CAN WE STOP

Obsessing over the fucking Royal Wedding?!

P L E A S E

I’m dreading tomorrow. I drive in residential areas to get to my old dears, no doubt I’ll be held up by bastarding street parties and other nonsense.

its that all tv programmed will be over run with it.from morning till night.and then all the next days reviewing it. and then if meghan puts a foot wrong the fire people will spit at her I think im going to find really uncomfortable.

I posted a Royal wedding thread of my own just to spite ya

I am looking forward to it. We're not going to see this kind of pageantry and fuss again now until George/Charlotte/Louis marry - not in a positive sense anyway...

I've always thought that the Queen looks spectacularly awful in her dresses. Christ knows who designs her outfits. Mind you the she has always looked frumpy, even as a young woman.

Actually I think it's quite poignant that this will probably be the last time we see The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at an event filmed for the public to watch. I've made myself a bit sad now.

I actually agree with those who thinks the Queen looks cool in her outfits - outfits being the correct term!
She has her own style. Credit.

I quite like a Royal wedding, seeing what the bride and guests are wearing etc.

But this one seems to have brought out the worst in the tabloids and in the Mumsnetters who believe every word they say. Granted the brides family haven't exactly covered themselves in glory but she's hardly to blame for that!

All the moaning minnies on this thread can do one.
What's more uplifting than a good old British royal wedding on a (hopefully) gorgeous day?
Or would you rather another day of miserable news about Brexit, the economy, Trump, N. Korea, etc?
This country NEEDS some good news and some fun. I'm all for it.

Not a royalist, btw.

...who think...

You can't. Even our main national TV channel in Portugal is showing it.

Alas, I have a kids' football game to attend tomorrow morning.

You can stop what you want. Other people can be interested if they want. See how it works?

I am really looking forward to tomorrow.
I must gout and buy some pimms, champagne and smoked salmon bilinis. I might even bake a cake.

A friend is coming for the weekend & we will have our own little party watching the royal wedding.

Good luck Megan & Harry, hope it all goes well despite the upheaval over the last few days.

Missing the point of the thread completely......

I think the queen has her own unique look that no one else could get away with and it suits her. But I do find it amusing that no matter what brightly coloured outfit she wears, she accessorises with the same sensible black shoes every time! At her age I guess comfort is paramount.

Good day to go shopping thou as saddos will be watching it. Yeah -watching all that money from our taxes goin fown the drain..... Don't get me started... I'm offski...

Actually I think it's quite poignant that this will probably be the last time we see The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at an event filmed for the public to watch.

Maybe Harry will have another wedding in a few years, according to the voices of doom.

One what?

FFS I thought I'd avoided all the royal wedding threads. This is just a stealth one can't you add a trigger warning?

No. I'm enjoying it - there's a bit of drama and scandal, and what's not to like about ANY wedding? It makes a change from hearing about fucking Brexit, and gives us all a chance to focus on something happy, that frankly won't affect any of us plebs even if it does all goes tits up. I shall be stuffing my face with cake and getting happily shit-faced on six quid prosecco come tomorrow lunchtime .

I haven't heard anyone in the real world mention it today.

Apparently you can't stop, no....

I've actually managed to completely avoid anything about this wedding by dint of not listening to the news when they start on about it and not reading anything about it. The only time I've read anything about it is on MN.

It was from MN that I learned earlier this week that it is happening tomorrow, it's from MN that I learned that her family are doing rather a lot of weird things, although I couldn't tell you what those things are or who her family consists of, apart from that she has mother and father and some siblings; all learned from MN.

I'm going to do a bit of shopping for the dog tomorrow when all the hooha is going on and hoping that the roads will be quieter than usual.

So OP, if you want it to stop, you can make it stop by ignoring it.

DDs school had a Royal Wedding tea party yesterday afternoon. Lots of children left the building in paper Harry/Meghan masks. It looked half cute, half creepy.

So you’re not interested and you don’t care so you want to talk about being disinterested and not caring? I’m confused. Just get on with your day/life don’t talk about it etc and I imagine you will survive till Sunday without having it bother you....

Yes! Quite right too. Perhaps her shoes have to match her Launer bags which are usually black. (I am assuming she has more than one.)
