You sound about the same as most people I know; I have yet to meet anyone who is excited about the wedding, or who has even mentioned it in conversation. This is surprising, given that I work in a large office where any excuse for bunting and loud banter is usually siezed enthusiastically. Given that the insatiable curiosity of a section of the public, and the media beast that fed it, is what killed the groom's mother this indifference is probably a good thing for all concerned.

Like you I probably won't be able to avoid it but I won't be watching it. Chatting to one of the Mums at school she is levitating with excitement and has the whole day planned and clearly loves it so I wouldn't rain on her parade, but I think the whole Royal thing is a bit obsolete these days. Delighted they snubbed Blair and Brown of course.

...I will blissfully be in the Luton & Milton Keynes area communing with Helena Handcart, Carol From Luton, Jan Akkerman & His Band and a fleeting cameo encounter with Drakeygirl.

I can honestly say - with no spite or point-making involved - that I've had no interest in the royal event whatsoever, have seen virtually no coverage thus far and hope to miss every single minute of it tomorrow.

I have, though, met some people who seem actively interested in it. Which baffles me, but we're all different.

Ä round trip of 400 miles.Neither are in the best of health, MiL has been looking forward to it for weeks and was genuinely thrilled when the GLW called yesterday to say we were coming down to watch it with her.I will probably see the highlights, but have offered to help the old chap with some of the heavier jobs in his beautiful but sadly declining garden.

Discussed with London paparazzi photographers about getting the "money shot" on the wedding day itself. They kept using this highly inappropriate term. Prince William is very unlikely to oblige - unless there's some ancient protocol that this must be done in public, in front of The Queen and the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Not particularly interested in the whole thing

with some mates, so as far away from the wedding as my legs will take me.

...with my little girls, who are madly excited. I'm neither royalist nor republican, but what I can say with some confidence is that I agree with Eamonn Forde: the Anti lot are being at least six times more tedious on the subject than the BBC and the Daily Mail put together. Mostly thanks to sixth-form joy vacuum Johann Hari.

Despite my republican tendencies, I'll be watching. The local British Embassy (a major donor to the organisation I work for) are hosting a reception at a local cinema, so I have to put in an appearance. My wife is quite keen on all this nonsense, so that's another reason why I have to go.

I work at a local museum and most of the women there are probably vaguely leftist and vaguely feminist. The general view, however, seems to be that most of them will be watching to see the dress and then spending the rest of the day shouting at the TV.

And will enjoy every minute.

I shall leave her to it as I have some CDs to arrange. But I'll be happy that she's happy.

I shall be attending a royal wedding BBQ at my sister's house. I'll probably not watch it myself, but will enjoy the day regardless. My daughter is beyond excited. I'm looking forward to reminding her of this if she becomes a militant republican in her teens.

Last year we held a barn dance to raise money to buy some play equipment for our village's small park. On Friday we're having the opening ceremony for the resulting climbing-frame-type-stuff.

Then we're having a picnic, then we're playing Brännboll - a sort of rounders variant from Sweden (because no-one could agree on the rules for conventional rounders).

No plans to go anywhere near a TV.

Going to a party later though I'm not sure many there are particularly pro the royals. I'm certainly not, but I'd rather be having a few drinks and laughs with mates at a do than sitting at home moaning about class warfare. Can you have a party that's ironic? Doesn't really matter I suppose.

to watch the thing, the chances are slim.

Having said that, at least on German broadcaster is showing it and the boss's PA just asked me if I'd like to watch it on TV upstairs [gulp].

I've no interest in the marriage of two strangers. I wouldn't feel the need to be anti-Wedding if it wasn't for the fact that I don't think any public money should be given towards it when so many people are losing public sector jobs.

Isn't it around 11am? A lot of people with the day off probably won't be up yet!

starting at 10:30am and finishing whenever. That way the kids can see it if they want.

The joy on my little girls face at seeing a "real princess" probably shouldn't be missed...

I agree with what Carl says above. Sometimes, in the attempt to counter [x]-bashing, what gets set up is merely [y]-bashing instead. I fundamentally disagree that the "anti-wedding" camp is any more tedious than the "pro" camp. The fist-gnawingly obsequious tone of much of the coverage of the lead-up to the wedding has made me feel genuinely disgusted. I know that's a strong word to use, but that's the reaction I can't help having to such rank servility. It's not as if it's the silly season and there's nothing else for the news channels to be reporting on, after all.

