I have been very busy (new job yay!) and not around here much, but wanted to see if there were others excited about "the wedding".

I am most excited to see Kate's dress. I got up and watched his parent's wedding (I think W&K will have a better time with marriage and they seem fairly compatible).

Um, slightly excited. It's a little embarrassing.

I was obsessed with Charles and Diana when I was a girl, so naturally I'm interested.

**TysMomTink** · 03-30-2011, 03:31 PM

I'll go ahead and admit that I will be watching. I am up early mornings anyway and I'm a sucker for a good fairy tale. Best wishes W&K

There is a good show running on TLC right now about them. Mel, I thought you were one of the ones interested, too. I think Kate is a great young lady.

Yes, I do think Kate is a great young lady as well, and think she will do well in the role. At least to the public eye, this seems like a very genuine love. I sure hope so!

Yeah, I don't know if you saw my post on FB about this, but my childhood friends even remembered my obsession with C&D. LOL

I'm very excited - what time will I have to be up? It's a shame Diana isn't here to see it but she'll be in their thoughts.

**MNNHFLTX** · 03-30-2011, 04:24 PM

I'm looking forward to the wedding too and will watch it, partly because it takes place in Westminster Abbey and we've been there before (and partly because because I'm a hopeless romantic). I, too, am curious about what dress design Kate will choose; I'm sure she will look very beautiful.

Having friends in the U.K., I can tell you they are beside themselves with excitement. In fact, all of England was so ripe for a "royal" wedding last summer when we were there that the media made a big deal of the wedding of Chelsea Clinton (more so than we Americans did).

**luvdiznee** · 03-30-2011, 04:32 PM

I'm willing to watch.

**Daisy'sMom** · 03-30-2011, 05:06 PM

I was such a fan of Diana's and will be up watching much to the chagrin of my family. I just felt my heart leap when Willliam gave Catherine his mom's ring.

**murphy1** · 03-30-2011, 05:46 PM

Mel, nothing to be embarrassed about! I watch all their weddings, I think Edward and Sophie and then even Chas. and Camilla's. With so much bad stuff going on in the world, it's fun to have these things to watch. I am excited about the wedding and Harry Potter 7 Part 2 this summer. Oh, and I love the part of Wales they live in, I thought they were going to have to stay in London more.
From what I know of coverage, the Today show will start that morning at 4:30 am (EST) and CNN will air it starting around 6 am.
concerning her dress, does she have to wear sleeves?

I am looking forward to this too. Mom is a huge Diana fan so I grew up hearing about her wedding.

**QTPie68** · 03-30-2011, 10:33 PM

I took the day off of work so that I can watch the wedding!! I am even planning a little "tea party" for myself during the event - - scones, tea, little finger sandwhiches, etc.

**TheDuckRocks** · 03-31-2011, 12:28 PM

I'm in! I just remember so clearly when Diana and Charles married and getting up in the middle of the night with my daughter to watch (don't tell anyone but my 2 then teenage boys joined us). My daughter and granddaughter are planning on coming over to spend the night. Thank you Candi for the great idea about having a tea party. A lot more class than popcorn and soda.

**DisneyMom12** · 03-31-2011, 12:42 PM

I also am looking forward to it. I think they are a great couple, and think she can handle the media. I hope they have a long happy life together.

**murphy1** · 03-31-2011, 05:20 PM

That is a great idea for a nice high tea! I love that! I wish we could all get to the Grand Floridian and have tea and watch it, that would be fun!

Shari

**QTPie68** · 04-02-2011, 01:43 AM

I am glad you all like the Tea idea, it just seemed fitting somehow, and of course, I don't ever really need an excuse for some scones.

My only problem is trying to find some real Devonshire/clotted cream in the area....I wish I could have some sent from the Grand Floridian

Try the import section of your grocery store. My grocery store carries some from the Devon Cream Company and it's very good.

I also really loved Diana, and I got up super early to watch all the royal weddings. Loved them all, but of course Charles and Diana's was THE wedding.

And I am so bummed! I have to speak at a conference in Salem MA on the very day of the William and Kate wedding! I'm excited about the conference, of course, and thrilled to have been asked to give a workshop presentation. But, I will be in the car driving to Salem and will miss most of the wedding! Can you imagine? Ack! Why that day?

**murphy1** · 04-02-2011, 07:18 PM

That's not an RWA conference is it, Sherri?!?

They wouldn't dare do it on the same day!

DVR!

I know, not the same, but not an option we had back in '81.
