Are you going to watch the Royal Wedding?

[KayleeUK]

I am :) DH is more looking forward to the Grand National and the Golf today!

[SplashMtn]

Yes I'm watching- and thought the few boos were disgraceful. :sad2: :mad: :mad:

[natalielongstaff]

no !! :blush: :blush:

[Ware Bears]

Yes I'm watching......one eye on the TV, the other on the PC!:hyper2:

[mandymouse]

No !!

There was a survey on our local radio station asking 'What are you most looking forward to on the TV today ?' and Ant & Dec's Takeaway came first with Dr Who a close second, the Royal Wedding came last :rotfl2:

I must admit I forgot it was on!

But if folk have been booing then I am glad I didn't watch. I wish them both well :) (Charles & Camilla, not the booing people!)

[lagunn]

no i will not be watching but i wish them all the best... :sunny:

[mike230652]

No...... personally I couldn't care less about either of them.

Having said that those who booed them should be ashamed of themselves. If you disagree with their wedding ... for whatever reasons.... then stay away.

I am!! I think that, personally, it's been awful the amount of publicity (both good and bad) that these two people have had. I sure that everyone wishes them well.

Do as you would be done.

I watched it and I thought it was done very well and tastefully, I wish them all the best. :)

[diberry]

"Do as you would be done by."

Is that what you really wish for them??? So who will they each be having affairs with then?

They weren't the first and they will certainly not be the last people to do something that they shouldn't have.

My point was that they should be allowed to get on with their lives and be left alone. I, for one, am fed up with seeing page upon page of rubbish written about people that are in the public eye. Everything that happens to members of the Royal Family and, celebrities, for that matter, happens on a daily basis to someone else somewhere in this country. Just because they are famous doesn't mean that they aren't entitled to some privacy.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Andy

[jen_uk]

Well said! I think its time to let all the Diana stuff go now and just let them get on with their lives and be happy together! :)

[diberry]

OK Andy I apologise - I wrote it tongue in cheek but it obviously came across differently - sorry!! :) I agree that they are by no means the only people in the country to have committed adultery and I also agree that there is far too much rubbish (probably largely fabricated) written about famous people. Everyone should be entitled to have a private life. I also agree 100% with "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". However I would add that with great privilege comes great responsibility and the way in which they have conducted themselves has not set the best example to others and I find it very difficult to see how Prince Charles can reconcile his past behaviour with his future position as Head of the Church of England. However I do hope they are happy together and I'm sure they will be.

[florida sun]

I'm not ashamed to say I watched it from begining to end and throughly enjoyed it. They both looked very very happy, it was very tastefully done, and as I have said before as long as their children are happy for them, that's what really matters.

Good luck to them, I really do hope they have a long and happy life together.

[Goofyish]

I watched the service at Windsor - it was nice to see the royal family looking so relaxed :)

I had to laugh when the coaches pulled up to take the royals back to the castle for the reception - they looked like they had never been on a coach before :)

[Cochise]

. :rolleyes:

[diberry]

I don't understand most of what you said Cochise - Prince Charles admitted his adultery - it's not an idea "twisted by the press". I think your idea of a perfect ending is a lot different from mine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and also entitled to express it. I am also Welsh but one of the "idiots with a Diana flag" - Princess of Wales too, I believe.

[shellbell]

I too watched the wedding all the way through and enjoyed it :cheer2: I wish them all the luck and happiness in he world. Neither of them have done anything that thousands of normal people do everyday. We all make mistakes and God forgives us for them. Both Charles and Camilla have paid for theirs.

Three cheers :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

Haven't followed this so did not watch wedding ;)

[diberry]

OK Cochise - can we just agree to disagree and part friends?? :sunny:

[florida sun]

The truth of the matter is Camilla is offically The princess of Wales although she has chosen not to use that title for obvious reasons.

I am also Welsh, still live in Wales, and it does'nt bother me at all. After all Diana also admitted adultry, and before anyone tells me it was after Charles though, 2 wrongs still dont make a right.

The boys seem happy enough, they adore their Father and like any of us, only want their parents to be happy.

