The Royal Wedding - What does it mean for us?

With less than 24 hours to go until the 'big day' Royal Wedding mania is slowly approaching its final days.  A day of celebrations; yes, a day of happiness, yes, but what does it mean for us the people who are actually not taking part in the days celebrations. 

People have come from across the globe far and wide, as far as Australia to be part of the celebrations. Admittedly it is probably going to an amazing spectacle, yet there still remains a little bit of ludicrousness in the air, its a wedding, it should be a private occasion. I reckon you wouldn't get the crowd's of people turning out at the Registry Office to mark Williams and Kate's wedding day. I don't want to rain on their parade of course I am very happy for them to be getting married, I just don't feel  it should be done in such media spotlight, every movement, every step covered by international photographers, tower blocks of media centres have been erected in St James Garden tracking the build up to the big day. 

Of course, when and if Prince William becomes King, Kate Middleton will become Queen, that will mark a special occasion, but that day will come under its own steam.Its not that I don't care, I just feel they should be left to do what they want, not to be held back the media. The Middleton's have been thrown in to the spotlight and it is more of a daunting task than it seems, this all wouldn't have happened if they got married in a small church in the Caribbean. 

In the meantime let tomorrow be a day of celebrations but for the people that are actually involved.It may prove too much, to keep up this appearance and by Tuesday after 'another' bank holiday weekend ends, the media spotlight will be focused on other pressing issues such as the Libyan fighting and recent Marrakesh bombing Likewise when the camera's have been turned off the media centres dismantled we will realise that actually it was a wedding that has taken the UK by storm.It maybe that the wedding increase tourism numbers, and we see our economy grow, but only time will tell.
