    Are you?

    I'm asking this question with gender options as I've encountered so many people gender stereotype this, as in "All woman are interested in the royal wedding, no women will be in town friday morning" and "No men are interested in it, only men will be on the streets friday morning". I don't like gender stereotypes myself so I'm curious as to how people here feel. I'm talking about interested from a style and fashion perspective, not a political one.

    Personally I think Kate Middleton is beautifl and William is a good looking man too, but there's thousands of others who look just as well.

    I'm trying to insert a poll on this so I'd appreciate help from moderators in doing so, I'm fairly technology illiterate! No back space on my computer, help please mods!.

    Danke schön!:)

    no and i'm a woman. The insane amount of media coverage it's been getting is extremely annoying too.

    (although I do want to see her dress :pac: )

    I'm not interested in the wedding itself but I am interested in the style. I'd imagine that it will be quite subdued but it will be interesting to see if anyone does anything a bit different.

    I also want to see her dress. I chose my own last week so I'm all about wedding dresses right now.

    Really don't care about any part of it, only that the tv programming will probably be interrupted :p

    I'm interested simply because my BF is from London and when I visit it's all I hear about . It happens that his b/day is next Friday too so i guess it will be mixed celebration . I just want to see her dress really ....but i'll be flying at 2pm so hopefully it will be shown the airport tvs !!

    I'd imagine William will be in his SD 1's so nothing too interesting there. No interest in the dress or the female fashion so I'll have a quick gander at the suits on display by the various male guests and that will be it.

    No interest in the wedding itself, but am interested in the dress, it's like the Oscars - boring event, fancy clothes.

    I am much more interested in the wedding plans of people I know. The cult of personality bypassed me completely.

    So Bobblehead, did ya pick out a dress? Is yer man wearing a towel around his head? :)

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I just want to see Kate's dress.

    Not really into weddings/wedding plans of celebrities or people I know, weddings usually bore me to be honest.:o

    What better way to always know where your towel is than to keep it on your head. :p

    I'm looking forward to seeing what Victoria Beckham is wearing. I love her.

    I'm want to see the dress, hair and make-up. I'd watch it like I watch Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, Four Weddings or anything like that.
    Infact, there's a drinking game based on it that looks like fun, so if any pub shows it I'll be there.

    Yes it's going to be one of the most iconic weddings of our time. From a f&a perspective the fashion will be emulated by brides all over the world.

    My sisters getting married in August so il be watching it to check out the style. Word on the street is there will be hardly any hats and it will be all fascinators.

    I hate those fascinators, they look so cheap,like a hairbad with flowers stuck on.

    It's just a wedding so no I don't care, really don't see the big deal at all. I'm actually kind of glad I have an exam that day :D
    My mother on the other hand is obsessed with it!

    Just found this, absolute madness in my opinion, starving yourself just to attend a Royal wedding, it surprises me how low people will go just to get what they want.

    These events always bring out publicity seekers and attention seeking people in general, Anything to get yourself written about. It shouldn't be a reflection on the big day. There are some strange so called fans hence security being so vital.

    Female and I'm looking forward to it! I'm working but I'm planning on watching it on my phone via Sky News. I might even bring in a netbook

    Female and really interested in it I have to admit! Just dying to see what the dress is like and the style in general. Not that often that someone really beautiful has married into the royal family. I probably won't get to see it live but will record it, I've noticed though from female friends and colleagues that the majority seem to have mentioned it in some form.

    I'm female and interested just in the dress and the guests' style, I think Kate Middleton is certifiably insane to be marrying into that life, no amount of love or money would make me do it, but I'll happily look at her pretty dress on the day! Would prefer if she hadn't gone so skinny for it because I would have preferred to see a dress fitted to the curves of a proper womanly figure, which she had, but now she is just so thin.

    Female and very, very interested. As a kid I just loved reading my gran's copies of HELLO! and other such mags that gave pages and pages to royalty. I guess my interest and dare I say fascination stems from her. I am coming up against a lot of slagging in work (some not so nice may I add) and from friends because I will be sitting watching it on friday with enthusiasm.

    My mum is the same..last week when she came to London we had great craic checking out the palace, the 'prospective route', the Abbey and seeing all the tack that was on sale..so many people, film crews already in place! It is a little bit of madness we can enjoy in the course of everyday boring life.

    I am keen to see the dress of course, and have always been a fan of William and Harry, and in all honestly, the whole thing is exciting to me. Might make me look sad to many, many others, but I have the day off and I will be glued to the box.

    I love Royal Weddings, even though I am male. The British excell at pomp and ceremony and they have a wonderful sense of history and tradition. It will be a glittering occasion and not to be missed - I just can't wait!
