And don't be so hard on Victoria; she is very pregnant and I thought she looked fine, as she usually does.

Ewwww, yeah over 20 million £ just for the costs of the Metropolitian police, in times when they raise the taxes and cut funding for about everything the plebs needs, how wonderful to waste so much money for a wedding most of the country doesn't really want or care about, it would be better spent on schools and hospitals, not on two rich kids getting married.

Why do gay guys like weddings? PaHunk, what's up with that?
Even Anderson Cooper was ooohing and ahhhing.

I think part of the reason people are interested is the shared history of our countries. You don't have to believe in the Monarchy (as we obviously don't) to be happy for the royal family. I think part of the US interest in UK's royalty is the fact we consider the UK our best allies. The people here that are gaga about the wedding and the house of Windsor aren't as excited about any other European nobility.

Status: offline 		I'm not really all that fascinated with royalty, but I wonder why there's so much endless coverage about the royal wedding. Is it really that important?

I'm fascinated by history, though, and maybe past royalty might be significant and interesting. The Romanovs are a rather fascinating study.

But in seeing all this royal wedding coverage, it's like watching the Godfather Part III. You just know their best days are behind them.

the cost of it (and of the monarchy in general) is actually irrelevant, and its really counterproductive to get involved in discussions about the cost. its not the cost thats the problem, its the bizarre and anachronistic idea that a head of state should be decided on the hereditary principle,
and even worse that to continue this William must - or else he'd have ran a mile - geniunely believe that he has a divine right to rule Britain and the Commonwealth.

Just had word: lots of the UK's anti-royal sites on Facebook were closed down today. They couldn't be accessed.

What really boils my piss about royalists is that they can't stand knowing that non-royalists even exist. It ruins their vibe. Oh well, it's all over till the next big royal event when again and as always, pop will go the democracy and any toleration of dissent. And out will come the farties, happily waving their little Union Jack flags and proudly sporting their lobotomy scars.

Not from what I've heard. Any groups, basically, that might conceivably organise anything disruptive around the wedding. Anti-cuts groups in general have been pretty critical of the wedding. But whatever: it's kind of unnerving, most especially because the sites went down at this specific time. I find this news really bloody unpleasant.

well, you may well have heard different things but I dont know of any specific named anti-monarchy groups that have gone down. strangely one of the most active and influential regional anti-cuts groups has been untouched - which is where I read about this.

Status: offline 		THe ceremony and surroundings were beautiful. I loved the trees that will later be replanted. It gave it almost a medieval outdoor wedding feel. It sorta reminded me of Sleeping Beauty for some reason. I loved the classic, elegant gown. It was understated but fit her well. I don't understand why she wore her hair down though. I was hoping for a tight chignon with a little higher of a tiara. She still looked beautiful though.

All my best wishes to them both.

Here it is, Channel Four News - always the most liberal, and least into royal arselicking: http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/14669

But Facebook aren't saying anything other than about a bland TOS violation by these sites. No word, though, about why it all happened today. FB denies coming under pressure from the Met Police.

How tawdry. And more than a bit disturbing.

Well, thats your view, doesn't have to be mine. Quite frankly when the royals are so concerned about their safety, then they can also quite frankly pay for the safety which is put in place for them. I couldn't care less about the hereditary principle, but quite frankly do care about when the general public has to pay up such astrononomic sums

Status: offline 		in australia ... one of our quite controversial satirist/comedy programs was actually refused permission to use the footage of the wedding. In an agreement between the BBC and the ABc (australian broadcasting commission), this happened on thursday before the wedding.

'Chasers war on everything' is the show and they where scheduled to do an alternative broadcast live on one of our digital chanels (like BBC 4 etc) against all the big stations doing the usal pomp and stuff.
