<p>D1 and I will be at D2’s house for something on Saturday, so of course we are going to get up early and watch. We spent 3 years in London, and were there when Diana died. I love London, and will watch with great interest. I have walked the route that they are going to drive many times. I watched all of the weddings, even what was on of Edward’s. Edward and Sophie got married just before we left. </p>

<p>I am interested to see if the Queen makes William a Duke. I also love all of the hats that one sees at British weddings. I think it is going to be great fun, even if it will be a bit early. I have to order the scones and make sure D2 has tea. I think I will bring gloves to wear while watching – in my bathrobe!</p>

<p>I can’t wait! I espeically look forward to seeing her wedding dress - but then again, I am a semi-religious follower of “Say Yes to the Dress.”</p>

<p>Every time I see pictures of Kate and William, I think, man, she’s beautiful. What does she see in him? Bwahahahahahaha</p>

<p>Simba, isn’t the Queen Mother dead?</p>

44

<p>Is there going to be tailgating outside the church?</p>

<p>My party is getting bigger…the corporate sustainability now wants to take over the party planning. They heard from the CEO that our department is sponsoring it and we have his support. They are willing to give us the corproate executive floor, which is beautiful, and cater the whole event. They will put up mutiple wide screen TVs around the floor. We are going to sell tickets, first come, first serve. I think real Brits are going to show up with their hats and everything.</p>

<p>Wow, oldfort, the party sounds like fun! Champagne, catered food, hats.</p>

<p>I knew the date was 4/29, but only today did it hit me that that is Friday. GOOD FRIDAY.
I will be traveling to my Easter destination.</p>

<p>Isn’t Good Friday 4/22, not 4/29? (Very much hoping so.)</p>

51

<p>The wedding is on 4/29, not Good Fri.</p>

<p>I watched Diana marry and then her funeral. But she was a year older than me and I guess I identified with her. This time…not so much. Also, at age 19, I stilled believed in the fairy tale, how the beautiful, shy young woman won over the Prince and they were going to live happily ever after. These days I’m a lot less idealistic, particularly after watching Diana’s fairy tale disintegrate. I wish them well. Let’s hope it goes better than his parent’s marriage.</p>

<p>@oldfort - The facebook group I belong to is wearing tiaras, so I’m going with it. I have so few chances to wear one:)</p>

54

<p>I got up at 4 AM to watch Dianna get married, and was stuck to the TV for all the coverage when she died. I planned on watching it until my daughter changed her moving home plans from Thursday to Friday of that week. I don’t think I should get up so early when I will be moving her out of the dorm and then driving 4 plus hours to get her home on that day. I’m disappointed.</p>

55

<br>

<br>

<p>Yes, she is. I assumed that was rather the point.</p>

56

<p>Yep, got my dates mixed up. I will be at work!</p>

<p>Need to retire.</p>

57

<p>

</p>

<p>Really? Are you that far removed?</p>

58

<p>I always think it is wonderful when people on welfare can nonetheless find the resources to get married. I hope they can weather the financial strains.</p>

59

<p>I am! I so SO freaking excited! I plan to wake up at 4am and have scones and early grey tea!</p>

<p>It strikes me as odd to call it “far removed” that someone isn’t up on celebrity gossip.</p>
