Ever since I was a kid, I had a crush on Prince William. Mostly because I knew he was my age, and was a handsome prince. I mean, come on every girl dreams of marrying a handsome prince. But I wasn't one of those people who was eyeing every girl he dated or anything.
It seems like most of America was just fine and dandy reporting who Kate Hudson or Reese Witherspoon was dating for the longest time. Nobody seemed to care that the prince had a steady girlfriend. That is, until they announced they were engaged. Now suddenly that's all anyone is talking about.
You can't go through a grocery store without seeing Kate Middleton's name posted all over the checkout stands. TLC got their resident fashion experts together to create a whole show about what they speculate the wedding will be like. Really? A whole show about speculation? That's not even entertaining. In fact, it seems like that's what most people are reporting on. There's a whole lot of replaying of Princess Di's wedding. We're really using 30-year-old footage of his dead mother to try and guess what his wedding will be like? So weird.
It's sad really, because as Americans, we're not really there, we have no idea what's going on. How can we report news anything newsworthy? And it seems like every channel has a Royal Wedding Week. Why they would stoop to this level for something that broadcasts at 3am I will NEVER know. But I think the REAL shocker was when I was watching The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with my kids and they announced they were having a Royal Wedding Week. SERIOUSLY? A 4-year-old needs a whole week about this? WHY?
Don't get me wrong, I will sooo be setting my DVR to tune in because I am wildly curious about the wedding. It's just, I am not curious to the point of obsession. More like, I wonder what a modern royal wedding with unlimited money and resources between 2 good looking people would be like? I mean, come on, who isn't?
