Okay, be honest. Who is planning on tuning in on Friday to the Royal Nuptials? Working or not working people, please chime in!
I am, and plan on checking in during the day on the Internet to hear all the hoopla!

Re: Poll
I could care either way. I'll probably catch bits & pieces of it, and it actually might be a nice change, to hear about at work ... LOL
I am going to tune in (mostly because I remember my mom watching Diana's wedding and how special that was, not that this one will compare IMO), but I am not this nuts:

Wow!!!
I won't watch it, I'm sure I'll catch the highlights on the news.
However, I do look forward to following Kate in her role. She seems like a cool person. I heard on the news today they intend to adopt from an impoverished country. Can you imagine the future king being from Malawi or somewhere like that? I think it's cool.
That would be cool, I'll give it to William for so far bucking the trend when it comes to royalty. Although I do wonder if there would perhaps be any rules regarding adoption and rights to the throne? It is still a really strict and outdated system - men get priority, must be a protestant, etc.

I'm sure I'll check it out some coverage to see the hats. Love the hats! And to see her dress, but that's about it. DH and I both have the day off and it's our anniversary so we'll try to spend the day together without Kate & Wills.
I did joke with DH that he has to buy me the commemorative sapphire ring I keep seeing on TV late at night because it's our anniversary and my birthstone. Thank goodness he has the good sense not to listen to me.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. This morning on the news they were talking about the strict rules of succession the English Royal Monarchy keeps to. Even if Kate and William have a biological girl she doesn't get to rule unless all of the male relatives before her can't. They said there is a lot of popular sentiment in Britain for changing those rules to allow women to be first in succession if this situation were to occur. I'm not sure an adopted child would be in the running
, but still a great thing for the two of them to do!
