The Brits love it

 

[Mr Natural]

Aren’t all weddings a gigantic waste of money?

 

[FJO]

Everything "ROYAL" is a waste of money and circus for idiots.

The thing is, people know who Harry is.

Who's the head of state of Germany? Who's the head of state of South Africa? Who's the head of state of Italy? Who's the head of state of Norway?

Who the fuck knows?

But they know who the second grandson is of the head of state of the UK. Hmmmmm.....

It sells. How much money does the UK make just because flashy twats get to meet the UK Royal Family members and then decide to spend loads of money buying British shit?

Considering the Brits actually make $$ off the Royal Family, it doesn't really matter.

The money paid to them comes from the earnings of the Royal Estates, which only pay back about 1/5 to the royal family.

The UK government keeps the rest.

Generally, Americans at clueless about the history of the English monarchs, or how massive much of our culture comes from that small island.

If English history (1000 years) were taught in American schools, Americans would be glued to their TV sets at 4 AM this morning.

My father was stationed in England for a while in the war .... pretty sure I have a few siblings there.

Agreed! People spend way too much on weddings. People put so much and time into weddings and not the marriage.

When my husband and I got hitched we had the ceremony in mosque which was free and then had wedding party at his parent's house.

We spent a total of $1200 and that's including my dress and his tux.

Meanwhile my friends spent $10,000+ on their weddings.

Trump's 3 weddings were wastes.

My wife and I spent 15 dollars for our wedding and we were married 45 years before she passed away.

Ireland, Tasmania, India, etc., should definitely be discussed in the context of the glorious history of England, to say nothing of what they did in and with Africa, the Middle East, China...

It is a waste of airtime.
Christ. I can't even watch the local news because every channel is locked onto this stupid wedding I could give a rats ass about.

As long as the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West, well yes it is a waste!

I would compare it to Fergie and Andrew wedding instead of Di and dumbass wedding...

Thank God William was born before Harry!

Yes they were and so will his fourth, but what does that have to do with the OP?

tiny England conquered much of the world

..my and my wife's family did not have the $$$ for a wedding--so we didn't have one
...I'm sure they could've managed to pay for something...but it wasn't like they had the $$$ available
we've been married for 25 years now
