I never thought I'd begin a blog post by apologizing to Billy Idol, but I stole his lyrics for the headline to today's piece.
I always thought that getting married on a weekday was something that only "the little people" did. You know, the couples who had to elope or were just having a simple small civil ceremony down at the courthouse.
So what's up with William and Kate, the future King and Queen of England getting married on a Friday? Can somebody tell me what that is all about? Was the church already booked this weekend?Actually, I really don't care too much about the Royal Wedding. And polls show that 50 percent of the public doesn't care. Of course the 50 percent that doesn't care is all men, meaning that all of my women readers are probably reading this on Friday afternoon because you stayed up all night watching the big wedding.
Montecito Journal columnist and long-time Royal watcher, Richard Mineards, is doing wedding commentary for NBC4 LA. You can catch him on the 6am, noon and 5pm newscasts today, Friday.
And by the way, that is my own photo of Westminster Abbey taken on March 10, 2010. Yes, I've traveled the world to gather content for this blog.
