Yes, this is the most exciting royal event since Diana married Charles!

Not a chance! Royals are boring and stuffy and the monarchy is meaningless.

What wedding? Who is Kate? What's a monarchy? A butterfly?

The Royal Wedding - Prince William and Kate
Anyone else planning to get up at 3 a.m. (4 or 4:30 if you're on the East coast) to watch the wedding coverage?  I'll be dragging all three kids out of the bed, and we'll have tea and biscuits  and watch in our pajamas until it's over.
Whatever your opinions of the monarchy, this is still a piece of history worth watching, IMO. (And appealing to girls everywhere.)

I'm not interested one bit in that wedding.

Re: The Royal Wedding - Prince William and Kate
I'll be following along just to see what the protesters can accomplish. Obviously security's going to be tight, but there have been some promises (threats?) at disruption. It will be interesting to see how the crowds of Brits react to the burning of a Will & Kate effigy, if the extremists go through with it and can pull it off.
... also, to see the architecture of Westminster Abbey. I love that place.

LOL, Margie...I threatened to wake Jeff up, and he said I'd better not (in so many words).

The Anti-Royalists over there aren't for it,at all.

Have you actually been there? I would love to visit England.

Re: The Royal Wedding - Prince William and Kate
I voted that I don't have a TV, but hey, internet would work if I wanted to get up that early. I LOVE the royals. It's kind of like a sickness. They are the only celebrities that I really like to keep up with. I don't love them enough to get up at 4 am for though. I will watch some coverage later on.
