I'll be watching live since we got the day off for it & all. Then my street is holding a street party in afternoon so will probably go mingle with the neighbours for a bit. ;)

By the by I'd be careful about any news you read today, it is 1st April & the UK press love a good April Fools & seeing if anyone believes it. They can be quite crafty with slipping in something ridiculous that you believe for a bit then realise how silly you've been! Lol!

I think the ring on the little finger thing - which I hate by the way :tongue: - is an old tradition for men in the upper classes, nobility etc. Started with the signet ring being worn on that finger, back in the day when signet rings were really in proper use, & then I guess just became the...

Really? Oh, maybe it's because I'm used to more modern pictures & seeing him for the last 10-20 years rather than earlier years, I can't actually recall him ever wearing a ring of any kind, signet or wedding. Oh well, nevermind. Like I said earlier a ring does not make a marriage & if both are...

Prince Philip has never worn a wedding ring. It's actually a relatively new custom for men to wear wedding rings, used to be unheard of.

With regards to William not wearing a wedding ring, I'm not surprised really, if he had a signet ring then maybe I'd expect him to follow his father & uncles in wearing a wedding ring under the signet on the little finger but since he doesn't have, or has never worn, a signet ring then I wasnt...

Indeed I think when photography was still fairly new it took a long time with the exposure & flash etc for the photo to actually work so you had to stay still/posed for a fairly long time & it was obviously easier & more comfortable to hold a more stoic pose with little expression than a big...

Haha, me too! I'm not really bothered about the Godparents because firstly I probably won't know whoever is picked as my knowledge of the likely candidates is pretty much zero, plus godparents aren't really of any interest to me anyway regardless of the child. ;) My interest is entirely on the...

Indeed, yes I think it's almost entirely down to the media itself creating it all & going a bit OTT with everything (whilst at the same time knocking it & saying "oh aren't we all so tired of this all!") And yes certainly the commercialisation of the event is mainly down to individual...

I'm excited for the wedding itself, I can't wait to see these two finally married after however many years it's been & I'm excited for their future together & them eventually taking on a more & more prominent role in public life & in their future royal duties. I am, however, getting a little...

Well if I were Kate, I'd never read anything that was written about me, good or bad. Maybe I'd have to have someone go through the paper & take out the pages with me on them but one way or another there is no way I'd read it. Asking for trouble either way, either you'd get a big head from the...

I kind of agree, not that I know him of course but I don't really see him marrying for a good few years yet. I'd see him getting married in his 30s sometime, maybe to Chelsy, maybe to someone he meets later but I don't really see him settling down & marrying within the next 5 years at least...

I'm sure they will both still let their hair down so to speak & have fun with trusted friends etc but be a lot more discreet & private about it than in previous years. And I think that's right & fair for them to be able to do so. Everyone in my opinion, even Royalty, should be allowed to enjoy...

Wow, I so have to get married in America! I think if I were ever to get married my Mum & Grandma would frown upon me having anything other than a fruitcake Wedding cake even though I, the Bride, would be unable to eat it! :lol:

Ah, thanks for all the info everyone! Very helpful :flowers:

I need to move to America! Or at least only attend American weddings! :lol: I've never attended a wedding where the cake wasn't a fruitcake, but at least I have good reason for not eating it so I'm not appearing rude by rejecting their cake ;) Oh and agreed on your above post about the...

Excellent! I'm glad, though really it was the only sensible choice if you ask me. I dread to think of how much media attention/headlines/comments etc would have happened had they all gone to a club or pub crawl in London like some reports speculated. I've also heard that William did have his...

I'm allergic to nuts so I've never had to suffer through the wedding cake whenever I've been to a wedding. Though even if I could eat nuts I'd still hate fruitcake as there are variations that are nut-free that I've tried & well...I'm not a fan. My nut allergy though does mean whenever I maybe...

I've been wondering - since I'm not particularly clued up on the Danish RF or their ways of doing things & only recently learnt anything them - how does this name thing work in reality? I get that they don't publically announce the name or anything til the christening but do they know privately...

I would really love it if both William & Kate have managed to have their stag/hen parties without too much fuss/media attention. They should be allowed to have a bit of a party like every other bride & groom without worrying about someone in the media moaning about it/attacking them etc. Many...

Well I suppose if their name is legitimately Kate/Catherine Middleton, it's a little harsh for them to be kicked off facebook simply because they share their name with a famous person (unknowingly of course since these people's parents obviously wouldn't have known a Kate Middleton would...

I've personally never heard it called a stagette party, I know Americans tend to call it a bachelorette party but again I've never known that to be used in the UK. Then again many people who know me say I'm prematurely old beyond my years so maybe I'm just completely outdated! :lol:

From twitter: @Regaleyes Savannah Phillips , the Queen's only great grandchild, had her 1st public outing today at Little Gatcombe Horse Trials. So perhaps some picture of some sort may appear soon...though I do hope they weren't all harassed by photographers trying to get a picture of the...

By the by, not that it really matters, but the women's/Bride's version of a stag party is known as the hen party. ;)

There was a news report (no idea if true or particularly trustworthy usually) that said William travelled in normal economy class booked under the name Mr. Pinkerton-Smith. Found one report of it though I've read it elsewhere as well but could just be rumour & what have you ;) Royal Roundup...