Di, you are right, everybody is entitled to their own opinions, and mine is that life is far to short to live it on your own, if there is somebody out there you love and who loves you back.

This coming from a woman whose husband left her for a friend,seven years ago,As long as he's still a good dad to our daughter, life go's on. If I can forgive, anyone can.

Sue :wave:

[kazzie]

I agree with Mike,I couldn't care less about the marriage ( of overpriviliged people,my words not Mike's!) but wouldn't condone people booing,that's horrible.

For the discussion regarding Prince Charle';s indiscretions being long ago everyone can make a mistake etc.I completely agree with that only in I feel in Charles case it was different.The upper class behave in a different way when it comes to monogamy,ie it isn't one of their morals.I really believe in the eyes of the aristocracy/royal family etc, the worst thing Diana did was being extremely common about expecting (as us real mortals do) that her husband would be faithful to her.In the aristocracy's eyes, not turning a blind eye to affairs is a working/middle class thing and is vulagar.Had Diana (who I really liked) been able to live like expected with her husbands long running affair,she would still be alive and still be 'married'.So she then started on lots of souless affaris of her own,I believe this isn't the way she wanted to live.

Andrew Parker Bowles (Camillas original husband) was called a cuckold.He was nothing of the sort,there was no secret affair kept from him.He knew all along his wife was Charles mistress as he had mistresses of his own.It was only the press who made him out to be an idiot for 'standing for it',that ended their very successful upper class marriage.

I'm not defending what I see as their attitude to marriage,it is one of the reasons the royal family/aristocracy disgusts me and proves IMO they are so far removed the from the lives of ordinary people :sad2:

[lagunn]

sue you have the right attitude and your reply echoes mine completely...
also from a woman whos husband ran off with a so called friend....

[snookhams]

Good luck to them both, my only problem would arise should he become king, I would have a difficult time respecting him as the head of the Church of England!, which is I think part of the reason that the Queen did not attend the civil service. That's not to say that I don't agree with divorce or remarriage wether civil or in a church, happiness and a loving relationship are important. I suppose what I am really saying is I don't know how I feel about it, it was strange though that we said no prayers for them in church this morning, now was that because the person who was on prayer ministry did not agree or was instructed not to mention it or just forgot - this is a debate that will go on for a long time yet, but basically I wish them both happiness that's nothing less than we all deserve!!!

[diberry]

Well, having decided not to write any more as I seemed to be annoying people, I just have to say that snookhams put my thoughts into words perfectly. I do hope they're happy - I've never seen Prince Charles look so happy and relaxed as he did in the photos on the front of the papers this morning and of course we should all forgive past mistakes - Sue and lagunn have illustrated that magnificently in their own lives - but as a committed Christian it's really hard to accept Prince Charles as the future Supreme Head of the Church of England given the Church's teaching on divorce. It's just really difficult.

[Queenie]

I don't agree that Charles should have been allowed to marry her and remain head of the Church and become king. His line of the family wouldn't even be in power if King Edward had been allowed to marry Mrs Simpson without abdicating. Why should it be any different for Charles?

However that is only my opinion and I certainly don't think that booing at the wedding is in any way the right way to act. If you don't agree with it all then just stay away and ignore it. That's what I'm doing and I'm happy with that decision!! :)

[UK Crowbirds]

:flower: So much controvesy!! :scratchin Surely I wasn't the only one who was more interested in looking at the fashions? princess: And listening to the music :music:

Although I agree that Charles and Camilla are not the perfect example of good behaviour, either as members of the Royal Family, spouses, etc, surely we can consider them as human beings, flawed as we all are, and wish them happiness as :bride: and :groom:

Only half watching though, as I was preparing for a much more important event - My daughter Hannah's 18th Birthday party :cheer2: :cake: :cheer2:
Which was fantastic, although she was very :drinking1

Thanks to all of you who sent her greetings on Tuesday:flower2:


Next time I go to WDW I would like to travel like this :teleport: , but then I always watched too much Star Trek

[diberry]

Happy 18th Hannah!!! :bday: Yes, "beam me up" would be brilliant - you can never get too much of Star Trek!!! :cool1:
