I know Daisy, remains to be seen if I will get up. Actually that's a cool mug Lidia, thanx. I'd agree re it being better than Chas and Di, Jennifer as they were mismatched from the start. Good luck with the party. Oh more than that Robyn, maybe.

I'm very excited!<br /><br />I think the media attention is appropriate right now. After so many disasters (Japan, oil spill, Egypt/Libya, etc.) I feel like the world needs a fairytale media sensation...not because we're all SO OBSESSED with Will & Kate but because we need a little good cheer and romance to brighten up our gloomy outlook on life...<br /><br />I'm not a fortune teller, but I have a feeling this marriage will last (at least for a lot longer than Di & Charles). After all, the two have been together for almost a decade. Plus, statistics say the older young people get married (28 to 35) the longer the marriage lasts because they are mature enough to handle and understand the responsibility...Jennifer Fabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521908385026885699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-67729305484574467422011-04-27T13:36:52.358-07:002011-04-27T13:36:52.358-07:00I guess you don't want everyone to know that y...I guess you don't want everyone to know that you have a mug then?Nubianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684802193733592184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-16642411008956251702011-04-27T12:53:14.637-07:002011-04-27T12:53:14.637-07:00"Old cadaver" hahaha! :D

LOL...<br /><br />It isn't that I'm not interested in what's going on in the world, I just can't handle the excitability and the overkill... it will be a lovely wedding and when all the hoopla dies down, I'll go back watch the coverage on it without all the mind-spinning fervor.e.a.s. demershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009167844130542312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-84515191787457139042011-04-27T09:57:58.560-07:002011-04-27T09:57:58.560-07:00You didn't..

But nooo...<br /><br />I'm kidding. It is crazily over-covered in the media, but I don't mind too much. I read what I bother, and skip the rest. I'll probably watch parts of it on Friday too - mostly for the sake of the dress - and then do my best to forget about it. Even if it will be for the happy couple, this is hardly a life-changing event for the rest of us, after all.Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-10872152213061845182011-04-27T09:37:06.511-07:002011-04-27T09:37:06.511-07:00I whole-heartedly agree with you on this one.
