Wasn't the wedding wonderful?! So full of pomp and ceremony! It's no wonder so many little girls want to be princesses ... and various big girls too! :D

Do Princes/Queens or whoever actually have any kind of power to do anything, or is it just a title?

I can't help wonder how much money they spent on the wedding, and how many better ways there are to spend it. The dress alone probably could have housed 10 homeless people. Sad stuff, glad it's over, I don't know who got the idea that us Americans wanted to be bombarded with royal wedding news, most of us couldn't care less, we don't even like England.

Nothing on earth is more boring than a royal wedding. (Except watching a golf game of course)

Nothing was accomplished, no country was saved, no war has ended due to the wedding. The royal family and especially a princess/prince has/have no power in any which way at all.

But at least it's good for Kate. She is now set for life.

Pathetic!

I say she's screwed for life. From here on out she will have no privacy, she can't go out to the local bar and get a beer anymore, can't go to the grocery store and strike up a random conversation with a stranger, I don't know if I could give up those little freedoms.

[Rachael98]

...I agree with TheFluffySlipper. I would like to point out (oh great, I'm going to get hated again) that the monarchy probably paid a lot of it. Perhaps Princess Catherine has lost some freedom, but what she has gained totally outweighs that. For a start, the husband of her dreams! I find it quite insulting that
...we don't even like england...
Have you ever even been? It was also a great time of celebration for a country, and parts of the worl that is/are in terrible economic states. A morale booster.

I really don't get why people are so negative about celebration and joy! You'll even find a FaceBook account called: "that awkward moment when someone starts a riot at your street party". Not great. I really don't get it.

I should clarify: my gripe is with American media. I realize Brits are overjoyed about a prince getting married (I don't understand why, but I realize it). I and most people I talk to don't understand why we have to hear about this wedding 10 times a day.

It's akward because, I know I don't care, but then the media shoves it down my throat all week, so I feel like the kid on the outside of the inside joke, wondering why everyone gets what the buzz is about except for me.

I really would like to hear from other Americans, whether you cared about the wedding, woke up to watch it, or if you're glad its finally over like I am.

Well, that makes it slightly more understandable. You should be glad that you're not watching the BBC if you complain about it being 10 times a day. It's all BBC News are talking about. Let me tell you why we are overjoyed: the monarchy represents a huge, and I really mean huge part of our history. Diana was part of it. She died, tragically. She was HRH Prince William, Duke of Cambridge's mother. We are overjoyed to see happiness return to the family and our traditional Royal Weddings. More than anything, we are happy about the couple's happiness, but are mainly more interested in Diana's tragic story.

Like I said, that makes sense, you're in England, it's an English thing. I'm in America, it's more of a novelty here, but enough Americans are entertained by novelty that it is all over the news, especially entertainment television, and that's kinda unfortunate.

Anyway, this whole topic has nothing to do with Restaurant Story so let's just call a truce and let it fall off page 1.

Fair enough. I wasn't quite sure where to put it : Off-Topic? No, RS is TL related. Gen. TL? No, just RS! RS Discussion was the only place I could think of.
