The wedding of Will & Kate

[Marigold2]

My mailbox was knocked down for several days so I thought maybe my invite was late, but alas no invite for me.
Is anyone else excited? I find it so incredibly lovely that he gave Kate Diana's ring. And I believe these two are a good match and will be happy together doing a most difficult and highly public job and life.
I wanted to go back to England this May again with my daughter but our plans have changed an now with the wedding it will be impossible to get rooms around that time.
I wish I would have booked them way way back but on the other hand it would have been very crowded and very expensive.
Is anyone going to be in London at that time?

Chloe and Jenna will be.

Will watch it all on TV. Funny, we are so excited about this, yet according to the press, the folks over there are more laid back about it all, lol.

I can't honestly say I care one way or the other about it and have no intention (or desire) to watch any of it on tv. As for her dress, enough already!

[happylabs]

Meh...not that interested.

I'll probably watch some of it on t.v., since that will probably be the only thing to watch that day anyway! I really don't care much that I didn't get an invitation tho... However, I'm REALLY very surprised that Sarah -Dutchess of "Pork", did NOT receive one - yet her daughters did??? Supposedly she is "nothing" since the divorce and just doesn't rate one. Yet the Beckam's do??? In spite of some of Fergies escapades and poor choices that she made over the years, she was a breath of fresh air in that stale and stuffy family. I really like her!

Me either. Wish 'em well, and all that, but don't really care about it, a whole lotta hoopla taking up news space that could be put to better use.

I don't care at all. I only care that she's wearing sapphires, which is making my favorite stone popular again. I have a ring that looks exactly like hers (only much smaller) so I get compliments on it, which I haven't gotten in 15 years.

I feel the same way. Not inviting Sarah is pretty mean spirited.
I imagine that if Diana were still alive, they would have to invite her but would seat her waaaaaaaaaaay in the back just to let her know she is not important.

I love everything English and that includes the Royals. As Americans watch Snookie and Charlie Sheen, Lady Gaga and whomever I adore the Royals. They are usually intelligent, educated, well bred and do a lot of charity work, can't really say that about some of the above.
I am about the same age as Diana and remember watching her wedding with tears. A fairy tale for someone who watched Cinderella growing up and believing at that time in dreams coming true for this beautiful young bride.
I felt her heartache in a marriage turn sour, an unloving and uncaring husband who cheated a cold mother in law and all the expections of the world on her shoulder. No wonder she cracked. I also saw a young mother who loved her boys more then life itself and tried, fought and overcame hundreds of years of protocol in raising them in a modern world to be good, caring and charitable to the common man this is to her credit.
Both boys have really stood up and done lots of hard work to help those in need, they are their mother's sons and she would be proud.
Now William has picked a fine young women and I am excited to see the next chapter of this saga continue. I am hoping that Kate will be genorous of her time as Diana was in helping others and in showing the world that kindness and understanding of others especially those that are ill and unable to take care of themselves is what is important to this world.

Not inviting Sarah is mean, she is after all the Princess's mum and family always.

You better get used to calling her Katherine. Once they are married she will no longer be Kate. I saw a special (well, didn't really SEE it but listened to it as I did things around the house) about them.
I think the reason people over there are so laid back about it is because its not THAT big of a deal to them. It's sorta like Chelsea Clinton getting married. Eh, who cares? Of course it will be beautiful and extravagant. But I won't be watching.
Oh, and for the record.....I could care less about Charlie Sheen (I'm so sick of hearing about him), Lady Gaga (can't stand her!!) and Snookie (never watch that show).

I meant to mention - July and August are actual a better time to visit England, anyway - you can tour much more of the royal properties - they are open for visits then. both portions of Buckingham Palace and others in London itself. And while it is "hot" for Brits, they seem to wilt at 80 degrees, which of course is perfectly nice as far as most Americans are concerned!

Does anyone know if Diana's family is invited?

Seems I heard that her brother recently remarried. But, I don't remember anything about whether Diana's brother or sisters were on the guest list.

Who knows. Family politics run hot thru that family.

They are usually well bred

Errrrrrr......sorry....their personal lives throw that one out of the window.
