I don't have any feelings one way or another about the royal family but have followed it through the years. Maybe that is because I was put in front of an old B & W TV at the age of 4 to watch the Coronation of his Grandmother. And yes, Diana dazzled me.

I always hope for happiness when people commit to each other in whatever manner they hold as important. With this couple, I see the possibility of an actual union of love based upon their own choosing of one another. Not usually the stuff of royal unions.

Yup, will watch the wedding and be happy for two people in love.

I'm not planning on watching....but I did watch the Charles & Diana wedding as a freshman in college with a group of friends. Diana was our age, and we were pretty taken with the whole thing.

The irony was watching what happened to her in the aftermath....and feeling like she was so ill prepared for what she was getting into.

Her death happened when I was home on maternity leave with my son....so I watched a lot of that media coverage too. (How could I not...it was on every channel).

I'm with you AtLast....my hope is that these two have chosen each other, been together and even lived together for a significant amount of time....and that Kate is prepared for what she's walking into far more than Diana was.

I wish them both well.
