A Royal Engagement!

I can't explain to you how excited I am for this Royal Wedding!! As one who likes following celebrity gossip, I am especially intrigued by the combination of celebrity and royalty that is the British Royal Family (is that what they're officially called? The whole England/Britain/whatever thing confuses me. Melissa?)  All I know is that his names is "William of Wales" aka WoW, which I think is really awkward.  I think at "university" he went by Will Wales.  

I've always thought Kate Middleton would be a great match for William, as well as have what it takes to be Princess/Queen.  Aside from the royal aspect, I think this is especially exciting because we have all been waiting for it for SO LONG.  

Anyways, from this moment on I'm officially obsessed with any William/Kate gossip/coverage.  I hate to associate myself with the masses of Londoners and reporters (like the one on ET last night-some woman named Kate who just comes off as being a royal stalker) who say the silliest things, but I just can't help myself. I'm also fascinated by imagining how much thought goes into every little thing. Just for their engagement interview, I question how many dresses she went through, and who all approved her attire before they settled on the one she wore.  Every celebrity is in the spotlight, but for some reason this gets more attention than almost any celebrity out there, and I can't pinpoint exactly why that may be. I suppose it's part our innate, subconscious interest in the unattainable royalty.  Anyone can become a celebrity, but if you're not born into the royal family, your chances are over---except through marriage.  Maybe that is why we are so fascinated by their impending wedding.  

The thing I am most excited to see is her dress (of course).  I'm not looking forward to all of the guessing by all of the media of what she will do, which will of course all inevitably be wrong, but I can't wait for the dress.  I'm sure there will be excessive media coverage, and I plan on waking up at whatever hour of the night necessary to see it live.  I may even have a Royal Wedding Sleepover Party!  I just hope it's sooner rather than later.
