Royal Wedding Kate & Wills Fans

[SBETigg]

That's not an RWA conference is it, Sherri?!? They wouldn't dare do it on the same day!

It is, but a local chapter one, not the big one. It's the New England Chapter of Romance Writer's of America conference, two days of workshops and talks in Salem MA, followed by a big booksigning event. Planned well before the wedding announcement. I thought about trying to arrive the night before, so I can be there and watch some wedding instead of traveling during it-- but I'm only comped for one night, and we're buying a new house, so it's not really in the budget. I can't complain- pretty exciting things going on here. And I'm sure it will be all over the place for days.

That is very exciting Sherri!! I wish I could attend one of the workshops!!

I guess I just don't get it, not excited about this at all. I have absolutely no interest in this.

[SBETigg]

Kona, I'm sure there are lots of people like you, no interest. Most of them probably aren't responding to a thread titled "Royal Wedding Kate and Wills Fans" but I'm sure they're out there. My kids would agree with you, no interest.

okay, you can start a thread on that Just kidding, I understand some people aren't interested. I could go to my husband for that conversation.

I just went to London in February and visited Westminster Abbey. I'll be watching because I'll be curious to see the Abbey and "the dress" of course. I remember getting up at 4 am with my Mom and watching Diana get married.

Very cool Jill!! I have that on my list someday! Did you get to go to Kensington Palace? I heard they have a permanent exhibit of Diana's gowns there.

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

Yeah, I have tried all of the grocery stores in the area (which are quite a lot). I am now checking into specialty stores. I know there is a place that carries a lot of imported english foods, but alas, way in Virginia and would take me more than an hour and a half just to get there via driving then metro.

So...for those of you watching, what network are you going to tune in to? I'm thinking I'm going to go with BBC America. Any reason I should tune in elsewhere?

[princessgirls]

I remember watching Charles and Diana's wedding with wide eyes as a girl. My sister and I played wedding outside for hours after that, using beach towels for our dress and train.

I am so excited for William and Kate. They seem to truly love one another. I am sad that Diana did not live to see this day. Diana was a normal Mum to her boys and loved them!! They really are images of their mother, with their good looks, willingness to serve, and charm. Diana would be very proud.
From all appearances, Kate seems to be a lovely young lady..and NORMAL!!
Can't wait to see the DRESS!!

I realized I don't have to be at my conference until 2 pm, so I am waking up early to watch! Yay! BBC is probably a good choice. I'll probably flip between networks for a bit and then choose one that looks best. Wish I was watching at the Dolphin, though. That sounds fab!

BBCA is my choice also. No commercials!!!

[murphy1]

Probably watching BBC here, too. If Anderson Cooper is on, will watch CNN too. I wanna see the dress! It's hilarious they are putting disco balls in the palace (Diana would have loved that). I quit watching TV for now, sick of hearing about it and just don't want to watch anymore coverage until the day.

Mom is looking forward to seeing the wedding and I really wish we could be together to watch it, but things aren't going as we had hoped. I have a presentation tomorrow afternoon and Mom lives 4 hours away. She just had major back surgury (a huge surprise) so she can't be here like we had planned and will likely sleep through the entire thing. So, I have spent about an hour going through the channels to see all the coverage leading up to the wedding, the actual wedding, and then the after-wedding stuff. My DVR is now fully occupied for most of the night and into tomorrow evening! I'm graduating on May 14th so Mom will be here for about a week...I'm planning to have all of this to keep her occupied and not helping with the packing of my apartment! I can't wait to see the dress so I'll probably be watching alone and then with Mom (unless I convince the fiancee that he wants to watch a little with me but I'm not holding my breath!)
