23..Megan Markle's father reportedly offends the Royal Family by posing for paparazzi pictures, then declares he will not attend the wedding to give away the bride due to health issues, then says he will, then claims to be having heart surgery that day, so will not attend (there is some doubt to the surgery taking place). Megan then says she will walk herself down the aisle, and then Prince Charles is offered up by the Queen to give away the bride, which he does.

14.. Johnny Manziel

18.. Palestinian exodus in 1948

19.. I have always thought Wells Fargo was founded by Henry Wells and Bill Fargo in the mid 1800s. If it was founded, then there was no business entity before it. Was there a Wells company and a Fargo company and they merged? Oops! I know you ask the questions, we are to supply the answers. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

20.. Russia – actually an ingeniously lethal weapon especially against the USA with so many large cities on its coasts since this nuclear weapon upon detonation can cause a really big tsunami.

23.. Since Megan Markle’s father was not to attend the wedding, then who walks Megan down the aisle? Simple solution was for her to walk by herself halfway to be joined by Prince Charles for the balance of the walk.

24.. Current Acting United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs was nominated by President Trump to permanently fill the position.

19. Wells Fargo and Company? Maybe a Stagecoach company in there?

19..VAUC & Game note the merger with Wachovia, and as Game writes, that bank was formerly First Union.
