It's not everyone's cup of tea, even some Brits won't be watching it. But their expecting over 2 billion people to tune in on Friday.

The UK has been given a days holiday for it, so i'll be up at 6.a.m because that's when it's on t.v.
My neighbours are also talking about having a street party like most of the country so l hope it happens

I will watch coverage of it for sure, but not 'as it's happening'. Here in America, we have entertainment news from 7-8 P.M. and even an entire channel called "E" that covers entertainment 24/7. The reason why I like Kate is because of all the nice anecdotal stories about her-- that she is a very nice person naturally (and it shows on her face IMO). The Prince needs a good nice woman by his side and his family has endured much sadness, so happiness is a nice change of pace!

>Edit: Oh
I wrote about "E" as you were posting, Susan

I watch that channel quite a bit here. I'll be watching it on SKY which covers things better than what the BBC do these days IMO, but no doubt i'll be flicking channels during the run up.

Ooh, street party sounds like fun. As an American though, its my patriotic duty to oppose monarchs... so maybe I'll watch disapprovingly too see how many tax dollars went to that.

Actually, l mentioned her hair as well to my sister on Saturday. I'm hoping it's up or half up because l think it looks lovely with a veil


They were talking to a girl on breakfast t.v. this morning who was in the year above Kate at university, and she said no matter what she wore, even when she went running, her hair was always immaculate!.

The wedding is on in the middle of the night here, so I'll be taping it. I'm looking forward to seeing it!

I waking up early through I don't have cable TV so I'll be watching what the networks have for coverage. Though I read that American TV networks will not be allowed in Westminster Abbey so they will be buying the feed from either SKY or BBC I suppose.
I'll have my coffee and wither some scones ot Irish soda bread for an early breakfast.
I like the pagentry of the entire process! I was relaying this to my much younger male co-workers and they can't understand the fuss.

Mu time zone the coverage is at 3 am but I won't get up until 4 am.

Of course I'll be up in the wee hours of the morning to see this wedding. I have always loved the monarchy. When I was a little girl I had scrapbooks of all the royals with any pictures I could find in any magazine/paper. Charles was just a little boy. I also have a plate from Queen Elizabeth's coronation which I remember begging my mom to let me eat off it from time to time. It is trimmed in 24K gold so I didn't get to do that too often.

I remember getting up to see Princess Ann's wedding and Diana's wedding and this one is going to be just as fabulous.

As Linda says, your Queen is also our Queen and a fabulous old gal!

We'll all have to connect on Skype during the wedding!