I know this has become a cliched "right-thinking" stance, but I really do wish them well, and I sincerely hope that their lives aren't blighted in the way that William's parents' lives were. And, I don't have any interest in watching the bloody thing on telly, and wouldn't attend a street party, not that there are any around my way, at least as far as I'm aware. I'm planning a trip with my daughter to the zoo, which will hopefully be deserted.

For what it's worth, I would categorise myself as a republican, though not virulently anti-royal.

I am keen to avoid this, however, my better half wants to watch it (not all 8 arse-numbing hours ... just the ceremony).

Does anyone have any tips on how to avoid it without being called anti-social (I have a skip on my drive that I'm sure needs re-organising, maybe alphabetically)? I wish them all the best, as you would to any young couple tying the knot, but I'd rather not watch it - I've had quite enough of the coverage/speculation already.

the GLW snd I (and possibly the 2nd born) will be off to Rutland Water to do some birdwatching. A few hours watching ospreys is infinately more rewarding. And there's a pub lunch in the offing too.

I must admit I am a republican. Can't see the point of a royal family. Having said that I hope they have a great day and a long and happy marriage.

He's already getting himself up to speed reporting on the guests arriving in London.

as I would toward any other wedding with which I have no connection. For example, if I were to drive past a church whilst a wedding was taking place I would have a quick look and continue on my way. I can't understand why anyone would be more interested in it than that. My family on the other hand are planning a whole load of nonsense involving food, drink and something called 'bunting'. Fortunately, I have to work.

A gal a day's enough for anyone according to Groucho. I shall be spending the morning scrubbing the front doorstep and drinking very cold champagne. This will be followed by a light brunch during which 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' will be played at full volume for the benefit of my neighbours. After my afternoon nap, I shall continue to read 'The Devil's Disciples' a fascinating book about Adolf Hitler's inner circle and the Nazi's rise to power. Tea and cake at 4 o'clock will be followed by a brisk walk to the lounge where I shall sit and watch an entertaining DVD. The rest of the day will no doubt pass agreeably. A lightly cooked steak, with broccoli, fried potatoes and a glass of good red wine may be a feature of the evening. I may also switch on the news to catch up on the day's events, but I already have a good idea what the top story will be. We can expect endless reruns of the whole day on the news for weeks to come, particularly if they kiss each other on that balcony. The Press will no doubt have a field day for the next year or so. I wish the happy couple all the very best - bunting will not be a feature of my day.

Bucks fizz at 10:30am. Projection screen in a marquee that I can avoid, a truly royal all-day piss-up. I will be trolleyed, everyone will be my best mate and I'll probably admit to having a bit of a crush on Kate and/or Wills.

My kids are very excited. About the wedding, not me getting trolleyed.

painting. I fully intend to get through the rest of my natural without EVER seeing any footage of The Toff's Tea Party. Don't get me wrong I would never wish any couple anything but well when they embark upon the variable seas of matrimony but frankly the hype and bullshit surrounding this latest little PR splurge by The House Of Windsor PLC is beginning to make me queasy*.

*Bloody furious at the stupidity of my fellow countrymen/countrywomen at falling for this crap once again.

well, the build up anyway. I want to see the BBC tie itself in knots trying to balance its tone between dignified solemnity - which has been the approach in the past - and the howling vapidity now expected from TV presenters. Nothing much will happen for about seven and a half of the eight hours and the level of bollocks spouted will be off the meter. Presumably they will be some sort of competition to vote guests out of the reception if they don't sparkle at the ceremony.

Then there's the fun of finding out what desolate corner of the coverage royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell ("That awful man") has been exiled to. Prince Edward Cam on the Red Button, I reckon.

I'm also in the office sweepstake for mentions of the word 'fairytale' - I'm down for 332. Some say that's high but I'm confident. C'mon Hugh! C'mon Ferne!

A happy band (numbers growing by the hour, it seems) have decided that discretion is the better part of whingeing, letting the others get on with it rather than grumping from the sidelines and instead will be taking the air on the Wirral Way. (Some may recall a plan on an earlier thread to go up Tryfan : however injuries have been sustained among the fellows, so we are going for something not requiring mountain rescue.)

http://www.ldwa.org.uk/ldp/members/show_path.php?path_name=Wirral+Way

Fresh air, 12 miles of light exercise, and stopping at every pub not showing you know what, or supping outside.

So, even though in my heart I'm a 'Queen Is Dead'-loving republican, I had to oversee the party in the playground this afternoon with a big, old, happy smile on my face.
The children in my school are of Asian heritage so they're not especially overwhelmed either but they did like the cakes & biscuits...

