Why?<br />Because Benedict Cumberbatch is betrothed to be married to Sophie Hunter, and he announced his engagement in the most Benedict Cumberbatch-y way possible. No Instagram featuring the ring. No press release. No official statement from his publicist. Nope, just a short announcement in The Times' classified section. It was all super-casual.<br />The reaction to the engagement, however, was not at all casual. People's lives are over now because Cumberbatch will soon put on a cummerbund and walk down the aisle. <br /><br />Cumbernatch in a cummerbund!Kishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-6608913965642800742014-11-06T11:08:14.606+05:302014-11-06T11:08:14.606+05:30PostboxPostboxKishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-9125183243187797022014-11-06T10:41:13.375+05:302014-11-06T10:41:13.375+05:30It is a 7 letter word.
