Kate Middleton and Prince William Fever — Will You Be Watching the Royal Wedding?

April 27, 2011 by Janice

I admit it.

I will be watching.

Prince-William-Kate-Middleton-Royal-WeddingProbably live. (I am often up working at 2am anyway, so turning on the Royal Wedding while I work isn’t that crazy for me.)

I just can’t help myself.

I remember sitting cross legged in the shag carpet in our family den, staring up at the TV and wishing, so hard it hurt, that I could be one of the flower girls holding Diana’s train.

I was seven years old. I could never imagine agony and deceit behind that day. To me, she was a princess — a real life storybook.

So, I just can’t resist watching now, thirty years later, as a much wiser woman walks down the aisle to meet Diana’s beloved son, Prince William.

To me, this royal wedding is fascinating, as Kate Middleton chooses Royal Life — a life that has included betrayal, divorce, and even beheading, for “lucky” royal brides.

But Kate Middleton seems like she will be able to take on the Royal Family and win. She appears to be strong, independent, and capable.

While no marriage, let alone the marriage between the future King and Queen of England, is without challenges and compromises, I am placing my bets on Kate!

What about YOU?

Will you be watching? Or does even the mere mention of the Royal Wedding irritate you?

    I was up at 2:45 am (I’m in Illinois) and I wouldn’t have missed this for the world! I feel just like you. I was 7 and watching Diana and Charles, the pregnancies, the death, and now this beautiful union of marriage between incredible peeps! I really missed Diana today, but she was totally there in spirit-you could just feel her. It’s a real life fairytale right before our eyes. With all of the doom and gloom in todays world it just feels right to feel something magical filled with hope and love. Oh ya, the two kisses were pretty fabulous to-HA!

    By the way Harry & Pippa are super super cute and did you see Kate’s brother James-totally a cutie, too! I would love to be at the reception that Pippa is throwing tonight (there will be disco balls there I heard) LOL!

    I will be watching but South Africa is only an hour in front of UK London time anyway. So I’ll be watching from 9am. 6 minutes to go!

    My entire family is British so I can’t admit that I’m NOT watching but I just like my sleep too much. My mom actually dragged me out of bed in the middle of the night when I was a kid to meet Princess Diana in person. The only thing I even remember about it is that I got a Hello Kitty coloring book out of the deal.

    My daughter and I will watch it live and have a ‘Princess Party’ where we wear our best dresses, and have tea and scones. Goofy, but she is sooooo excited! I have to admit, I am a bit as well. 🙂

    Originally I wasn’t going to watch it and I was getting really sick of hearing about it 24/7. As the time approaches though I find myself more curious and can almost guarantee I will be looking for clips online of it.

    Coverage starts at 4 am where I am with the wedding taking place around 5:30. I’m taking a power nap and setting the alarm. I can’t wait! (Don’t tell my boss, but I took a personal day to watch.) That’s how much I want to see!
