It doesn't look like you were either. :2razz:

I am a commoner so I wasn't invited. Looks like the Brits consider Obama a commoner as well. When you have a US President, who returns gifts given by other British dignitaries, it doesn't take the Brits long to return the insult.

It truly must hurt the liberal element that sacrificed so much to elect the first black man as US President, only to see him snubbed by the royal couple. I suppose the wedding planners didn't want the added expense of having to strategically place teleprompters all over the area. Besides, this ceremony is about Prince William, not Obama.
 
Are you calling the British racists?

If you don't care about the nuptials of the young couple in love then, at the very least, you are racist. More probably a serial killer! Nothing else could explain it.

OMG! Al Roker just said they are going to have bad weather Friday! I hope somebody does something!
 
My bad. I took this place, literally. I won't fall for that one, again. Carry on, Sazerac.

We're all a little nuts with the gloomy weather report. My doctor will fax over an Rx for the bucketfuls of Valium I'll be needing.

I just can't help it. I want to be good but I'm all evil.
 
I have selected shoes for his majesty. I am the Royal dresser. They are Louboutin. The prince wears a size 10 American.

Right Obama was not invited or the french president,

Seems Michelle Obama touching her majesty's shoulder last yer was the toughest thing she ever endured.

The poor dear.

My best guess is they weren't invited for security reasons. It's probably going to be tough keeping the Royals safe let alone all these semi-unpopular foreigners. I'd say Tony Blair would also have security issues. The Queen is fairly neutral politically, although the PM's do discuss issues with her, and she gives her very private opinion. She is a very good confidant from what I've read.

I seriously doubt Michelle's touching her was even thought twice about, because the Queen did return the gesture if I'm not mistaken.

The Queen was rude, Rule#1 you don't make people feel uncomfortable. Getting upset about a touch. I know about security problem and I think it would be good for the girls. Obama could have said no thank you. But I'm a little offended he wasn't even invited.

Go around the world and arrest all the rain dancers!

I don't think she was. I'd imagine Obama was telephoned, and told the situation. I'll bet they send a gift. Maybe some more tapes. HA!
 
The Royal Wedding is the last what I care about.
 
Go around the world and arrest all the rain dancers!

But rain dancers also have the power to stop rain. It's just a different tempo. We could just explain the importance of good weather. Appeal to their hearts.
 
Would you explain this statement please???

Avec plaisir Monseur. It is one of the oldest Monarchies extant in the world (the Japanese being the oldest, dating from 660 BC,) tracing its origins from the Kings of the Angles (circa the 4th century,) and it is the only one which maintains all the traditions, pomp and ceremonials of the Monarchies of old. The current continental European Monarchies are operated upon a much more modest scale - fewer Royal Palaces and fewer traditional ceremonies. The Thai Monarchy is probably the next most traditional, but its scale is not comparable to the British Monarchy. The same may be said of the Japanese Monarchy.

-- thousands of benefit/welfare claimants get married here every year, Im happy for them but these two are nothing special.

If any of those weddings bring in as much revenue to the economy then good for them.

It's hard to not admire a young man who does dangerous stuff in the military when he doesn't have to. And didn't she rescue 23 children from a bus that was about to explode?

Look how happy they are together. :2razz:

The Royal Wedding is like watching Dancing with the Stars…worthless. :mrgreen:

Addendum: Royalty is worthless. I don't care how much they get, how much they earn or how much revenue they generate.

The Royal family is the cornerstone of the class system in the UK and the fact that another one of them is getting married and is likely to breed further offspring to continue that hegemony fills me with disgust. What would really justify a holiday would be if the Royal family renounced all claim to the throne of the UK and Parliament enacted legislation to create a full Constitution, a Bill of Rights, an elected Upper House (second chamber) and an elected Head of State with ceremonial duties.
 
Now I'm really pissed off at the royals, and BBC, not allowed to use their footage of the wedding for satirical purposes, now I'm not going to watch the wedding at all.
 
The world is going to hell in a hand basket and when I turn on the news all I am seeing is this wedding. Nobody outside of the UK gives a crap about this. The worst tornado outbreak since 1932, hundreds dead, thousands injured, cities and towns destroyed and I turn on the television and despicable talking heads are all giddy about a freakin wedding.
