Okay, it's coming and it's gonna happen, but I wanted to see if anybody else is feeling as disconnected as I am. Perhaps it's a self-preservation thing; I'll have to ask my Royal Wedding Analyst. But, on the whole, I either feel furious, or sad, helpless or numb. It's like it's happening on another planet. Anyway, it's a tough go for me right now. :sigh:

Nothing makes sense; I feel at times like I'm in a parallel universe, but only when I focus on it, of course.
Naturally, the ubiquitous duo are EVERYWHERE, so it makes it hard to escape ... but certain places of business are like a protective shield.
My mother informed me today that they weren't too prominent in the physical daily Sydney paper, The Daily Telegraph, which made me sing. :loveshower:

What gives me comfort though is knowing that this pair of self-entitled brats will have to pay the piper. IMO, William had no business unleashing such a IMO lazy, unaccomplished woman with a spotlight loving family on to the UK and Commonwealth. The UK and Commonwealth deserved better, IMO, a whole lot better than Waity.
But just when you think that there is no justice in the world, something will happen to make you change your mind and believe again ... trust me.

Sigh. I will, June, I truly will. Patience and belief in things balancing out have held me fast through most of this. It's the wrong time for me to drop the ball.
Still, it's a tough thing to swallow, for now. I even cried; more out of frustration and that's just plain goofy. But, there it is anyway. :sob:

My emotions veer between disbelief, horror, anger, frustration, resignation & then back again. Think I better have The Samaritans hotline on speed dial come Friday!

I never wished badly on anyone else in my life, either, PA. But, this time, I'm done. They've managed to turn me off in ways I never believed possible.

Nothing makes sense. We're more affronted by the actions of the Midds than Wills. He’s given all social climbers and stalkers license to continue their sick games because eventually, like Waity, you do get the big payoff.
I’m almost sick to the point of being physically ill when I think about the way the media has promoted Waity. She should be in Bedlam, no praised as the savior of the monarchy.
:screaming:
I’ll be evil and wish somehow he drops her at the alter by saying Isabella, or any of his past girlfriends name. I could see the little twit, Waity, running to mummy crying.

Well I go from anger mainly aimed at every shop/website/tv channel that constantly mentions and fawns over the wedding. :stop:
Then peace when I think by this weekend it will die down and it will be time for payback :June:

How long will be the press coverage after the wedding? I guess 2 weeks.

Mousie? Forf'ingEVER. That's the other part that makes me physically ill. It will be honeymoon blab and constant dissecting of the wedding's ups/downs and heretofore unspoken hostilities that they will leave behind in their wake.

I think it will slow down a bit through, especially on tv.
But for me it is just that 'finishing line' and I am focused on that.
We will have the honeymoon but then they are back to Angelsy and into hiding again.

I hope you're right. What a lovely thought, but there's a high investment the media have made and they want their money back. I personally believe we're going to hear MORE about them afterward and that HM will insist on high media coverage of their trip to Canada and wherever the he$$ else they're going, their chosen charities, and 'what's The Princess wearing now?'
There will be PC's visit to the US, the First Family's visit; endless. I can dream, but am too much of a realist to think they're going to get away with rubbing this in our faces all this time and being helped along by a realllllly snarky press who are, afterward, going to be all over 'em, like stink on a skunk.

One thing I do know, is that out of all of this disappointment and disgust, there is a nice man and a nice woman out there who won't waste the best years of their lives married to either one of them. Idiot William will be married to a selfish, lazy woman and Waity Katie will be married to someone who never respected her enough to openly acknowledge her to the world and in time, he will start reminding her of where she came from (and it isn't from his set), something that will grate on her nerves endlessly.

The British TV did not mention the wedding much until about a week ago and I think they will not cover much after the honeymoon - especially the news.
What gets me really frustrated is the adverts and tv shows about them. Which will stop after the wedding.
I will not have to hear about how Sky News will show it is HD
How ITV will show me extra footage of the Wedding Of The Century in every advert break.
Or food channels show me how to make Street Party food to celebrate this historic event
Home Makeover channels talking about Royal makeovers for the wedding.
Kids channels talking about every girls dream of being a Princess
Comedy networks showing back to back 'Royal' wedding (although I may watch the weddings from Vicar Of Dibley and Outnumbered again this evening )
All that shall pass in the coming weeks along with every website I visit talking about the Wedding.
It will die down in the next few weeks and then it will only be the Daily Kate... I mean Daily Mail who will fawn over her.

I have to admit I am kind of curious about the dress and the music on which she will walk the aisle (hides from the rotten tomatoes)
Knowing Kate she might well walk the aisle on "I do I do I do" by Abba.
I hope she chooses Trumpet Voluntary. It is a beautiful piece.

At the moment, I'm feeling a sense of a chapter of my life being closed. It feels so 'off' that William is marrying her and I plan on disconnecting from my internet and also just watching movies through the day. Then I am sure that while there might be weekend coverage, it will be only for a couple of weeks and I am sure that a natural disaster occurs and then Kate will be off the front pages.
I always thought of William as a peer and (since we are from the same generation) understand what it's like to go through a divorce. BUt seeing him waltz off this with headcase is kind of a slap in the face since a lot of people my age aren't as easily fooled by PR and we aren't interested in being impractical about our choices that we make in regards to spouses. I thought William would be more practical and intelligent about his choices and all he had to do is drop her and walk away.
I might read it later, but I am sure as heck not watching it.

I can't believe that the wedding is the day after tomorrow!?! :- We have been reporting about their relationship for ages, but the wedding is still too sureal for me.
I agree with Yooper about being numb in some way. And I have stopped caring a little :fan:
