Actually, that isn't my opinion. It has nothing to do with being important in any given country. This is about a wedding getting more press(at least here) than a major disaster in Japan, and the 300+ that died in the recent rash of tornadoes.
I just don't get it, and that's ok, some people don't get my likes either. I just don't understand why some wedding between a guy who's like what, 33rd in line for the crown and some chick is that important. I don't care where they're from, it's just a wedding. Just like they were making articles about the little girl frowning, or Kate's sister, or the lady with the ridiculous hat. Out of four main headlines on Yahoo on that mroning, these four took up all four spots. Is some rediculous hat really that important?
And what does service have to do with anything? I did my three years in the US Army, but I have respect for every country. I also don't care if any of our political people are getting married. There's more pressing issues at hand than a wedding. Just think of how many homeless people could have had a nice meal with the money spent on that wedding.
It's their right to have a big beautiful wedding, and that's cool, I just think it was a bit much and wasteful.
