Royal Wedding Fever.. Will someone help me catch it?

Saluuut mecs et dames 🙂

Ok so the big royal wedding is tomorrow and there is a massive deal being made about it, even here in France. I have been babysitting three french kids this week and they have asked can we watch it as they love princesses! Of course i said we could but they are only 3 amongst apparently 2 billion people who are going to tune in to watch this wedding take place. There has been reminders in papers , on kiosks etc along with pubs opening early to show the event here in Lyon.

Yesterday I decided to take time out of Erasmus life and watch the news. Has to be done once in a while! Anyway, it was all about the royal wedding.There were people who are camping outside the church to be the first to see the newlyweds , there were bookies who are offering betting markets for the likes of “will Kate be late or on time” or “10,000/1 for neither of the newlyweds to show up”. Wow!! If someone knows out there whether Kate is getting cold feet please feel free to comment this blog and we can split the winnings! :p

Sky news had a correspondent in New York to show the world the “Royal Wedding Fever” that is currently plaguing New York too. One New Yorker interviewed said that “Girls are brought up with Disney etc and wanting to find their prince charming, and I am just glad that a girl exists out there who has found her prince”. There are even some designers trying to predict the wedding dress that Kate Middleton is going to wear so that they can make major big bucks after the wedding. And not to mention the “Kate” hairdo that people have been apparently been asking for.

I am not moaning about the wedding at all. I am just merely trying to understand why this is such a big deal. There have been major rehearsals going on to make sure the day is completely perfect, which is fair enough as that is what most weddings will do, but not all weddings involve military marches and a crazy airshow. I would love to know why I have no urge to watch the wedding. I have no reason for not having an urge, it really just hasn’t interested me.

Anyone able to give me a hand to help me understand it more??

Happy Royal wedding folks :)!

I hope that you have a great day and that the projected rain forecast across England doesn’t happen!
