i may as well start a thread on THE wedding. here's a souvenir that will probably be worth big money one day as a collector's item.

dumbass chinese...Fox News

LONDON -- It is either a right royal snafu or someone's idea of a joke, but the latest souvenir offering ahead of the April 29 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton was causing some amusement Wednesday.

Visitors to the website of Guandong Enterprises have the chance to buy a commemorative mug featuring Britain's most famous commoner and the prince she will soon call her ... brother-in-law. "Crafted in the finest bone china" the mug features not William, but his younger brother Harry

While the company's website promises buyers a "beautiful cup" replete with "ornate detailing" on the handle, the maker's keen eye for detail apparently wandered during the research phase of the cup's development.

Unfortunately for the manufacturers, the inscription on the back of the mug -- "The fairytale romantic union of all the centuries. 29^th April 2011" -- rings hollow.

you can get a kit to knit your own wedding party! corgis included!

Among the wealth of tea towels, printed plates and specially forged coins, this unusual souvenir kit has emerged, featuring knitting patterns for ten ‘characters’ from William and Kate’s nuptials.

These include the bride and groom, the Queen and Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. And, of course, the corgis.

This wedding just isnt doing it for me i am afraid. I got a curt email from one of my friends who said she thinks their great and I am to leave them alone, when I had sent her a link about the mother of the bride instigating her daughter being at the same uni as him. Look, its great they are getting married, but I am just not into it. I hope it lasts I really do. She is terribly underweight.

more photos at link below. here's where OP's 50p went.

It has been billed as a low-key royal wedding – but when the couple in question are hosting their reception at Buckingham Palace, the reality is anything but.

Yesterday, just a month before Prince William marries Kate Middleton, palace officials offered a glimpse of the venue and the team working round the clock to ensure their big day goes without a hitch.

Those lucky enough to have been invited, will have access to 19 state rooms, decorated in opulent style, following the Westminster Abbey ceremony on April 29.

I wouldn't put myself through all of that for love or money...not even to be Queen. I'd put up with a lot to be Duchess of Mock though.
