well the vote in british papers speaks for itself, 80% doesn't give a crap about them.
well its an issue of patriotism in canada too although not to the same degree. the queen of england is still the queen of canada also. but to show your patriotism you wish the new couple a happy future and good health and good luck and all that jazz. yes it is a significant day for the country but the idolization and the obsessiveness is pretty over the top imho.
anyways, best wishes to prince william and the girl he married (katherine?)
I was not that interested in the wedding to be honest, as I am not that big a fan of such social events, I didn't even know the name of the bride up until a few days before! But, as far as I can understand, for a lot of people, especially in Britain, it was a happy day, if not for anything else just for the fact that they could forget some of their troubles for a day and feel somewhat good. So good for them. As for the couple, who seem to be good people, from some things I saw on tv, about them, I wish them a long, happy, and creative life together.
Down with monarchs! Money sucking leeches.

I think the response to this thread is really sad to be honest. There's people complaining about blanket media coverage and then saying that no one cares. I mean what? If no one cared the streets of London wouldn't have been full, the media wouldn't have had story upon story about it and you wouldn't be talking about it at all.
Personally not caring about the wedding is fine, but condemning other people because we do care about it? There really is no down side to the wedding other than it taking up space in newspapers and broadcasts. If you can't get over that just to allow those of us who do appreciate the royal family to enjoy the day, that's pretty depressing.
The wedding, not to mention the Royal family and things related to them in general, brought in a ton of money. It gave us a bank holiday and made quite a lot of people very happy. That is enough to justify the hype. It really is. If you don't care, you could have gone and read a book, or gone for a walk. Or even played WoW. As far as brits are concerned, all you really had to do to avoid the wedding was not tune into BBC1 or ITV for a while. And let's face it - ITV is pretty shit anyway.
Why anyone cares about the Royal crap I will never know. Waste of time and money.
How has this thread not been locked yet, the amount of hate and ignorance is shocking...
The media coverage was/is pissing me well off, and putting me off the whole thing. There are more important things going on in the world than this crap...
I wish them loads of happyness, and can everyone PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT IT ?
Also, if it takes a royal wedding to make London bearable, then what a horrible place it must be the rest of the time ... (Been there and hated every second of it, but it's besides the point)

This sums it up for me. If you dont want to click then here is the headline.
"Did 1m kettles boil after wedding?" ..............I mean seriously!
While the negative reactions are a little over the edge, I also wonder what the point is, really? Several millions of pounds spent on one wedding, that could very well have been used for more important stuff. Also, watched the live broadcast. Hundreds and thousands of people standing out on the streets, so far away from the actual wedding they couldn't even view it with binoculars, "enjoying" the wedding...
Wha?
"In life, I was raised to hate the undead. Trained to destroy them. When I became Forsaken, I hated myself most of all. But now I see it is the Alliance that fosters this malice. The human kingdoms shun their former brothers and sisters because we remind them what's lurking beneath the facade of flesh. It's time to end their cycle of hatred. The Alliance deserves to fall." - Lilian Voss
British population: ~61m
People on the streets: ~1m
People watching it intentionally (not counting TV sets that are just on and no one watches, and people who don't care may watch too just to see how stupid the wedding is): I don't know - I will stick with 50% of 24m that is ~12m
61/ (1 + 12) = ~5
100%/5 = 20%
100% - 20% = 80%

Oh I see. It's a British thing, right?
People need to stop being such spoil sports. I don't care for the Royal family, nor am I Royalist, but their marriage brought in a shed load of money which is great for our economy, people were having a great time.. who cares if it's related to the Royal family, it was a perfect day to celebrate your own happiness. I had a bloody great time, epic street party and that's what it's all about, community fun.
Better than some, especially those that wished the wedding would get petrol bombed.
