I agree that it was a very low point in the interview ...
Here is a link for the interview :

An Ard Ri - Monaco should consider themselves lucky not to have to suffer the "canicule" (dog days / exceptional heat). Some parts of France are already afflicted with it....

Where to watch
What television stations are going to be showing both ceremonies. And what is the time difference between Monoco and Texas.

None (to my knowledge). You going to have to be happy to get it through the internet (in the US) at Consulate General of Monaco. CNN/Fox may have snippets. The time difference is 8 hours...so I'd recommend tuning in at 8 AM - Texas time.

Olivier Vernet is the organist of the Cathédrale de Monaco.
He's playing the organ for the wedding.
The music is still under wraps...
"Grand orgue, grand organiste, grandes émotions..."
He has eighty CDs to his name, and he is issuing a set of six CDs for the bicentenary of the birth of Franz Liszt.

Civil Ceremony:
Philippe Narmino is the Director of Judiciary Services.
He will be the Registrar for the A & C Wedding.
There is a good picture of him:

Btw, I'm most interested in the Belgium Royal Family, I was under the impression from a post a while back that Albert said the entire family would be there, thus I just figured that included everyone. Lol, wishful thinking on my part. 
And now with 4 days left there's still no official guest list, which makes me think they want it to be a SURPRISE! until the very last minute (i.e. the very day of the wedding)...

They often attend the weddings of foreign Royal Families. They also attended Victoria and Daniel's, much to everyone's shock as people felt they weren' "superior" enough, as Victoria is the heir apparent; however once again I believe Victoria wanted them there as she knew them on a personal level.
"The royal contigent will include the Earl and Countess of Wessex, to whom Charlene has formed a special attachment.

I can't wait to see Charlene's dress, I expect she'll look absolutely stunning. |
Once again, King Juan Carlos of Spain is listed in this article as Albert's godfather(just as he was in a Tatler article a few months ago)
When I pointed this out, I was informed that I was wrong. I know that Victoria-Eugenie is/was Albert's godmother, but perhaps King J-C is his godfather?

If indeed NO member of the Spanish Royal Family attends this wedding of a reigning Catholic sovereign, then it would be quite inexplicable and a snub of major proportions.
The late Queen Victoria Eugenia was Prince Albert's godmother, relations between the Borbons and the Grimaldis remained friendly even at a time when most European Royals tended to ignore them, and various Grimaldis attended Prince Felipe's wedding... which makes this decision not to send a single representative all the more surprising, to put it very mildly.

Once again the press took information from an article that was incorrect like saying Charlene was a school teacher when she wasn't and it was repeated in article after article. His godfather was Prince Louis de Polignac.

It's not surprising that internet mistakes are persistent and get copied again and again.
Moonmaiden23, I also still remain sure that it's been Prince Louis de Polignac
