Are you watching the Royal Wedding right now?

I am. I'm at work (in my home office) and have it on my monitor on live video stream so I can listen (and peek) as I work.

I am Jel, my best buddy kitty Bob and I have been up watching since 415! I thought that the obvious love held for the Queen was lovely and so touching. And the pomp and circumstance is somehow comforting to me, we seem to live in such a casual society, I really loved seeing the elegance.

Yes, Aren't weddings wonderful. And all the pomp and ceremony; rather breath-taking and never fails to make me weepy. Nanny

steve----am I nuts, or have you moved? I'm nuts---never mind. Yes; I'll watch the wedding as much as I can get in of it between chores. I'll have coffee, chocolate, some kind of muffins---UNLESS, my daughter invites me over---well, then it would be the greatest breakfast ever----her husband makes the best breakfast in the world!! I keep telling him he should open a diner and serve breakfast all day long. Wow---a ROYAL WEDDING and one of his breakfasts in the SAME day.....Heaven!

"Times have changed. Remember they had a doc examine Di to make sure she was a virgin? They're very open about living together. 30 years makes a difference." I'm sure I read somewhere, a long time ago, prior to Charles and Diana being married, that virginity was a requirement. The purpose of this requirement was so that there wouldn't be any possibility of potential embarrassment later on - no one would be able to come out with any wild stories, etc. Since William and Kate have been together for so long, I'm sure the Royals have thoroughly vetted her by now.

Here is the recipe for scones that I used. It comes from a National Trust Traditional British Recipes book I bought from the BBC.. Measurements have been converted to US. (Only to be eaten with a large hat on, a cup of tea, and listening to the English national anthem of course.) Scones: 1 cup flour 1 tsp baking powder One half stick butter (I used low fat) One half cup brown sugar One half cup raisins 1 egg One quarter cup milk (again, low fat is fine) Milk to brush the tops Preheat oven 450. In large mixing bowl, sift flour and baking powder and gently combine. Rub in diced butter w finger tips until like breadcrumbs. Add sugar and raisins and combine evenly. Make well in center of mix and slowly add milk and egg (already mixed together) Stir mix w fork to make smooth dough. Knead slightly to make ball and put on floured surface. Roll to about 1 inch thickness and cut into circles w cookie cutter etc. Put on greased baking tray; brush w milk. Bake 15 mins. Also works if you add nuts, cranberries etcÃ¯Â¿Â½ (but less English that way!) Serve warmed up and cut in half, with butter then dollop of strawberry jam, and some type of whipped cream on top. Yum. Oh, and DH is a fully trained professional Dignitary Protection person... It's like having my own body guard. :-)

I thought it was just lovely! Everything! Her dress was perfection, gorgeous natural make up, adoring, handsome groom, proud mama, flowers for days, glorious sunny day...and Bishop Curry!! They keep saying he is from Chicago...but he lives in NC and before becoming the head of the entire Episcopal church in the US, he was the bishop for NC!! He confirmed my son! We LOVED every time he visited our parish...all his sermons are that exciting. You never get sleepy when he preaches! :) Honestly, the only thing I didn’t care for were the black Page boy outfits...seemed a harsh color for children. But that’s it! Loved everything else!

I had my alarm set for 4am, it didn't go off; but I awoke suddenly at 4:09am. When Kate came from the hotel and got into the car, I got all emotional and started to cry! What's up with that? ha. Maybe because there's been so much tragedy and heartache in the news, it was just so wonderful to see something joyous.

I have it on. I didn't get up until 6:30 AM, central time, and turned it on to watch while having my coffee. So far I've only seen a couple shots of Kate's dress, and oh, how beautiful, classy and regal she looked.

Yes...it was lovely. Kate looked beautiful. I loved how the 3 year old bridesmaids held hands with the Maid of Honor during the procession.

I didn't realize when it was, turned on the tv this morning before going to work, while I had my breakfast. It was on and they were just getting married. Now I'm watching it again, from the beginning because there isn't anything else on.

I'm watching it again now from my DVD (taped). Although, I really should go to bed. I've been up since 2:45 am CDT and it is now 11:48 CDT. I'm ehausted.

I've seen it 3 or 4 times. We turned it on the first thing this morning. My dd is loving it. It's been a bit of a history lesson for us today. I've had to google the answers to several questions.

Bulldinkie, the only time I saw them show the queen during singing was when everyone was singing "God Save the Queen," and she wouldn't sing during that!

As for Diana vs Camilla, Diana was glamorous and did lots of good, but Prince Charles looks much happier with Camilla to me. I guess when you've been in love with someone for almost 40 years and finally get to be together, it must be nice.

I felt bad for everyone in the Charles/Diana split.
