I don't really care that much, and I'm certainly not going to forgo sleeping to watch the coverage starting at 3AM for over 12 hours -- but -- I'm DVR'ing it (from BBCA) to fast-forward later.

But just wondering -- is this big news? Any opinions on the bride or groom, etc?

This is a massive event in the UK and im proud to be British today for this event,im going to be following this on the BBC..

I don't necessarily also care that much about this, but I do think it's an "event" because it covers all those topical quadrants that draw people in: politics, traditionalism, fashion, celebrity, Anglophilia, etc.

Plus its not like UK recently has had a pleasant diversion from the economy and the Cameron budget-gutting or the seeming-utter-failure that was the Tory/Liberal govt coalition.

God I want Capo commentary, pronto!



Isn't today a national holiday over there?

Who wouldn't be patriotic on a holiday on Friday?

Today is a national holiday yes. Thank You Kate and William..

I just tuned into the news, and that's all they're covering. She did look beautiful and I loved her dress, although it's getting critiqued for not being "groundbreaking". I think she looked gorgeous.

Well, I wasn't going to get up at 1:00 a.m. (or whenever) to see it, but it's only 5:07 and I have to babysit today so I am tuning in just now. I assume the ceremony itself is over. I wasn't going to sit and watch it all day but I don't mind seeing parts of it. I have yet to see Kate's dress. I only saw a picture on line and it looks beautiful and she does too.

Like I said, I am not gonna watch it all but I do enjoy weddings and one of this caliber is fun to watch.

I can imagine all the American news anchors are really enjoying this type of news eh? What a cool vacation.

Why was Diana a "Princess" after she married Charles and Kate, I hear is a "Duchess?" I don't know the Royalty chain.

The queen bestows the title to the couple. I know Camilla now is a Duchess. They actually have 3 titles, but the prominent one is Duchess.

Maaan...those Brits really know how to do it grand . My buddy's wedding wasn't even close to this.

Prince William is a lucky man. What a fabulous looking bride. I wanna get married right now.

I agree.

Besides while trying to be "groundbreaking," you can poorly do so and just break wind.

For example, did you see that hat worn by one of Andrew/Fergie's kids? That convulted ribbon looked like a giant cookie cutter.

Some nice pictures of the day..
Wedding pictures

They are nice pics DeNiro

I haven't been able to sit and watch but rather get glimpses here and there. Huge number of people in the streets. Do the UK citizens get the day off of work?

The church looked beautiful, as did the bride. They look like a happy couple. I wish them the best.

Oh, and the weather looked pretty sunny no?


TIS

Couldn't agree more.


But yeah people get the day off from work. The wedding is a national holiday. Well, so I'm told.

Did I see Mohamed Al-Fayed walk in. Or was that someone who looked like him? It would be something if he got an invite.

Probably one of the representatives of those violent despot dictators in the Middle East.

Kate's mom looks really nice. A classy, elegant woman. I can see her face on a MILF tee shirt.

Kate's brother on the other hand is a little too feminine for me. I could see Elton John eyeing him up as eye candy.

Nice pictures, DeNiro. Thanks for sharing. Her sister looked stunning, too. I didn't realize her bouquet was lily of the valley, my favorite flower! Very sweet.

I thought she was gonna keep with tradition and lay her bouqet at the "Unknown soldier" plaque.

I saw Di's brother Charles. I don't remember seeing her 2 sisters there.

Just another hum-drum day in London I wish them well. They look like a nice couple. Hopefully they will spread good cheer around the world.

The honeymoon's starting soon, eh?

The church "Westminster Abbey" is over 1 thousand years old and is the church where all the monarchs are married. Amazing place..

I thought it was Al-Fayed when i first saw him but it was the King of Tonga..

Kate looked amazing...but I was more taken aback by her younger sister Pippa! She was stunning, too! Wonder if she's single...

In front of the child!!!??? My respect for these people just plummeted.

Ha ha ha!!!! They don't waste any time in the UK do they? The poor kids would probably be so embarrassed to get teased like this.

That "kneeling" picture for some reason reminds me of COMING TO AMERICA.

"The royal penis is clean, your highness."

Did anyone see this video of a priest doing cartwheels in The Abby after the ceremony? How long before Letterman parodies this, like the Dancing Ito's.

That's cute. I'm guessing everyone has seen this. I saw it somewhere last week, but can't remember where, so I found it on YouTube...a parody of the Royal Wedding. It's hilarious.
