Just curious. I was asked a couple times today if I would and I'm not sure if I want to lose sleep tonight.

Fair go. Please remember there are different time-zones. Not everyone goes to sleep when America does. I think "No, I need my sleep" should be another choice, not tied in with "Not Interested". I'm not interested but I'm in Australia, so I'll most definitely be awake when the wedding is being broadcast.
Okay. I'm not interested in the Royal Wedding, although I do wish them a joyful and healthy marriage. Also, something like this could be a good in modelling marriage for those who don't believe there's any point to it (or that it's out-dated etc). Then again, it's probably more likely many people will see the fairy-tale aspect of it and totally ignore the reality of marriage and what it means.
I hope all of you who watch it have a good time though.

No, I am NOT getting up at 4 AM in the morning to watch two people get married when I have my last final exam later that day, even of they ARE monarchy. Sorry, no can do. I wish them well though.
I was tempted to reply "What royal wedding?" in jest, but it's been all over the news here and I admit to some curiosity about seeing all the pomp and pageantry.
It's in the wee hours here and I'm really not a morning person...but my VCR can watch it for me, so I can view it later at my convenience.
(As an aside, I didn't watch the wedding of William's mother, Princess Diana, back in 1981, which received similar media coverage - though I did catch the abbreviated highlights on later news reports).
Edit: Wedding fans can find a copy of the official programme on the wedding site here. There's a lot of interesting historical info about Westminster Abbey included.
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
Yes, I am going to watch it!
I am very excited for it!
(I'm actually surprised that, so far, I'm the only one who answered yes considering all the hype around it.)
My mother loved Princess Diana and always talks about her wedding, so I want to watch what I consider a possibly once-in-a-generation event!

I voted no I need my sleep/not interested. I'm not at all interested. I don't know what time it's on here but I'll probably have lots of stuff going on that's way more interesting than the wedding. Plus, I don't have a tv and don't feel like streaming it on the internet.
was lookign forward to the chasers coverage of the advent, other then that doesn't interest me much,
You forgot a "Yes" that isn't wildly keen but just interested!
I am up at 8pm Friday, knowing that what I am watching is just all preparation and talk...
I will watch some of it tonight, then some repeats tomorrow.
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.
"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."
Of course I was wildly keen to see this wedding which has just finished. I thought it was a lovely service, a lovely occasion and relatively simple for a royal wedding. The newly married couple also interacted with each other very well. And did anyone notice that everyone, especially the people outside, actually knew the words to the hymns?
London looked perfect today, and so beautiful. It is not yet 10.00 pm in my time zone, which allowed us to have dinner first. I think today's effort was less glitzy than was Charles and Diana's wedding in 1981. Mos of the cost of this wedding is in the public holiday and in security which was well in evidence.
Can't even if I wanted too... I don't have a TV here at the moment
I hope they have a happy marraige though! But I prefer to stay out of other's social lives...

I think it's okay to be involved in this aspect of their "social lives" when they've allowed cameras to be in the church knowing that approx. 2 billion people will be watching.

I'm sort of divided---I voted "need my sleep", because I do, but I'm also interested enough to check up on all the coverage this morning.
I think Kate and Will seem like a good pair, and I hope they have a wonderful life together. That said, I'm not an obsessive fan or anything. I was mainly interested in seeing the fashions and The Dress (which I like...it's very reminiscent of the dress Grace Kelly wore when she got married).
I also think it's kind of cool that people still get excited about Royalty...even though I suppose in some way it's just "tradition" etc etc it's still interesting.

I didn't watch it live on TV, but I did just watch the whole thing on youtube this afternoon

I watched it (or at least the most important parts of it) . It was early afternoon here, so there was no need to skip sleeping .

I enjoyed watching some of the highlights on BBC America today. Westminster is such a beautiful building; I'd love to visit it someday.
