Prince William and Kate Middleton - The Silver Lining to Putting Up with All the Media Hype!

  In the US, the hype surrounding the upcoming Royal Wedding is limited to a "Royal Wedding Countdown" on the NBC Today show, with a few other minor inclusions. I can only imagine what the UK and surrounding countries are in for. I would try to liken it to a celebrity wedding, but really, it is so much more. Our top celebrities may get a contract with a major tabloid for a few mil (you know, no big deal), but the hype soon dies, and it is hard to find a comparison that would equal the DAY BY DAY coverage of the wedding plan development.
