The Royal Wedding!

Honestly I am pleased that Prince William and Kate Middleton are finally getting hitched, but listening to people discuss it 3 days in a row is pushing it a little. I mean they have been together for 9 years (we’ll ignore that little hiccup back in 2007) so it was going to happen at some point wasn’t it?

The more cynical among us might say that the timing of the royal wedding is impeccable. I mean there is nothing like a royal wedding to divert your attention from the lack of jobs, the recession, a new government that we didn’t technically elect and so on. Other people just like the whole aspect of a charming prince marrying a ‘commoner’ (Kate is definitely not a commoner by standards!)

But no matter what others may think, the media are going to have the time of their lives with the coverage of this wedding. It has all the main requirements for a fantastic news story as it involves, famous people i.e. the prince marrying a ‘commoner’, it’s a new chapter in the story of the Royal family, something which fascinates (and infuriates!) people in equal measures and it distracts people from the depressing news of the recession. Who knows, perhaps the merchandise and wedding memorabilia alone may help pull us out of a recession?

Seriously it will be a significant national talking point for a while and not just the event but everything leading up to it. And I mean EVERYTHING! I mean it hasn’t even been a week yet since they announced but already the papers have commented on... (and I apologise for the following link monstrosity!)

Kate and her new in-laws, her choice of dress, her future job. William and his new in-laws, his choice of best man, will he be following in his father's footsteps and so on.    

Other questions such as Is Kate posh enough?, Kate's family background, the choice of wedding venue, using Diana's ring, people copying the ring, the call for a national Bank holiday, Gambler's galore and so on.

And the questions they’ll ask...

• How much will it cost and who is going to foot the bill?
• What will be Kate’s official title after the wedding?
• Will the wedding be televised and where will they go on honeymoon?
• Which designer will get to dress Kate and how much will her dress cost? 
• Who will be William best man and who will be arranging his stag do?

Regarding the last question, please, please let it be harry... can u imagine? lol. Anyway the point is it’s a hassle trying to plan a wedding at the best of times, but with everyone watching your every move, critiquing, analysing... aah, good luck to the both of them :)

Oh and regarding twitter trends; Ryan Reynolds is voted the sexist man alive? lol! But despite this and the royal wedding annoucement taking over everything (see it's already started!), I have to say more importantly EID MUBUARAK EVERYONE!!!
