Most of my mates have no interest whatsoever in the wedding. I'm not a Royalist but neither am I a Republican (President Thatcher! 'nuff said) so it doesn't hold any interest for me apart from there being a shared national experience.
Ms.Pie-face and Ms.OrangeCounty will be having a Royal Wedding soiree with mini cucumber sandwiches and Pimms....I shall take champagne and bypass the dreadful Pimms but I shan't watch the wedding on tv. |

If I were still living in London I would likely be heading to Amsterdam to escape the melee...
BUT since I'm not, I am eagerly anticipating 'The Dress' AND the best exhibit of millinery art in the world. (I am *all about* the hats). I've also scored major Mother-Points by inviting her over for mimosas and breakfast at crazy-'o'-clock. She and I watched two Royal Weddings together when I was a child.

You bet I'll be watching.
His real mom won't be there so the least I can do as a mom is tune in on her behalf and wish them all the love and happiness in the world. Yeah, I'm a big ol' softy after all. Words |

We are on vacation so there is no way we will be waking up for this...
I have no interest and luckily my bride doesn't either... (my Mom is waking up though with her book club and having tea and crumpets). I just think of all the resources being spent on this wedding and I look around this planet and see all the suffering going on at this very moment.... and I have to wonder... really really wonder. I know it's a fairy tale (at least that's what my Mom says... with a little giggle... and that's a little cute) so I wish the what seems to be a very happy couple well....

That's a provocative post and nothing to do with the Royal Wedding. As someone with three bullets still in me due to a (failed) Sinn Fein / IRA murder attempt in 1993, I am rather sensitive on the topic. Add to that my Protestant friends murdered by the IRA through the 1970s and 1980s and you'll hopefully understand some of it? and what is it? well, it's never sleeping at night, it's reading too much, and yet too little, into every situation. It's about understanding too much and too little at the same time. An explicit request for the Brits (ie me) to get out of Northern Ireland, a place you've likely never been to? No chance. You are a coward. |

I have no interest in the British monarchy what so ever! So I'm not going to get up in the middle of the night to watch a wedding....
That said, I wish them the best like I would wish to anyone getting married! |

My employer will have the tv tuned to it in the break room, and it would be hell to pay to change it on her lol so I imagine I will see something of it unless I opt to go out for lunch. Maybe I'll make and watch the festivities for an hour.

Besides, I'm curious, regarding this homeland you speak of...I'm taking it that you're NOT a member of the indigenous (i.e., Native American) popualation of the United States, correct? Words |

in honor of the royal wedding
A local public library is holding a tea party for small children where
Tea and crumpets will be served. That is about the cutest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. |

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.

Hats are like hair styles/cuts- there are those that look great on all of us... bet there is more than one that would look great on you and everyone else! The Brits know hats and I love them for this. Philip Treacy's hats are awesome milliner creations. Can't wait to see his hats Friday!! Also.... I have a deep affection for the historical significance of the working class relationship with hat making that began to cover and protect from the elements. not just fashion statements- hats have utilitarian value. |

I'm not into it.
I say, take the money for this wedding and divide it out amongst the hungry. |

Not saying it's right, but I don't see the royal family just outright donating those millions....but if they spend them, generating work and jobs....that creates a positive ripple effect economically that will benefit an awful lot of people.

Keep living your fantasies. The rest of us, the real people of Northern Ireland, not the people you read about in textbooks .... we, whether Protestant, Catholic or Dissenter, continue to get on with the most important thing which is living and working together in a Northern Ireland for all of us. Yesterday, our main city of Belfast basked in glorious sunshine and during the day I caught up with friends of all religious backgrounds and political opinions, and none, on one of my (unfortunately not as frequent as I would like) visits back home. I don't give a **** about the Royal Wedding ... the Royal family don't represent anything of me. However, I'm strongly Northern Irish - it's at the core of who I am and more important, for me, than any form of gender identity or personal identity. Any challenge to that and I'll come down on it massively - your posts don't represent a challenge as they are the sort of stuff an idiotic 13 year old boy with a box of kleenex tissues would write but they are provocative so I respond. Bit of advice - if you want to post something about Northern Ireland again, better than you understand at least a small bit of what you write about. We are a complex people and we don't suffer idiots gladly. Ciaran |

Happygirl told me that Youtube is streaming it (Thanks, Happygirl!). And i found after looking that CNN and E! are as well.
i saw some pics on this site, and they made me happy for the couple. i really do think Diana made a difference. The sons really seem to be able to talk to people. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...vent-year.html |
