Wedding...bah!

I am a royal wedding scrooge.
I did not watch William and Kate get married.
I just couldn't bear it.

I was not always this way.
My sister and I got up early for both Diana and Fergie's weddings. We watched it all, from the pre-pre-wedding show to the bitter, bitter end. We were embroiled in the dress debates and hair arguments. We were ALL about it.
Nowadays, I just can't ignore the feeling that there is something wrong with it. Not marriage! Royalty. There is something so fundamentally unfair about a family being given all that money and power in return for what currently amounts to ceremonial and social duties.

I recently read a discussion online of people debating the necessity of the Royal Family in the UK. It started out as a very interesting conversation about land ownership, taxes and entitlement. Then I read the statement, "...and William will make a really cute king. lol."

Help.
