Royal Wedding Thread

[hatsbo]

zzzzzz .......
Although I might check out Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon's tongue in cheek commentary.

Not interested in the wedding, but Prince Harry is a cool cat. Big fan of his.

Watching the replay on BBC America now. Kinda cool I was in that chapel last year when we went over for spring break.

Now we know who left the beer cans in the chapel.

I enjoyed it. Harry and Meghan have changed the Royal Family already...much more relaxed and modern. The best was the preacher from the US giving his sermon. I would love to know what the stuffy Brits thought of him. I thought he was awesome!

Harry seems like the kind of guy who'd sit down for a beer and shoot the breeze with anyone.

Would love to give the Queen the truth serum and get her true inner thoughts on the whole thing. I suspect the older guard may have been biting its tongue on the whole American/divorcee thing.

It was fun to watch and the preacher definitely stole the show. I was wondering the same thing while he was talking. The Brits aren’t use to someone talking like that in church.

Didn’t her uncle marry an American actress that had been divorced? I believe he was the one that had to give up the thrown to her father, then he died.

That’s what the King’s Speech is (partially) about.

The only vaguely interesting thing to me about the whole thing was learning that the “princess” has a trashy half sister who lives in a trailer park in Silver Springs Florida.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

The whole "stuffy Brit" image may in fact apply to the royals, but to a person everyone I know from the UK and Europe generally is a lot less uptight and much less PC than we Americans are.

Trashy, huh? Gotta name and pix?

Dang 62, you reminded me of a wedding for one of my college buddies. We literally stuffed cans behind choir books in the church office while changing clothes. Oops, did I say that?

 

[LLOYD72]

Can we start a forum for uniform combos and royal wedding??

Queen: “We are not amused”

Brits love Harry and Meghan... and aren’t stuffy

 

[Spearhead04]

I guess I don’t get the worldwide hoopla. Who cares about this royal wedding? It’s just two more people getting married. Then again, why do I care so much about FSU football.

 

[noleit]

I only watched for crashes(too early?)

Planning on trying to marry in sideways to the royal family?

Gotta better plan? In is in...

Hmmm, let's see....$43 million for a wedding ;( The population of England is about 53 million so almost a dollar per head isn't that bad

 

[ReliableOstrich]

I'm not religious but thought the American preacher's sermon was very nice.

I also didn't watch a single minute of the wedding other than the above.

They're expecting it to bring in $1.2 billion in tourism. They initially said $700 million but adjusted the number after early numbers just before the wedding.

Read that most of her dad's side of the family never got along with her mother hence the absence of an invite.

I had it on while I made breakfast. I find it interesting just because of the historic settings, cars and all the money thrown at it. Also interesting to see which traditions they break or modernize.

Seeing a girl from LA marry a prince really gives me hope my 3yr old has a chance with Princess Charlotte.
