Thread: The wedding of Will & Kate

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    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).
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I wouldn't judge Lady Gaga based on her looks. she is very intelligent and actually has an amazing talent... she just knows what sells to Americans and she's selling it lol

    I don't really care TOO much about the wedding but I think it's beautiful that he gave her his mothers ring. diana was a treasure. she really was. A beautiful woman inside and out. to bad Charles was such a schmuck lol. But they have two wonderful boys and I'm very happy for William. Kate is beautiful and I just have a feeling that Diana is proud that William picked her She's a lovely young woman.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    I'm hoping that once the wedding takes place, that Kate remains as down to earth as she appears to be at present. Don't know how much she'll "have" to change, considering that she is marrying into royalty, but I certainly hope that the Queen doesn't try to make her into something that she is not. Afterall, Will fell in love with the Kate as she is seen now, not what protocol could dictate that she becomes. Will Kate - or should I say Katherine, now have a title??? Anybody know??????????

    It never ceases to amaze me - and I'm sure it never will - how obsessive the coverage of the Royal family's doings seems to be in the States. Didn't you guys fight a war to get rid of them? Don't you have any news of your own?

    My grandmother is from england... if I didn't follow the royal family she'd disown me LOL

    I remember I called my dad one time and ask if the Queen mum had passed away (for some reason I thought she was still alive) and his response was "don't you let your grandmother hear you ask such a question" LOL

    Really? How funny, that is so alien to me. In fairness though, there tends to be a big gap between England and Scotland as concerns the Royal family.

    Out of interest, was your grandmother the original emigrant? Sometimes they cling to home ties more persistently.

    This is just my opinion, but I think those in the U.S. that are obsessed with the goings-on, are those that love pomp and circumstance - the formality and beauty of the whole thing. Being the laid-back society that we are, we never see anything like that here. Can't say that I would personally like to live that 24/7, but it is rather interesting to watch on occasion.

    And those in the U.S. that love to see the b.s. that happens within The Royal Family - maybe it makes them feel that we here in the U.S. aren't the only ones to screw up!

    My comment though was not about the people who consume the news, Pomtzu, rather it was about the obsessive news coverage of the Royal family in the States, when the same issues are not covered in such depth here.

    I find the whole royal family thing fascinating. I didn't watch the televised marriage of Diana and Charles, but, would watch any 'documentary' on it, the royal family, probably to the exclusion of all else. Not sure why. Maybe cause it is so foreign to me? We have no caste system here, no royal anything, other than royal PIAs...

    Just cause we kicked the royal family to the curb all those years ago doesn't mean we have forgotten from whence we came. LOL.

    LOL not that I know of lol there was just a comment about the royal family being well educated etc etc etc unlike people like charlie sheen and lady gaga... but lady gaga is actually a very intelligent young woman who is extremely talented. she just knows what America wants to see to sell the most records lol that's pretty smart.

    but she might have gotten an invite lol she could be the reception entertainment
