Oooh! Waity Katie finally gets her man!

[Pinkjenny]

A Royal Wedding. Exciting.

Who really cares though?

'The wedding will be the biggest public event since the wedding of William's parents in 1981' - yeah, and look how great that turned out.

I hope the royal family have got better at taking care of consorts since Fergie and Diana

I want to see her engagement ring. And her dress.

Chateau, is that "taking care of" in the way the Mafia do?

LOL UD!

Is anyone else going "Oh God that is all we will hear for MONTHS now"??

Just me?

Will it be an austerity wedding like his granny had, buying her dress with clothing coupons?

In some ways I feel very sorry for her. Yes she's always had a relatively nice lifestyle, but my god, committing yourself to becomming Queen of the United Kingdom, when you've not been raised as royalty knowing it would always be the case? She is one brave lady.

There was I thinking he was always going to marry Cheryl Cole.

Unquiet Dad all we need now is a war that's none of our business on the other side of the world... oh, hang on...

At our school we got:

A mug, a coin and a tea towel for charles and Di's wedding.

Who cares?

I want to see the ring too. Have they made an appearance yet? DD is watching Waybaloo so can't watch the news.

Call me a cynic, but do you think this is carefully timed to take our minds of the all the other shit in the news?

Hope it's in summer when I'm out of the country.

You miserable lot! I think its lovely news

Damn. I was going to be Queen. I would have been a fabulous Queen Abs, but Waity Katey beat me to it
[grumps]

On the plus side, he's slowly turning into his father

I'll try to care if we get a bank holiday out of it!!!

Oh I think its nice.

Just hope they don't ban children or ask for cash as a gift

aww, how lovely!

traceybath - LOL

I wonder if she will post on here. "OMG my future MIL is a right PITA acting all haughty and regal like it is her f*king day."

I was only thinking the other day that I bet there will be a royal wedding to bring the country out of the doom of recession

UQ-such parralls with 1981

Love it, cute news.

Unquiet dad and Tracybath - what fantastic threads she could be part of.

I wonder if all the wedding party will do a choreographed dance?

oooh the politians will be pleased - a feel good moment to bring the nation together during these tough times.

Almost as good as winning the World Cup for a government isn't it?

Although in the charts in 1981, we had Adam & the Ants, the Human League, Soft Cell, The Specials, Kim Wilde and Depeche Mode.

In 2010 we have Cheryl Cole, Nicki Minaj, Tinie Tempah, the Black Eyed Peas, Joe McElderry and Rihanna.

Um.
