While I wish the Prince and Princess a happy and loving life together, I do not have TV service out where I live, and do not care for TV anyway. So I won't be watching.

Yes I will be up early to watch The Wedding. I am looking forward to seeing the whole beautiful affair! Planning to have tea and muffins!I watched Diana's wedding so long ago. My oldest daughter, then 3yrs. old, kept saying "that's Aunt Mary, that's Aunt Mary!" My sister could pass for her twin and even had the same hairstyle. This week I watched a re-run of Diana's wedding and it made me cry. It was so beautiful and ended so tragic.
I must say that her wedding gown is still the most beautiful gown I have ever seen to this day. I'm sure Kate's dress will be very different but magnificent for sure.

I watched Queen Elizabeth's coronation on that new fangled thing called a television. I watched Diana's wedding and I will be watching Will and Kate's wedding. It's all so much fun. Bonnie

I think I will be forced to watch more than I care to any way with all the coverage. That is unless the storms keep up and all we watch is weather coverage! Ha! The royal wedding may be a welcome break from weather alerts! I do want to see the dress. :) I despised Diana's dress. It did suit her though.
Wishing them the best and much happiness in spite of my disinterest in the event.

I will watch at least some of it. As several others have said, I too would like to see the gown.
I'd like to see the guests' couture as well. (I especially love to see big, beautiful hats worn well with an ensemble).
I always had a special fondness for Princess Diana. We share the same birth date (July 1) although I am two years older than her.
Also, I think she used her celebrity to do a lot of good.
I think her sons try to do the same.
As someone else mentioned--I am sure that Miss Middleton will be surprised at what she is getting into -- how could she not be -- but she has been with him for a long, long while. She seems mature. Unlike poor Diana...
Rightly or wrongly, I'm choosing to be optimistic for (will it be Princess?)Kate and about her ability to handle her new role.
Having said that--I snorted when I read Beverly's comments about something like "and we think WE have in-law problems." haw haw haw
Good one!
Ta Ta for now Dahlings,
Karen

Winona, when Diana married Charles she had just turned 20. A virgin. Sheltered. Knew absolutely nothing of the world or the nastiness of the "Royals". Quite unlike Kate, who is now 29 and can definitely hold her own. She knows what she's getting into, but with William, they will break the mold. I'm actually giddy with excitement to see how the haughty aristocratic world is going to be turned upside down (crossing my fingers!!!!)

I watched Charles and Diana get married. I always thought she was a bit of a fluff, kind of air-headed. She just seemed to make so many bad choices and then would seem surprised that it did turn out bad.
I watched a special on Kate and William and she seems lik she sure has her head on right. Seems very sensible.
Anyway, I'd have loved to be there watching, I guess I'll settle for driving my truck...heh...

I went and looked at pics and videos. They are such a relaxed elegant couple. Kate is stunning =) and I have always loved the Princes. I watched them grow up, go through the shenanigans of youth and turn into nice young men. William looks splendid in his Irish guard uniform =) I wish them many, many years of happiness and love together.

I was able to record all of it, and I also saw glimpses of her dress. She is such a pretty bride! I loved her dress, and I can't wait to watch the ceremony on DVR.

Such a huge contrast to Charles' and Diana's wedding. Their wedding was rather cold and "rehearsed". Will's and Kate's was warm, romantic, pulled-together yet poised, .....everyone could see the true love in Will's eyes, it was hard for him to keep his composure! Ahhhhhhhh! What a refresher!

I did like diana's wedding dress better. it was just more princess like to me. more fairytale looking... kates was pretty too but the bust parts seemed a bit pointy... hope that does not offend anyone but being a seamstress it just seemed that way to me....

Beverly I agree...just didn't want to say anything about the pointy bust part. Reminds me of my own mother's wedding dress. Absolutely hated that thing! Luckily it wasn't around when I got married. I made my own wedding dress. LOL!!!
