ATS Suvey: Are You Looking Forward Towards The Royal Wedding?

Britain is putting the crowning touches to the preparations for Friday's wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton as the world gets set to tune in for the biggest royal occasion for 30 years. Two billion people are expected to watch live on television and the Internet to see the eldest son of Princess Diana and his commoner bride tie the knot after a romance that began at university in Scotland eight years ago. Rain is set to fall on the big day but that is unlikely to dissuade hundreds of thousands of revellers from cramming into London, with the first die-hard royal fans camping out in front of the Abbey since Monday. Around 1,900 guests including foreign royals, politicians and celebrities including Elton John, David and Victoria Beckham and Rowan Atkinson have accepted invitations to attend the exclusive ceremony. British police have launched a massive security operation involving some 5,000 officers, including armed protection specialists, and warned that they will "robustly" deal with any protests during the wedding. Some 650 guests have been invited to the reception at the palace, while the hottest ticket in town will be a dinner-dance hosted by Prince Charles for a lucky 300 or so people. Thousands of street parties are planned, including in Middleton's home village of Bucklebury in southeast England, while the British government has declared a public holiday and pubs are allowed to stay open late.



Well ATS'ers only two days left, and the question is; Are you looking forward to it?

Yes
No
Not Bothered

Plus your opinion about the wedding.

Seriously why would I care about about 2 people getting married that probably wouldn't pee on me if I was on fire?

Honestly I could care less for the elites.

No
I'm not looking forward to the marriage of a utter elitist moron with a skinny middle class copy of mama
I can't even understand why plain folk would like to celebrate this event, an event we pay for in the first place.
I feel the best thing monarchies can do is disappear. The sooner the better. Let the Middle Ages come to an end at last.

I think it's all disgraceful and to be honest I am sick and tired of seeing and hearing about the wedding everywhere, on every TV station, in the adverts, on posters around town, in the papers etc. etc.

Such a pompus display and waste of millions of pounds of money for the murderous rich royal elite to show what they've got while the poor just plunder on trying to make ends meet

I'm not bothered. Really.

Nope, I resent the whole idea of monarchy and I cringe when I see the poor idiots on telly fawning over the royals.

Vive la republic as our French friends say.

No, I cannot believe that people are that stupid to care about it. Two elite people having a monster wedding costing enough money to feed the hungry? Shame on them, good thing the "royal" family cares about no one but themselves.

Oh, and no way they stay together, William looks more and more like a horse everyday, and Kate is very pretty. Their either divorce or Kate will become an adulterer, like Diana was...

I hate that people are even going to watch this crap. They should have subliminal messages in it for the people watching to jump off a cliff...

Pred...

The who what now?
Is that like some kind of jelly or something?

What Wedding?

I am not British so my opinion on this subject does not count. However I find the idea of monarchy as being against the human spirit and against the human rights, as being born in a certain family would force you to pay tax to people being born on another family. If the monarchy would not use any public money nor have any political power, they could give to themselves whatever titles they want.

Talking about the wedding - I see most of the ATS-ers are against Any lady being also against? Just curious, as ladies are more fascinated by weddings.

National day off for the wedding is also interesting manipulation, I guess it is an attempt to create positive memories associated with the wedding in order to build acceptance trough neuro-association. Slaves allowed to enjoy when their masters get married haha.

I did not care one iota about this wedding, until I read this OP.

Wasting something like £45 million of tax payer's money is nothing worth celebrating about. After the hysterics of Friday are over, nothing will have changed except the country will be $45 million worse off.

Haha , this one is one of my favorite of Mr. Bean. Funny enough, Mr. Bean is the most loved Brit outside Britain

Its just a bit of self-indulgence for the peasants. Gives them a bit of a break from their mundane existence..

I actually feel a little sorry for Kate Middleton. She is now no. 1 target for all paparrazi in the world, her every move now will be focused on, every outfit analyised, every weight gain or loss made public knowledge. This will now continue to her dying day. I hope she knows what she's getting into.

The whole thing is all a bit weird in my opinion. The whole notion of royalty is an ancient concept and I struggle to support the idea. I'll be glad when its all over.

can't wait ..love a good wedding it's not Williams fault he was born into a royal family ,give the dude a break ..it is what it is ...plus a paid holiday 'woot woot' think kate is hot as well ..lucky fella

Yeah, I am.

"In before" whack jobs start coming into this thread and accusing the royals of being reptilian's from out of space that have come to rule our world and are part of the New World Order.

I recall the stupidity surrounding the visit of Queen Elizabeth to Richmond a few years ago, you couldn't drive anywhere, there were huge military choppers buzzing all over town, snipers on rooftops. All for the old biddy to go check the gold in Federal Reserve bank Vaults.
So NO, I could care less about "Chahlzz and Kate Miniwaist".
Royalty gets no welcome from me or money if I can help it.

I kept shaking my head at why Americans would welcome British royalty, it made absolutely no sense at all.

I have the TV set to record on BBCA. Because of the time difference, it will start around 3:00 am here, so I'll watch some when I get home from work later that day
