Wills & Kate: I Just Can't Hate

Frankly, it's such a relief to see some sweet loving Royals instead of the skanky adulterous "I want to be your tampon" nastiness and so much of the deliberate hurting of someone who loved someone who loved someone else and who didn't give a hoot about hurting her as long as he got what HE wanted (his cake and the eating of it, too). I only hope William takes after his mother's side and not his father's. So far, so good. Was Camilla at the wedding? How awful if she was. . . . She has my vote as the cruelest, most selfish woman (note: I didn't say "lady") on the planet. Plus, there's the ick factor.

But no, other than ranting about the Buckingham Den of Personal Selfishness & Iniquity, Wherein We Care Nothing About Anyone Except Ourselves and Don't Even Know How To Buy Shoes in a Store, I think it's all a lot of expensive hooey - money used frivolously that could have been put to so many better uses.

P.S. I loved Diana, and intend to like Kate & Wills - unless the Windsor genes start showing.

Also? Not a fan of any kind of expensive, money-wasting nonsense. I've taught too many years and seen too many children whose shoes are held together with tape and string to smile at people who throw money away on fashion designers and a cake that costs more than a house.

I totally understand & feel like I agree with this post...but that said, I know I'll devour my mom's People magazine as soon as she's done with it. Does it make it better if I'm not actually buying the paparazzi rags?!

There's so many negative and trajic things in the media lately, I think a little light royal wedding chatter is refreshing. I don't particularly follow it- let's see... busy with Sister Wives season 2, DWTS, Teen Mom, the norm- but I do welcome the relief from news that makes me want to cry in my jammies and feel guilty for whining over spilled caramel macchiato.

It's a release, I think. And people need that sometimes. I do.

Thanks for the witty post!

I loved Princess Diana. I really did. She was like a real life Cinderella to me.

I always swore when I grew up I would marry Will. Hello? My name was the same as his mom. It was fate. :p

I was HORRIFIED when the press launched the whole "What does Kate weigh" thing, and even more saddened when she seemed to start disappearing before my eyes. She is a beautiful, classy woman who is simply perfect. And there is no need for us to know anything more about her.

Diana is the author of the blog Hormonal Imbalances ( http://hormonal-imbalances.com )"The Confessions of a Crunchy Housewife". She blogs on her marriage, life as a temporary single mom, and realistic parenting.&

Hi, my name is Lanita and I am an anglophile.

I was in high school when I became enchanted with Lady Diana....the fairytale, the horse-drawn carriages, the big dress, not to mention a slight passing resemblance.

I got up at 4:00a to watch her wedding, and I got up at 1:30a to watch her funeral. Despite the paparazzi, I am still fascinated. I don't need to know her weight or what Wills whispered to her when he proposed. I just want to see the wedding, the jewels, the dress, and the horses. I want to believe in fairytales.

I am also going to let my 6 year old stay home from kindergarten that day and get up at 4:00a to watch the wedding live. I think I will make scones and we will have tea.

I will toast their happiness and wish them well. Then they can go hide in Northern Wales where William will be stationed for the next two years away from the media (I hope).

about taking the lessons we learned from Diana's life as well as her death.

Being curious about her veil or her dress or her ring are a far cry from demanding to know the number on her scale or the promises they make to each other when the lights are out.

But whether or not the public learned that lesson, I sincerely hope William and his family learned it.

I really do.

It is fascinating, absolutely.

I even wrote a post when they got engaged about how I used to pretend I was marrying Prince William as a young girl.

I think it's all about appreciating the "fairytale of it" (aka watching the wedding & Dateline stuff) versus genuinely being upset that they only released two engagement photos or asking how much Kate weighs.

I am one that was so excited to see they had finally gotten engaged and cannot wait to watch the wedding on tv. The hubby thinks I am insane for wanting to be up in the middle of the night to watch, but I think they are both so sweet and kind. He seems to have inherited his mother's traits of kindness and Kate seems like a really nice, down to earth woman.

The weight of the future Queen of England should be off limits as should the other personal details.

A wedding day is so special, especially for the bride. They need to have their own little secrets that the public is just not entitled to know about.

I'll still watch every news story that comes up about them though, and read every magazine I see with them on the cover.

Hypocrite much. I suppose so.

I agree with you. While I love learning about the wedding details, I think they're entitled to their privacy. Every nitty-gritty detail of their lives is NOT part of the job as public figures, nor is it any of our business. I wish them every happiness and sincerely hope they're able to live out their lives in peace.
