Royal Wedding

I won't be getting up to early to watch it either but I will definitely watch throughout the day. It is very interesting! I also remember Charles and Diana's wedding. And I agree with you Lynsey...Charles would have no doubt been with Camilla if he had had a choice.

I think I might get up to watch. What time is the actual ceremony? I too, remember Diana and Charles' wedding. It was a fairy tale!

OK, is 10:20AM in London, 4:20AM here? I'm just trying to figure out if I really have to get up at 4:00 or if I can wait till 5;00.

I am on Central Standard Time and we are 7 hours behind London... so 4:00 here will be 11:00 there, when the marriage service begins.

Allrighty! I guess I'm up at 4:00 then

You and me both So when they all appear on the balcony at 1:30, that should be 6:30... just enough time for me to shower, get ready for work and leave the house at 7:15!
