How many of you actually care about the royal wedding? I won’t tease you.
I'm definitely interested in it. I won't be waking up at 4am to watch; but i will probably tape it.
The who ?
No. I wasn't even aware there was one happening.
Now that I do know I didn't need to.
Actually, I enjoy it. I grew up on the Canadian border and Canada is part of the empire. Also Queen Elizabeth's mother and I shared the same birthday. My ancestry is heavy English. So, I simply enjoy the pomp and circumstance. Kind of a bright spot to distract my mind for a bit from monster tRump.
I was/am marginally aware there is a wedding and who is getting married. Beyond that, I don't care.

I actually care more about my grass growing , I will sit and watch it grow while all the news programs will have it on.
I doubt I will watch it. I am a monarchist rather than a royalist. That means I believe our constitutional monarchy. It has formed a stable govt for centuries with very little crisis. Unlike many republics. i know its anachronism, having a hereditary head of state but the stability that comes with it is worth a little hypocrisy. Though I dont follow the royals or swoon over their antics. What does piss me off is the left banging on about how much this and that costs and why can
t we do something else with the money. The royal family has it`s own money to pay for this wedding and yes its true the get a wage from the govt. The tourism is just a small part of what they give back. The soft power is immeasurable. The very fact that we are discussing this on what is (for the most part) a USA site is gives testimony to that. You cannot buy advertising like this.
I couldn't care less. At the same time though I do cringe every time the bride to bes family do something embarrassing
Not so much about caring. More about a distraction from the debacle that is running my country currently. The historical spectacle is something a bit unique to the Brits who really put on a show. The fact that Harry has injected some serious new DNA into the lineage is socially progressive. A divorced Catholic, American actress of blended racial heritage is significant for the world. Embrace diversity. You go boy! Plus the women wear compelling hats. That is very important for the vapid crowd.
I was born in England to English parents. Nearly all my relatives live there. I grew up in Canada & the USA, and I want to abolish the monarchy, and I know so do some of my relatives and more Brits do, too. It's Americans who are really obsessed with this--so many Americans believe in fairy tale princesses. I swear, if a religion ever emerged around "Princess Di," it would start in the USA and would soon rival, if not surpass, evangelicals.
No interest. Watch a wedding and wait for the divorce.....!
OK... So I turned on the TV this morning to live coverage of the wedding. And I'm watching it.
Most men do not take interest as it doesn't involve competition or violence. It is social evolution. It is body decoration & art via fashion & attire. It is history & tradition. It is garnering tourist monies. It is parade. It is a visual feast. A distraction from the ugly nightmare of miscreants in the White House. A relief for constant embarrassment & fear for my country, & its Constitution.
I watched some. Only because they seem like they really are in love. They are really cute together. I hope it lasts!