There is a cupboard in my house containing a pair of flying fucks. I couldn't give them for the wedding.

As she has a look at every wedding. Hats and frocks and flowers, but writ very large. I'll be taking nipper out to give her some space to watch and blather to her friends on phone and Facebook. It's a girl thing.

Other than that she's not interested.

I'm not either. I hope they're very happy together, but while they're exchanging the I do's I'll be up in our loft being defeated by the mess and distracted by finding stuff.

Once I come down having not tidied it very much really I'll upload and sort my photos onto my new laptop. (It's so quick. It's got so much space. It's not shit). Our little girl is totally unaware and is deeply attached to her little playmate over the road so they'll both be running in and out in ever-changing dressing up gear and shreiking.

Sounds like a pretty good day to me.

Well, not at all interested but glad of the day off. Out on my bike for a 35 miler in the morning and may visit a pub in the afternoon.

Rings is really rather lovely. Very romantic and sensual.

As for tomorrow we have guests for the weekend arriving around midday so I will be out and about in the morning getting food and drink in. The chaps are then off to the local boozer while the ladies and yo'uns will be watching with flags and copious supplies of chocolate. I will probably return home slightly off kilter and will then possibly wait for Fearne Cotton to utter something inane, using that limited vocabulary gawp she specialises in, at which point I can legitimately shout at the telly, possibly in the manner of an ex-Labour PM who was not invited.

I wish them both well and a happy life together. Anyone who gets married these days needs that and it seems churlish not to wish for such things irrespective of one's views on monarchy. Apparently Guy Ritchie is one of the guests which I find frankly bizarre and pwoper nawty.

... to go to the cinema, get out and about or do something to keep us busy whilst the rest of the country seemingly grinds to a halt, but they're all watching the wedding. : )

I've no issue with William, Kate or the Royals in general, I'm just not interested in all the hoo-hah, so I'm just aiming to get on with other things and keep myself busy.

Meeting pals for a meal and then off to see The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain in the evening.

I hugely appreciate the bonus bank holiday. I'm not thrilled by the Royals but I can't muster any particular animosity toward the whole thing, I actually think it's been quite underplayed compared to Charles & Di's wedding. I've seen more hype for the new Dutch Uncles LP although I think that's testament to my very selective approach to media consumption.

Sunny day forecast, gonna have a nice lie-in, a spot of lunch, a bit of music stuff and perhaps go for a walk in the afternoon with the GF and then off to see Mount Kimbie playing in the evening which should be tremendous.

Been watching 'Summer Heights High' and now catching up on pdcasts.

So will probably have a lie in and miss it all

By number one son having chickenpox for the second time but hopefully will visit a couple of house parties here in Dubai.

I shall be busy designing a Glastonbury t-shirt for their comp,...(£1,000 & 2 tix to the winner)....deadline 5pm today....i've always been a last minuter! The royal wedding is just another thing like football and the x factor that doesn't even trouble my orbit. Mindyou anything that contains Cameron's shiny, p.r. hungry face, makes me nauseous and is therefore must-miss tv anyway. Peace to everyone else though.

I find myself working in front of the TV which my two kids have tuned into the wedding build up. Bloody hell, why is Victoria Beckham dressed up like a baddie from Dr Who?

appear to be consuming every possible morsel of coverage and discussion of the royal wedding, for the sole purpose of getting worked up about it.

Quick tip: if you're a refusenik, you could do a lot worse than follow Grace Dent on Twitter. She's very funny about it. Caitlin Moran always good for a laugh too.

The deed is done. What more could you want to see?

Off to work now for 9 hours. Fun times aplenty!

As I lie, face down, recovering from surgery, I have lost control of the remote.

The alarm had been set for 3.50AM so the FPO could watch - and comment. She represents an interesting mix. I had to deal with alternate questions and comments on "oooh, that's a nice dress" and historical questions.

3 effing 50. Just as well I'm on sick leave.

I thought it was all wonderful and I shed more than one tear

I've generally avoided the pro v con bickering that so easily develops at times like this; however, I would like to make the observation that anyone who seriously believes that republicans/anti-royals have the monopoly on sanctimony - and quite a few people do seem to hold this view - they are quite mistaken.

It's a British thing. The biggest Worldwide TV audience ever has just watched a bit of anachronistic old rubbish from our little country.

Astonishing.

And something to make you feel a little bit proud.

I'd have been a bit happier if Kate had flashed a bit of stocking-top to the crowd whilst doing a public whipping off of her garter but you can't have everything.

I'd like her to just give a nod at the end of the national anthem. That'd be cool.
