**Pudge** · 04-29-11, 02:53 PM

What wedding?

**Jenna** · 04-29-11, 05:47 PM

Much more fun than elections! Too bad they have no real political power.

**KaiGywer** · 04-29-11, 06:59 PM

Who's betting on Harry and Pippa getting it on after the party...

Why does anybody care? It's a fake monarchy that doesn't do anything. A friend of my wife stayed up all night long watching the coverage. I can't think of anything more vapid. Except, possibly, Lindsay Lohan gonig to court again.

What about if a prince married Lindsay Lohan and she got herself arrested during the wedding?

Make it stop.

I'd like to hear about how the people of Japan are doing or how friends in the south, whom we've not heard from, are doing...not about a couple of rich people nor about what their expensive clothing costs or looks like.

Don't worry the UK news, which is obviously more balanced, followed the wedding highlights with a long piece about the southern states.
I will say that is is nice to have a countries figurehead(non political) that has an approval rate of over 80% of the population and who does more to unite a country than to divide it.
Oh and the brides sister........oh yeh!!

My wife & I watched the wedding from start to when the networks dropped it and then on to BBC America. We thought it was just great and the Brits sure know how to throw a party. Just like a Fairy Tale. What with all that is going on in the world, it was a nice distraction. Some things I noticed was the completge orderlyness of the crowd around the Palace and else where. Could you imagine a crowd that size in NY behaving so when they dropped the barriers so they could go up to the Fence around the Palace? No rushing, shoving, pushing, etc. AND, the crazy hats. I agree with Motorway Cop. Jolly Good Show.

Many years ago I was on protection with Princes William and Harry, walking in Battersea Park. Harry was in a push chair ( think you colonials call them strollers?) William was running around like little kids do, when he started to climb some temporary railings. These railings were around a monument and only held up by concrete blocks that they were wedged in to. Nanny Barnes called to him, ''William, William dear get down please.'' He carried on climbing. Nanny Barnes repeated her call a couple of times, but William was taking no notice. The railings looked none to safe, so being a Dad with kids around the same age, and also being their Protection Officer, I decided to act. ''WILLIAM'', I screamed, ''GET DOWN FROM THERE WHEN YOU ARE TOLD! NOW!!!'' He did.

Nanny Barnes turned to me and said, '' We don't talk to the future King of England like that.'' I said, ''We do when he is about to become the EX future King of England!''.

You should send him a note with that story
