April 2011 Archives
The big day is hours away. No, it's not the day the recession is over, but for many it is a sort of relief.
The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in London is not only grand and historical for Britons and England, but this royal event seems to draw great interest from abroad as well. Not only for Americans who had a love for the late Princess Diana and watched little William grow up, but we don't have our own royal families to follow, and some of us just plain love weddings and get lost in the fantasy and magic of it all. Even if it's only for a few hours.
Here's a few suggestions on how to follow the fun and pageantry along, before the event, watch it live if you're that daring, or follow up after, even if you didn't get an invite.

KCET, independent public media for Southern and Central California, will air BBC's live broadcast of Prince William and Kate's Royal Wedding on Friday, April 29 at midnight.

Blag the Royal Wedding ($1.99 for the Apple iPhone): - Do you have what it takes to plan the wedding of the year on time and in budget? Fancy the title of Royal Wedding Planner?
