As a British subject, I couldn't care less how much it costs.

I have tried really hard to understand why anyone would possibly care about this and am drawing a complete blank. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I'm more interested in when my dog's next bowel movement will be...

I'm English and I'd have the lot of those royal leaches put up against the wall and shot.

I'm with texas crude, in fact I think his dog's bowel movement would probably leave a better taste in my mouth than the thought of fawning idiots cooing over the marriage of this dross.

I wish my home country was a constitutional democratic republic like the USA.

In my book "Monarchy" = "Eternal dictatorship"
Thank God we don't have a royal family that we have to pay taxes for them to be wealthy.

How would you guys like our dollar to look like the Canadian 20 dollar bill with the Queen of England on it?

Not as much as I thought I would be - I didn't even know the date 'til I googled it a few seconds ago. I was all over Diana's & Charles' wedding - woke up super early to watch it. However, I doubt I'll be up at 4am to watch it the way I did the 1981 wedding as a teen.

Haha was thinking the very same thing, US version of Buckingham Palace just happens to be white.

I'm Scottish and couldn't give a flying fart about the Royal Wedding, sorry ma'am. Saw this headline today "Unemployed English Girl to Wed Soldier from Welfare Family" ROFL.

You guys need to watch Sprout, Nick Jr & PBS on weekday mornings. This subject NEVER comes up which is why it's so far off my radar.
