Anyone Interested In Watching The Royal Wedding This Saturday?

I checked - round trip airfare from a Midwest city in US to London UK is about $1,500. PLUS there's lodging/hotel (if you can find a room), and food, transportation while there. Easily add up to $3 - $4k for one person. I'm guessing most of these wanna-be gate crashers cannot afford to toss that kind of money around.​

It wouldn't surprise me if one of the tabloids or TV gossip shows paid the expenses so they can create some nonsense for the news cycle and capitalize on the wedding.

I read in the newspaper that ITV had brought some of them over
to use in the studio while the wedding was happening, but after
they landed and spoke to the producers, they were dropped.

Mike.
 
Gorgeous picture RaddishRose. Her tiara was simple yet stunning. It really sparkled in the sunlight while they were sitting in the carriage.

Love your Jeremy Brett/Sherlock avatar, Meanderer!
 
Wow, Meghan has come a long way from when she couldn't afford to fix the lock on her car doors so for 5 months she had to crawl through the trunk to get to the drivers seat. I don't get it either but that's what she said.

So that Jaguar is a new car inspired by a 1968 Jaguar? If so, I'll run right down and buy one.
 
I know this might sound weird, but imagine having to go to the bathroom really bad.....whether you're a participant, spectator, or even Meghan and Harry.....I would be squirming. :) There are no bathroom breaks, and it was a looooong morning. :(

It's also amazing that in addition to the perfect weather there were no glitches...nobody fell or stepped on the veil or gown, none of the children threw a tantrum, nobody stumbled on their words, even the horses behaved (think one of the white horses got slightly out of step and the handler quickly corrected the situation). But what if a couple horses had just started to run it would have spoiled the procession.
 
That occurred to me too, applecruncher, when the preacher had an unexpected lengthy sermon (no bathroom breaks), especially when he started talking about fire. I was all there for his thoughts on Love but he lost me with Fire. He even asked the congregation if they drove a car because that requires fire. Huh? Did anyone else feel lost during that part? must have missed something.

The ‘fire’ part of the sermon was a bit odd, I agree and the look on both their faces while he was talking about it was priceless.They almost looked like they were trying hard not to burst out laughing. It was like the guy wanted to really make the best from his moment in the spotlight and perhaps got a ‘tad’ carried away.
Not that I’m complaining. Like Lara, I was wondering where he was going with it. Lol
 
I agree that particular preacher went on too long, and imo he was a tad too theatrical. And he lost me with the "fire"...:confused: Of course Meghan & Harry were being polite, but .....while he was speaking I went into the kitchen, fixed another piece of toast and warmed up my coffee.

(There's something about him on Yahoo; haven't read it yet.)

On the eve of Pentecost I think the imagery of fire was particularly apt.
Remember he was preaching to a very large and mixed audience, many of whom are male.
 
I also wondered about bathroom breaks. I'm sure there are rest rooms inside the chapel, but what about all those thousands of people who camped out overnight to catch a glimpse of the royal couple? I also have to admit that a thought flashed through my head about the bride possibly needing a bathroom break. How would she manage that veil? ;)
