For a while now I have said I don't think Prince William actually wants to get married. It's been speculation. It's been just a feeling.
UNTIL NOW
Now I have proof (at least I think it is proof). Now I have the evidence to show that while he may love Kate Middleton (who am I to say otherwise ... and just as a question ... is Kate changing her last name??) he didn't want to get married.
What could possibly make me so confident. This article I read today that said "Prince William Won't Wear a Wedding Ring."
No ring? And before you say maybe this is custom .... the article notes that Prince Charles wears a wedding band.
So why won't he wear a ring? And not only is he not wearing a ring, they aren't even making one.
Is this wishful thinking? I honestly don't think so. I truly believe now what I only suspected before ... that Prince William does not actually want to get married.

My Royal Wedding Obsession
So I may have finally come to terms with the fact that I am never going to marry Prince William ... but let's not dwell on that shall we?
In my continuing obsession with all things royal wedding, I have mentioned what I think about the talk surrounding "training" Kate and how it may take years. I still don't understand how learning proper etiquette and how to do charity work could take years. But then again, I am not royal so maybe there are elements to her responsibilities I don't yet understand. And then I saw this. There was a surprise trip to Ireland where Kate looked pretty ... smiled ... and flipped pancakes.
PLEASE tell me this is not what is going to take years to teach her?? Please tell me there is something else that is necessary for her to learn. Because if smiling for pictures and flipping pancakes pretty much sums up her responsibilities ... I think she's got it down.

A Royal Wedding
My take on the royal wedding. So I have already mentioned that I am obsessed with all things Royal Wedding. I cannot wait to see her dress and what he looks like and how she arrives and whether they kiss on the balcony afterward. Yes, I am obsessed. But there are also a number of things that are bothering me, but probably because I am still somewhat thinking of this as a 'regular' wedding.
In no particular order:
1. The invitation. I know I mentioned it before, but Kate's family isn't mentioned. Traditionally it is the bride's family that invites guests. Now I know that the Royal Family is footing the majority of the bill for the wedding and Kate's parents, even though they are millionaires, probably couldn't afford what this wedding is going to cost. I get it. But to me, it makes it seem like her identity is intentionally being swallowed up.
2. This going along with number 1. Almost everything you see references the royal family and/or William "teaching/training" Kate. Is it really that difficult? Aside from a long lineage, are there really that many things she needs to learn? Has she never gone to a charity event before? Does she not know how to act around sick people? Or is she having a very difficult time learning which fork to use with which course? (Kate: perhaps a viewing of Titanic or Pretty Woman would help with this!). I don't understand. There is talk of her training taking years before she can do charity work on her own. Why??
3. Perhaps this is wishful thinking (D ... don't read too much into this. I love you and wouldn't leave you even if Prince William asked me ... most likely. ;)) but I don't think William is too interested in getting married. Right now that is. He dated Kate for the better part of a decade. There is something about it that makes you feel like there is external pressure (Read: Queen Elizabeth) on him to get married. I don't doubt that he loves Kate. Truly. And I do disagree with an entertainment show that recently said since he is starting to lose his hair he wants to secure a wife. (Come on people ... he's the future king of England. He could be completely bald and paint leopard stripes on his head and still land someone). But it does feel forced. Case in point, once they got engaged it is almost a race to the altar. What's the hurry? I think it is to ensure someone's cold feet don't freeze! I am certain there is also pressure on him to have kids. Kate just turned 29. The Queen probably decided that since Kate was his inevitable queen, time to ensure she can have lots of kids!
4. Lastly: who receives one of those invitations. I am on the fence about Fergie not being invited. But am still so surprised President Obama is not invited. Technically, no other heads of state are invited either, but still. I think it is in poor taste. I understand not inviting the leader of Chile (I was going to say Tuvalu, but upon further research, I realized Queen Elizabeth is technically the leader of that country...) but the US? Really? The US you decide to not extend an invitation? But Kanye West can come? As was said on The View this am, here's hoping he doesn't crash the vows!

A Royal Wedding
And so I have been given something to further fuel my obsession with the royal wedding. The invitation! Perhaps it looks prettier in person but it does seem a bit plain ... in my opinion. I also notice that Kate's parents have been left off. Seems strange to me. But maybe completely normal for a royal wedding... Every thing I seem to read talks about having to "train" Kate and "introduce" her to royal life. She's been dating Prince William for 9ish years. That's not enough of an introduction? Possibly not. But does it have to be described as though you are teaching a preschooler to color in between the lines?
Hopefully my invitation will arrive soon! ;)

Oh Canada!
So have I mentioned I am obsessed with all things Royal Wedding? I am around the same age as Prince William. So naturally I fantasized about marrying him when I grew up. I didn't pay any mind to the fact that I'm American, I'm Jewish, I'm not rich. Eh. Our love was going to overcome all of that! Sadly our future was not to be. But that's ok ... I found my own prince (intentionally corny!).
