Hey folks,
With all of the Canadian members on the forum I've been curious as to everyone's take (US, too) on the upcoming royal wedding.
Well, now you folks don't have to get up in the middle of the night later this week to watch it on the telly.
I flew to the UK on business last week, and was able to sneak in to an actual rehearsal (don't ask for details, I'm tight lipped about this).
Nevertheless, I had my cell phone camera rolling and was able to surreptitiously film it, and they never even caught me!!!
You can all thank me later for the extra sleep you got.

OK, first thought,
Why would I want to see the rehearsal, let alone the wedding.
Then,
Well it's from bob, so might have a nugget of something redeemable.
Watching video:
Yup, a rehearsal
Boy, these guys really can relax
Wait j-u-u-u-u-u-st a minute here, no way
Well, that is them alright.
Boy, these guys really can let go
Wait j-u-u-u-u-u-st a minute here, no way
Well, that is them alright
Boy, Kate and William really can boogie (for Brits anyway)
Wait j-u-u-u-u-u-st a minute here, no way
Well, the guest stand ins could be very close friends (very close)
Wait j-u-u-u-u-u-st a minute here, no way
Well, that really does look like the queen, not really getting down, but a bit loose however..
Wait j-u-u-u-u-u-st a minute here...bob posted this.......
Nice try, bob
Those stand ins were well selected, especially Fergie.....unless
Jolly good show, old bean.

bobrok...Thanks for posting this...This is just too good! *S* You made my day....
and, yes, I will be one of the crazies who gets up in the wee hours to watch it live...I did for Diana and I'll do it for her son. *S* Hubby said, "why not just watch the reruns"? but it's just not the same. *grin*

I watched Charles and Diana tie the knot with my girlfriends in 1981. I was just a kid then and staying up all night was fun.
Now, im kinda sick of hearing about it. lol......

I don't understand why anyone would bother taking any time at all to watch the event. Monarchies have outlived their time.

Quoting: hattie and, yes, I will be one of the crazies who gets up in the wee hours to watch it live
Well, these days, the only thing I get up for in the wee hours is to wee...come to think about it, that might why it's called 'the wee hours'.
Quoting: Anonymous I don't understand why anyone would bother
Yeah, I tend to agree, but royalty is royalty......kinda like great aunt Agatha's old vase handed down to your living room...just can't quite throw it away....'cause when relatives come over, ya gotta show 'em ya still got it.
In my youth, when greenskeeping at a posh private golf course, and in the process of mowing a tee, I shut down my equipment while a couple members were teeing up. These guys were owners of things......like NFL teams.
I asked, "Would any of you guys tell me the time?"
"Is he talking to you?"
Evidently, when I blatantly entered their realm, I became the third person....a botherance.....something to ignore, or an entity for fetching things.
My first taste of royal disdainment.
They couldn't even give me the time of day!
Yeah, let them eat cake...........I'd still like to watch the reverse of everything I stand for, however.

Got that right
Guess that makes me a cabin lemming.
Been a follower of 'stuff' forever...people, not so much.
Had things I'd shine, maintain, enshrine, and show off, carefully use, insure, and just plain admire.
Sumpm snapped a few years back.
Now I finally admire my elders, and those before me (that tried to tell me something), and now I try to follow the previously unheeded advise........things, not so much any more.
Hope the cabin lasts a few generations, so some offspring will maybe do a little heeding of their own.
Yeah, Just, we all worship/follow/admire something.
Royal family? Why not? Whatever floats your royal flotilla.

With all the bleak, sadness in this world, it is heartening to watch something so exciting and full of hope....and the Brits do it so well. *S* I'm no lemming but I do enjoy watching happiness; and for me, that's what it was all about. *S*

hehehe...I am familiar with that one as well. *grin*
Ya know....Hubby and I met online many, many, and a few more many moons ago when all this internet stuff was really new. We learned them all, but now there are newer ones out there (especially with this twittering going on and even shorter, shortforms are needed) that I still need to learn (or, at this stage in my life, don't need to learn). *grin* We used to make up our own little dictionaries of shortforms so we could understand what we were all saying to each other. *LOL*
