Anyone besides me excited for Kate and Wills wedding? I love all the pomp!!!!

NOPE!

Count me in I'll set my alarm for middle of night if need be -

Arlene is still ticked that she wasn't on the invite list. I think she was looking at airline tickets anyway; just in case she could get in. ;)

I am sure she will be up nice and early for the event. :D

Won't get up early, but I'll sure DVR it and watch it at a more reasonable time :D

I will be up all night watching! Karen and Joanna we will have to be on chat so we can discuss it live! I think Anne was going to be in London about that time. May be she will post here...

I just realized we booked a long weekend in Chicago during the OTHER Royal Wedding in Monaco so I will have to tape that one.

PS I was NOT looking at tickets!

We'll be in London but our royal invitation must have been lost in the mail :) ...There for a day & a half en route to Jo-burg :eek: :eek:

We'll be at La Residence in SA....not much of a time difference so I hope to see some of it....if not will see the re-runs.
Ray won't watch any of it, he's not much for the Royals.
Michele,it doesn't seem as if we will we be running into each other....have a wonderful time, I know we plan to.

Here's a link to the Official Royal Wedding website. You can also give them a gift - a donation to the Royal Wedding Charitable Gift Fund.

Don & Michelle, Here's a website that might help you scope out some viewings of Kate or William on their way to or from Westminster or throwing a street party!!! Maybe you'll get some fun photos to share with us.

You're right, Pat. I'm really going to miss seeing you & Ray! So wonderful that you will be going to La Residence.

Thanks Beth! I appreciate the website - I'm just hoping to make it to a fav restaurant....unless we have a wild inkling to go for it!

I was so upset that I didn't get an invite, that we decided to extend our pre-trip on ROAR. We'll be walking with the lions or playing with cheetahs. I will be taping it at home. I am royalty at heart. I must have been switched at birth.

The wedding is being aired on BBC America live but we don't get that channel in HD :(

Maybe the girls should just crash it since husbands not interested - hear the hot ticket is the evening party 300 invited...

They're also airing it on Fox News beginning at 4 a.m.

oh that is good news, Peggy! Last I heard, only BBC America had the rights to air it live

Thanks, Peggy

Arlene - put in a bid for an invite for this affaire d'coeur.

Prince Albert (52) and Charlene Wittstock (32), are set to marry July 2, 2012. She's an Olympic swimmer (born in Zimbabwe in 1978; moved to S Africa in 1990 with her family). Their honeymoon? Why, to Durban, to visit her family . And so it goes, friends .. another royal wedding next summer.

Cheers, Anne

Yikes, that's 5 hours worth. I'll be sound asleep dreaming of their wonderful wedding!

yeah me too Marcie, think I will have Frank DVR it and watch it later with coffee. I am excited though, just watched the Lifetime movie of their romance the other night.

I need my beauty sleep more. Anyway I only want to see the gown so I'll wait and see pictures in the morning.

I don't know why, but I am definitely going to DVR it. It's fascinating to me for some reason!!!

We will be flying and will miss the whole thing! We are landing at Heathrow that afternoon, so I hope the flyover doesn't delay our arrival. Maybe I can find some good commemorative souvenirs at the airport - can't be heavier than a scarf, thimble or postcard :)
