The Royal Wedding: William and Catherine, April 29th, 2011

SO the big moment is only a few hours away! Who's going to be watching? I'm somewhat curious. I remember when Charles and Diana were married I was 10. I imagine this is an especially big day for most of my U.K friends here.

Well, even though its fashionable for a lot of people to be totally disinterested, I personally am a sucker for our brilliant displays of pomp and pageantry, and I am going to be GLUED to the TV all day.

I am proud to be English and proud of our royal heritage

I was 10 years old also when Charles and Diana were married and I remember watching their wedding. I am staying up for the wedding, so curious to see Kate's gown. Whats with all the hats?

SOme of them look like Jumbo Jets they're so huge!

What is going on with all the hats? This isn't Ascot!

Ugh.... my Mum is getting all sappy.
I must admit though, I do feel some sense of happiness.

I''m not a Royalist, though I suppose they are "good ornamentation" for the British to have. I still have no interest in watching the wedding, though. I'm not girly enough to simper over such a grand show of wealth. I just can't believe in love that has in some respects been bought. Maybe I'm cynical, but would Kate have even given William a second look had he not been royalty?

I'm not a roaylist but am happy for any couple to be married and wish them all the best. They'll need it, and I hope that since they've been together for along time and met away from the glare of the press that they can make it work. I'm not watching the wedding but was flipping channels at 11am - you can't deny that she is beautiful and the dress is stunning. Now, back on the with the dvd player...

Are they in their 40s? They both look like it.

Kate's excuse is poor application of make up. William's is just horrendous genetics. William is 28 and Kate 29.

My mother is glaring every time they show Camilla.

That's because Camilla is a horrible old toad.

I wasn't 'excited' and I'm still not but I've watched it and it's been very lovely. Kate looks beautiful and The Queen looks like a happy little lemon.

I am glad Britain still has heritage like this, I'm proud of it. I can't imagine being somewhere where the streets weren't lined with people waving Union flags at an event like this, it'd just be weird.

I didnt watch the wedding...but I'm watching the aftermath where they all go to the luncheon at Buckingham Palace.

Btw I LOOOOOOOOOOVE Kate's dress!!!
