JAL Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 With most people in this country being given the day off today for the wedding of prince William and Catherine Middleton fully hope you've all enjoyed yourselves today with the royal wedding. What a stunning bride in the most beautiful of wedding dresses yet accompanied by another stunner in small sis. Kate or Catherine looked relaxed, in charge for as much as she's allowed to be, which can only give one absolute confidence in the royal family for the immediate future. Lots more to say but lets here your thoughts fellow Rovers on the wedding and their futures. From me I wish them all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koi Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I wasn't remotely interested until I clapped eyes on Kate's fantastic sister, if I was Harry I know what I'd be workin' on right now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewood Spark Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The day was good in that it gave me the perfect excuse to go camping with the family ... as far away from a TV as possible ... Out walking on the North York Moors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Enjoyed it....wasnt interested but stuck it on a 11.05 and watched it till about 2. Agreed with the comments, Bride looked good, sister too. William looks embarrassed just kissing her though - soft lad!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted April 29, 2011 Backroom Share Posted April 29, 2011 Bloody great I thought. I loved the fact that today I felt genuinely proud to be British, goosebumps when Jerusalem was on. Also epic moment with him saluting when passing the cenataph. They all seemed genuinely happy as well. I think the image of her looking back over her shoulder on the balcony will become iconic along with Harry sneaking a look back and then reporting to William. What a good day.

Guest roverite1991 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Proud to be English today! Loved how low-key it all felt. The driving out in an aston martin was the best touch for me. These two look a special couple and are in touch with the public, as opposed to other Royals acting as if they are somehow above everyone else. Loved how William struggled putting the ring on her finger. Wonder if Harry will take advantage of *ahem* Best Man's Privilege, re: Pippa? I know I would!

adopted scouser Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Don`t get the people who are proud to have ignored it. Proud to be British neither do I, sitting in a field or trudging round the pleasure beach ? Today was bliss from start to finish, gave the vast majority of the country a treat and was watched by billions worldwide. It's what we do best, marvellous.

Glenn Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I worked as normal, we gave everyone an extra days holiday and said you're welcome to take today off, or any other day and only one of them took today (and then it was only 'cos his GF had the day off too) We actually had it on in the office, but paid very little notice to it The Monarchy are great for tourism, but leave me cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day on the whole has given me and it seems a lot of the country a collective buzz again. Bring on the jubilee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozz Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Royals are entitled to have a wedding just like anyone else is, no problem with that. But I am totally against the royal family (deliberate none use of capitals). The wedding will have brought in a lot of money to London in tourism etc. but whilst we are in the grip of the worst recession in 30 years the extravagance and sheer brass necked opulence really gets my ###### goat up. Why should them @#/?s get such unbelievable treatment? For effectively winning the right time right place lottery. They are really taking the ###### out of us, and all we do is simper, cry, wave the petrol station flag and say how ###### beautiful it all is. (Please don't use that word again) off you set of inbred dole scrounging throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This nation has had its identidy slowly erased away in the past decade by dogooders waving political correctness flags. Today we got the union flags out and claimed a bit back.

I see this a lot and although the argument has some merit, why should we live in such good circumstances when people are starving in some areas of the world or under the command of a Dear Leader, suppose we did OK in that lottery too. That William does OK for a chap on the dole as well, I wonder if I quit my job I'll get to fly a chopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
