Have 2 high school graduations coming, a granddaughter and great grandson, and a great-granddaughter's graduation from middle school. They are far more important to me then a royal wedding.<br /><br />MarilynMarilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.

He's not even good looking." It does seem lost on this generation, or maybe the same as my reaction to my mother's era of big band music, which I could never embrace. It's passe and the world has moved on. Some royal wedding news came on the TV the othe day and my kids moaned, "Ugh, not this again!" Considering Diana's fate, I think a little disinterest isn't a bad thing.Laura Spinellahttp://www.lauraspinella.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-22615296773695857562011-04-13T10:05:52.323-04:002011-04-13T10:05:52.323-04:00I didn't watch the first royal wedding, but I ...I didn't watch the first royal wedding, but I remember being in Chautauqua where we had bad reception on our single antennaed TV. I think my mother went to my grandmother's cottage to watch it. I've never been much obsessed with the Royals, but I did like Di very much. She seemed like a very good--if not lost--soul whose heart was broken by the icky Charles. Even if she never found true love, she sure had a generous heart and spirit. William seems much like her. I hope he and Kate live happily ever after. I can't imagine anything worse than living under a microscope.Susan McBridehttp://SusanMcBride.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-36006954950443922762011-04-13T08:46:57.542-04:002011-04-13T08:46:57.542-04:00Well, the bud never bloomed on the royal rose for ...Well, the bud never bloomed on the royal rose for me, but I too remember how sad it was when that young woman Diana, with so much potential and so willing to do some good in her world, died so needlessly.<br /><br />I was thinking it before your last graph, Mags: the bloom is off the rose. I think there is also a weariness and even intolerance of things royal around the globe. Monarchies just seem pretty silly and unwanted these days, at least more so than they used to.<br /><br />And, maybe because Prince William is one of two royal sons we may see get married in fairly short order it's less special? Or maybe people still have a bit of sorrow in their hearts and minds over Diana and so they aren't going to invest emotionally as much?<br /><br />The betrothed do seem like nice people and hopefully their day will be fun and happy even if they are pretty much forced to share it so widely.<br /><br />I've said it often and now again: it's very smart to never confuse your wedding with your marriage.Vicky Politonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-78561583431401727582011-04-13T08:01:07.764-04:002011-04-13T08:01:07.764-04:00I may not watch it as obssessively as I did Charle...I may not watch it as obssessively as I did Charles and Diana, but I definitely can't wait to see the gown.<br /><br />I collect teacups and have a small "royal" collection. Several of the current Queen Elizabeth, but also the commemorative teacup that was issued when Charles and Diana were married. I use the teacups when we have guests and folks enjoy choosing the pattern they like -- but rarely opt for the C/D one. Bad karma I suspect.<br /><br />MarianThe Stiletto Ganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667670723330755598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-51674423551575845572011-04-13T07:45:34.671-04:002011-04-13T07:45:34.671-04:00Definitely!

I really think her youth and inexperience was taken advantage of. <br /><br />Kate, on the other hand, seems much more prepared for the onslaught ahead. Hopely, she and Will will have the happily-ever-after his mother didn't.Maria Geracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296473703226019932noreply@blogger.com
