    Folks, it is not too surprising - the current CEO and President is a Brit named Nigel Travis, so of course they'd have "royal wedding" donuts!

    Am I the only one tired of the endless wedding commercials?

    Even Disney Channel is having a royal wedding week showcasing all their princess movies

    Every magazine I open has 5 different advertisements for knockoffs of the sapphire ring.

    Every time I look at TV, there's someone seeling something related to the wedding... whether its product or a TV show dedicated to it.

    Enough already!

    I read a comment somewhere on here, about how obsessed that the U.S. is with the royal wedding - more so than the Brits. Are you kidding??? - London is going mad and it's a virtual zoo over there. So let them I say - it's a fairy tale and dream come true for the "commoners" to see one of their own in this prestigious position. I personally would rather see the networks flooded with this happy event, rather than the constant reporting of death and war. The happiness and glamour will be out of the news all too soon, and then we can all go back to the world as it really is in our everyday mundane life.

    What? Where? I don't see any of that!!! The selling, I mean. Yes, every show has some bit of it, but selling souvenirs? All I've seen are the newspaper ad for the ring. I had to do a bit of Googling to learn what's out there, then pick up a few item off ebay.

    You are not alone. I'm tired of it. My sister actually might stay awake and watch it. WHY??? I'll see enough pictures and video of it after.
    A co-worker is going with her mom and sister to a reception for them. WHAT? A reception here in the US for people that won't be there? I don't get it.

    I think the reason I'm so against all this is look what happened to Princess Diana. The paparazzi is what ended up killing her (I know it was the driver going too fast, but still).
    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'm enjoying every minute of the clips we are seeing of the royal wedding. And it isn't only the U.S. that is having a huge celebration , Canadians are having a huge celebration, a fantastic meal for which we can buy tickets and they have tv creens set up in the rooms where this is being held so that all those interested can gather and enjoy it together. Next best thing to being there. I think it's a great idea , not an everyday occurence so a bit of fanfare after a long cold winter is nice.
