I am going to watch; I always do. I’m Canadian and he’s slated to become my head of state one day! But I’m a sucker for weddings and romance and love. It should be fun!
The Royal Wedding
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Thursday, April 28, 2011 11:07 PM
I’m not setting my alarm for 5 a.m., but I’ll admit that I’m slightly intrigued by the early morning nuptials of Kate Middleton and Prince William.
Are you?
If you tune into the wedding, give us your thoughts. If you think it’s ridiculous, why?
Oh maybe it’s all a big waste of time, but there’s something magical about it all too—all the pomp and circumstance and royalty. (Mostly, I can’t wait to see the dress.)

Funny; I just blogged about this. Yes, I’m definitely in (though I’ll be DVR’ing instead of watching it live). Much of my interest relates to the fact that I remember watching the wedding of Will’s parents. It is an interesting full-circle moment for me and, I hope, a chance for the happy ending that eluded Charles and Di.
You’re right, Rachel - it is so, so magical. They are a beautiful couple, and I pray that they are blessed and sanctified throughout their marriage.
Also… what a gorgeous dress! Between Kate Middleton and Ivanka Trump, maybe we’ll finally see an end to the strapless wedding dress trend!
I got up at 4 a.m. to watch live, and then watched again at a viewing party (complete with scones) later in the morning (and later posted 7 Quick Takes on my impressions). I enjoy the pomp and pageantry; I deeply admire how hard-working and good-intentioned Her Majesty is; and I’m a little jealous that we in the States don’t have something equally as unifying.
I have watched the crowd and the ceremony. what is special is the thought in me ” How a progressive people can have such craze to gather to see two people getting married. How can they stillhave royalty though they are democratic nation. Also consider the lavish expense and the ordinary citizens who cant afford much of luxury.
We DVRed and watched it with our boys last night. Both my husband and I thought the homily was very good. The reading also was excellent. I don’t normally think of Romans 12 for weddings, but it was very appropriate for the royal couple in their wedded vocation. We thought the whole service was very Christ-centered. Our boys liked the parade. ![]()
BTW, according to the commentators, the royal family footed the bill for the entire event, except for security. And I’ll bet it brought plenty of tourist dollars into GB.
