Royal Wedding

Since there isnt a thread about it and even though I'm (unofficially) atheist:

I have no idea why I had to go school today, it was only from 1pm to 3.30pm and all we did was waching the wedding (and talking about the architecture of the church and other buildings in London on my Visual Arts (History) class).

Several people I know got up at 1am/4am (or stayed up) to watch it. I just watched a few clips and boy was that boring.

They look kinda awkward up there. haha

Didn't even know there was a wedding.

I should be the one complaining. WHY THE HECK DO I HAVE LECTURES TODAY??

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge... whatever... just don't keep disturbing us. Already the Queen came to annoy St. Johns people on Wednesday... my friends missed like 3 lectures... hope she can catch up.

It cost well over 20 million pounds in tax payer dollars.

(E.G. What's the difference between an official and unofficial atheist? Is there some registry process I'm not aware of?)

He's most likely still a member of the church or so.

OT: I don't really care, but grats to them or something.

I don't understand why people are acting like this is the biggest singular event of their generation, when that will clearly be the second coming of Jesus on May 21.

Well, Swedens just had royal wedding as well, it isn't that big thing, you are right. But Diana probably gives more emotional depth for this wedding.

Also, lol'd at this picture:



When you see it...

Boring... I saw it for two minutes this morning on tv and quickly changed channels. When I was putting on my shoes for work, they were exchanging vows.

AND LOOK AT THAT PICTURE, that little girl can't even HANDLE IT!

she's gonna be SOOO grounded, but to photobomb a royal wedding... A+ girl.

I don't give two shits. Really.

Not really interested, but congrats to the royal couple.

I'm sure she loves him for his personality.

AM I RIGHT, LADIES?

I created a topic in the funhaus regarding the photobomb.

Grace van Cutsem, you aer teh winnar for instantly making this not boring!

It's not the question that it's just another marriage. Because those are not rare. But the fact it represents a deep change in traditions. A no longer virgin, graduated, not even close to the royal family getting married with the prince is just as inovative and of an attitude as the attittudes of Lady Di. It represents a huge change, an evolution on breaking traditions that no longer make sense in the year we are. She's breaking all the "laws" about the royal family, and that's what make her so different and innovative, that's what make it special, the population approves this fight with such irrelevant and useless traditions.

I thought the royal family was a figure head.

No, no... It's stll boring.

Well at school today we got to watch the wedding (Only in 2 classes) and letme just say I was bored. I'm not trying to be mean though. Just IMO

I know of what this may mean for the monarchy, I like a good show (which it was), but really they may as well have taken a leaf out of the book of EXTREME advertising. So much build up, so much coverage, so many spin-off documentaries containing so much pointless over-analysis and so many "royal wedding specials" of totally unrelated programs, so many special commemorative offers in virtually every store which were all decked out in union jacks somehow, so much everything. This over-saturation cheapened the event and led to it being seen as some unbelievably momentous earth-shaking occasion with explosions and shi't that'd affect the entire world when in actuality due to the almost ornamental nature of the monarchy these days this really was just a very expensive wedding that was barely more eventful than your regular wedding and affected very few people.

Didn't stop broadcasters citing figures of 2 billion viewers mind. >_>

I watched a bit while i was eating it seemed a bit drawn out but grats to them nevertheless.
But we all got a day off, not that it bothers me since im outa work and college atm
