Great Britain and the Wedding of Century.

As a male, I simply do not get the fascination with someone else's wedding. Other than being concerned about folks having a good time at my reception, I was barely concerned about my own wedding. LOL

As someone from the states, I simply do not get the whole idea of a monarchy. Their duties are mostly ceremonial, they are not essential to the operations of the UK, so what's the point? I get that this is part of a long and rich history, I get that it's the one constant in the British society, while PM's and the House of Commons folks may come and go, but it seems an incredible waste of money to me. BUT- since I don't live there, knock your selves out, folks. If enough folks got fed up with it, they would eventually abolish the notion, but clearly that's not happening any time soon.

God save the queen!
