Kate and William
Does anyone else feel bad for Kate Middleton? Her wedding is in April, so it's about 2 months away. Remember how we were feeling in July? I can't imagine having that stress with the whole world paying obsessive attention like they are to her. She's doing a great job of appearing happy and holding it together, but I bet she drinks wine in the bathtub at night. So while everyone else may think she's so lucky, I feel bad for her having to plan her wedding under a microscope. Even if she has a wedding planner, there's no shielding a bride from the stress.

Re: Kate and William
i dont feel bad for her for a couple of reasons:
1) i dont feel bad for brides at all when they are two months out! i LOVED that time! i had so much fun planning and organizing. yes, it was stressful, but it was stressful for a fun reason!
2) kate got to pick her dress and the location (kind of). everything else she has no say in. MAYBE some of the food to be served, but that is it. she cannot pick her own flowers, her own music, there is not a fun party reception, etc. not only does she have an event planner, but she has no say in the event at all.
2A) because of reason 2, i do feel bad for her that she has no say in planning her wedding.
**side note. i love her, want to be her twin, and soooo wish i was going to that wedding.**

That probably causes her more stress. I would be so upset if I knew I couldn't control anything in my wedding. The one thing I let someone else control ended up getting my stuff stolen.

well i would think she maybe isnt stressed about this so much as sad maybe that she cannot plan what she wants? i think probably the last thing on her mind is "they are going to lose this or mess up that" because they really cant. this is THE wedding of the century and only the best will be working this wedding. but i do see your point!

I feel bad for her because I couldn't imagine marrying a prince. Or being the queen of a country one day. And in her interviews, she constantly makes tiny mentions about putting her life on hold. Apparently she's really passionate about photography but no longer has time for it. And I don't think William is attractive.
But I think she's gorgeous and will look stunning on her wedding day. I'm with Shauni on the wishing I was her twin.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
I feel bad for her for these reasons more than not having a say in the wedding plans. But, as far as both wedding planning & 'regular life' go, it's not like she didn't know who he was when she got with him, or what would be expected of him some day. I just hope that these two have a better relationship than William's mother & father did. It will already be hard to live under a microscope - let alone pretending you're happy when you're miserable.
I don't feel bad for her - you know what you're getting into when you marry a Royal.
In other royal wedding news, I am SO FLIPPING EXCITED for my Royal Wedding Party. I have about 20 confirmed attendees, all wearing hats or tiaras. I am wearing my wedding dress, crusted with sand and salt water and all.
i am BEYOND jealous. i need friends so i can do stuff like this. YES.PLEASE.

This. I keep finding awesome ideas for parties (like this), and have no use for them. :-(
