Official thread: Royal Wedding.
On the 29th April 2011 at Westminster Abbey, Prince William is going to marry his long time sweetheart Kate Middleton. Put any heart-warming tributes, wishes or experiences here.
I asked my Canadian bosses but they won't give me the day off even though the British government has declared it a bank holiday. :frown: I suspect I'm like a lot of you and will take a sick day instead. Plus, thank god for PVR/DVR's as I now won't miss a single minute of the happy event. Is anyone here going to organize a street party? |

Re: Official thread: Royal Wedding.
My dad was visiting recently. It was embarasing how many canadians asked him his opinion on the royal nuptials. He was surprisingly diplomatic on the subject.

Re: Official thread: Royal Wedding.
Can you get bunting in Canada?
I've got a bank holiday - well, that's not strictly true, but I intend to bunk off work. If those buggers in the UK that I work for are getting a free day, then I am too:frown: |
Re: Official thread: Royal Wedding.
I realise it can get expensive but these kinds of events don't come around too often so I'm going to do the full monty and push the boat out. Can you get cherryade over here?

You've got to move with the times though haven't you. Are you one of those miserable people who doesn't even own a copy of "a candle in the wind"? You should just be happy for the royal couple and their special day.

Re: Official thread: Royal Wedding.
Oinks has a point. This could end up with another Its a royal Knockout, on the Horizon. I don't think anyone wants to see that again.

There's no telling what kinds of personal wedding stuff they'll flog on ebay as well. I really think marrying down will be his undoing. But I don't have a crystal ball so who knows? And we shouldn't focus on the negatives.

Re: Official thread: Royal Wedding.
I think poor Oink has visions of toilet-roll dolly covers at Will & Kate's new gaff.

Re: Official thread: Royal Wedding.
As you can see the tributes are coming in fast and furious. This one is made out of luncheon meat and left over vegetables.

Re: Official thread: Royal Wedding.
I wonder where William will have his stag party? I'd recommend paint balling and then a piss up around Blackpool.

Which reminds me of that chicken in cream sauce that M and S used to sell. Haven't had that for years. |

Sausage rolls, pork pie, finger rolls with salmon spread, egg mayo and ham, chicken legs, garlic bread and trifle. God rest her soul she thought this was a decent spread. Wasn't til I started working for a very posh hotel that I realised cheese and pineapples shoved in a silver spud weren't really the done thing... Dya think Kate will have a cheesy pineapple hedghog? |

Re: Official thread: Royal Wedding.
Do you think they'll have a band or a disco? maybe a bit of singing from drunk family members after?

Re: Official thread: Royal Wedding.
Come to think of it, standard Canadian orange cheese will be perfect with pineapple chunks on a cocktail stick. Maybe we should send them a gift from the colonies.
