everything being addressed to 'Princess'. :)
Didn't even see that. But I think that "His Holiness" is funnier -- for some strange reason, they don't have a feminine form of that, though :)

Haha -- that does sound fun! Especially if a "Bridezilla" were involved, I'm sure that would puff up her ego no end :)
That reminds me of some letters I received while I was on my mission -- my title then was Elder, or in Greek, Πρεσβύτερος (which seems to be a more-or-less literal translation: an archaic word for "older").
Apparently, in the Greek Orthodox Church, that title is also used, but I think by someone two or three notches higher in the hierarchy than I was. At any rate, Greeks I didn't know whom I had written to (one case I remember was the public transport people, asking about a timetable) addressed me as Αιδεσιμότατε and Σεβασμιότατε, which seems to be something along the lines of "Reverend" or "Your Eminence" or something -- something that I wasn't used to being called in English!
