You either have loved the hype or hated it. I'm not ashamed to admit that I've loved it. In fact, prior to the wedding, I even bought one of those trashy magazines that documented Wills and Kate's relationship. So, I was excited about finding somewhere to watch the proceedings whilst I was in Vancouver for the night. I had planned a very royal like viewing of the wedding - breakfast, high tea style, at the Fairmont Hotel, a historic hotel with royal connections. However, I wasn't quick enough in making a reservation, so I had to be content to watch it all at the hostel in which I was staying, with several drunk Australian males (who continued to embarrass our fine country with their drunken lewd commentary about the lovely Kate and her sister, Pippa) and a couple of British girls. In order to watch this historic moment, I had to get up at 2.30 am. There we sat for 3 hours, watching the ceremony, ooooing and ahhhing over Kate's dress and yawning through the long wait for THAT kiss, which, in the end, was fairly disappointing, given that it was such a brief peck (albeit two brief pecks). It was indeed a beautiful ceremony and balcony appearance, and well worth the lack of sleep.
