Why on earth am I awake at 3 a.m.? Oh, right, because two people I don't know are getting married somewhere across the Atlantic.

I blame Merlin completely. I'm hoping to write a ficlet or two in honor of the day, but right now the challenge is just keeping myself upright.

I need snacks.

I love that you're up in the middle of the night!
I swore I wasn't going to watch it, yet somehow, here I am!

If I'd checked the schedule of events, I probably could have gotten an extra couple hours of sleep, since nothing's really happening this early. And yet here I sit, riveted to a shot of royal horses being groomed....

I'm only interested in the dress, and I won't see that for nearly two hours - so why o why I'm here?

Lots of bizarre hats to look at in the meantime, at least!

It's not the middle of the night for me but I'm watching it too.

I'm not sure why though...

I'm not sure, either -- I'm going with: boy, I'm a sucker!

It's a nice early evening where I am...if it was on in the early morning I don't know if I could manage it D:

I sort of feel like I should watch it as one of those ~events of your generation~ things. I'm the same age as Harry and so sort of grew up with these boys...also I just love all of the flags and guards and the whole traditional Britishness of the whole thing :D

Hope you find some good inspiration for your fics...and plenty of snacks to keep you awake ;)

I was just saying to my best friend (currently snoozing on my couch) that I was envious of everyone on your side of the world who can watch this at a sane hour!

It is going to be one of the major events of this generation - I distinctly remember watching Sarah and Andrew's wedding with my mom when I was a kid. The grand pageantry is so exciting to watch, and something we just don't get in America very often.

I decided on just to wake up for the actual wedding. Sometime in the night sleep won and I even turned off my alarm clock before it rang, but my allergies had other ideas so I was awake in time for the wedding regardless of an alarm clock on or not.

Oh man, I hear you on the allergies. Yesterday I had the worst allergy attack I've had in years -- but on the bright side, I was on so many drugs that I was wired enough to stay awake!

The pollen is killer today!! Unfortunately the only medicine I have is Benadryl and I do not want to fall asleep during my job. I may have to give in though!

She was lovely! Is lovely. I dunno, I needed a break from hymns, so I turned to the internet to keep me awake until they recess. *fast-forwards the DVR*

LOL! The hymns were very soothing, weren't they? I think I dozed a bit until they came out again. She was lovely, though.

And wow, it must have been really hard on your side of the country - a true all-nighter experience!

haha, your tag. Woke up to a description of her veil on the radio. Oh right, that wedding thing... Also made me think about possible ensuing Merlin fic, so type away and I'll be waiting to read!

Hee! We'll see if I'm awake enough to get through the rest of it tonight. If not, I hope lots of other people were inspired!

Did you actually make it and stay awake for the whole thing? I would be really impressed if you did. LOL.

I did! Well, I drowsed a bit while they were off doing the paperwork, but I blame that on the hymns, which were quite soporific.

And then I had to leave for work. Be impressed if I make it and stay awake for all of that. *g*
