    Not a chance in hell, however I realize I will be inundated by the dang thing for days on the "news". It isn't "news", it is a gala and I don't care one whit.

    No.

    Whereas, I support the Royal Family, I won't be spending any time watching the celebrations. We've had nothing but wedding for weeks now.

    I will not for two reasons. 1 I have no interest, and 2, I have a job and must work.

    I have no job so I might as well get up and watch it. Heck, I watched our last presidential inaguration and that was at work. And that one carried its own "fairytaled theme". I like the British also. It will be nice to see all the traditions and such. I was too young to watch Charles and Dianas.

    Like it or not, that's a piece of history.

    Nope. I think if there was less media coverage, I probably would have but now I'm sick of it. No offense to our cousins.

    No, I'm not getting up at 0500 to watch a wedding, or anything else for that matter. I wonder if the Obama's will since they won't be in attendance?

    I won't sit and watch it, but will probably try to catch some highlights. My mother was English and she was quite excited when Charles and Diana were married, I wish she were still here to see it for herself, she would have so loved to have seen Queen Elizabeth's grandson get married. It reminds me of her as much as anything - no offense to the happy couple.

    I do wish the couple well, William seems like a nice young man and Kate seems to be very level-headed.

    No. As with any couple getting married, they have my best wishes. But that's the extent of my interest.

    They have symbolic positions that can accomplish good deeds and I respect them that do so but like a lot of royalty they have their good and bad points.....I wish the married couple the best.....and give thanks for no longer remaining under colonialist or royalist rule. I would rather expend my admiration for philanthropists from the truly free democratic governments.

    You won't be surprised to hear I'll be watching it!:p:p
    That is, unless Kate comes to her senses and phones me before the Big Day....;)

    I have heard that Kate had the nick-name 'Middlebum', aquired at college for flashing her bottom out the dorm window, so maybe I will check in from time to time to see if she repeats!:)
