Sometimes I intersect with coverage of the wedding, and it's like I've briefly wandered into an alternate universe. *wanders back to fanfiction-land*

*snigger* I know the feeling. Going out tomorrow on a desperate mission to avoid coverage and celebrate a friend's birthday. Hoping the local garden centre isn't doing anything silly. :(

I'm hoping to be on a train. I'm hoping that Paddington is open.

Wedding? What wedding?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Aragorn and Arwen! Oh all right, William and Kate.

There was a picture of Aragorn and Arwen illustrating the kind of dress Kate might wear on the Guardian website today. NOTHING IS SAFE.

Christ.

German TV is swamped with the wedding stuff and we have nothing to do with British monarchy.

Au contraire!

We'd managed to avoid it till we got this week's Radio Times. We did think about sending the thing back and asking for one with a better schedule.

Thank god for DVDs.

[matildabj.livejournal.com]

In that case, you'll love this, I'm sure.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Terrifying.

I just had a flashback to the Jubilees *goes into a corner to shudder for a while*

I am secretly hoping that Ms Middleton will be wearing a liquorice all sorts wedding dress and that happiness will prevail. But that's as far as my interest goes.

Ah well, we can hold out hope for her sister Pippa's dress, I suppose.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

There is hope, yes, indeed

The dress models in the wedding dress shop now have spherical, close clipped, topiary bushes for heads. This is bizarrely butch, particularly since the one in a bridesmaids frock has a headdress that I keep seeing out of the corner of my eye as a pair of spectacles, which make it look as if the bridesmaid is glaring at the bride.

We haven't been able to avoid it either. Pesky colonialism. I think I'll join you in the real world ;)

I was a bit startled when I entered the Co-Op opposite the vet's this morning to find wall-to-wall coverage of the impending ceremony on Co-Op Radio.

Think this is the only icon of an English royal I've got...

I got up late, and since then I've been watching some really good snooker.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I watched the whole thing unfold on Twitter, while sitting on a train. Best way, if I couldn't be watching snooker.

Somehow I think US is more excited than some parts of the UK...

We didn't get a Bank Holiday, but for some reason it's now a "Sales Event"-day...

I have to comment,however, that I watched a bit of it, and it's a bit like watching time-travelling without a TARDIS at some parts.
