@Fran

Ha ha. I liked how the Red Queen say it.

@Jacob

I think you lacked cultural relativity. First of all, you can't say its stupid. If it is, why do the people anticipate it? It's their culture. You can't blame them if they will/will not make it compulsory.

Is the wedding compulsory? :shock: :shock:
If you're part of the British Royal Family I guess it is.
Anyone who fails to attend .... 'Off With Their Head' :lol:
What a bunch of buttholes. This wedding is not compulsory, it's just stupid normal wedding, three year olds can't sit and behave, they are meant to have fun and learn not be all high and mighty... and... British!

Brother I'm sorry that you don't get it but as you grow older you'll understand that there are things in life that make others happy such as a regal wedding. This isn't "just a stupid normal wedding" it's person getting married that has the money and backing to make it look magical it's a fantasy wedding in the eyes of some.

I don't understand why you sound so angry over this why piss on something others enjoy?

@ Butterbescotch and Tip The Bottle

You guys took a different interpretation, I am not insulting them over a NORMAL wedding, I am simply discussing how there is a major overrated hype over this wedding...

I suppose when you called it a "stupid normal wedding"" I got confused. Here's the thing about over-rated, that is an opinion. If you have no interest in something and everyone else is talking about it then it is most certainly over-rated to you. Where as if someone is looking forward to all the pomp of it then it is what it is, an exciting event.

I'm just saying, what if 2 billion people showed up for your eternity long wedding?

Being that I'm an average man I would be effin gobsmacked over it and very dubious of the fact that two million people want to see and utterly average wedding. There is a difference between me and the prince, a small difference, but a difference none the less.

What's the difference, he is just a normal person. Nothing is more special about him then any of us.

Well, because he is royal. Ask me why is the president any different from us? Because he's the president. It's the position he is in.

I think it's not an over-rated wedding because it's a royal wedding. Catching attention is inevitable. But if you're talking about an average wedding and millions of people came that I'll call overrated. But in this case, it's not.

I have no interest personally in this wedding as i am indifferent to the whole Royal Family to be honest but sadly, women being women, at work today i had to endure constant "Oohs thats beautiful etc" as most of the female lab workers downed tools to watch the grainy streaming footage of the arrival and the ceremony.

I have seen William interviewed a few times and he seems a very nice guy however im not sure Kate will be as popular as Diana.

I remember what it was like to be young and think that we're all in the same boat and no one should get special treatment. Then I grew up and realized that physically we are all equals but in terms of life lived we are not nor do we all have the same value in the eyes of society.
