Real Royal
Still raining. This is the oddest spring ever. While i gaze out the window and think about the swimmers at the outdoor pool, i bet many Madrid citizens worry about how long this is going to last.

If the weather continues to be so stubborn, chances are our Incredibly Royal Prince Felipe and his soon-to-be-wife, TV news presenter Letizia 'With a Z' Ortiz, will look less glamourous on their wedding day (May 22nd).

The engagement was announced on a Saturday evening sometime last November and of course the news was a piece of cake for everyone from hard core journalists to bankers, housewives and taxi drivers.

Then the impact (after so many years waiting to find out if the Prince would actually marry at all) softened a little and now it's back. Since yesterday, we are officially on the final countdown. Am i the only one who feels as if i had to much food at the banquet?

Monday, May 10th, was the date selected by ALL channels, stations and newspapers to change programs and give us every single detail about the Wedding of the Century. Some inserted the information in the news as a 6 minute daily special, some gave us a full half hour at the local stations. Broadcasters decided this is what we want and this is certainly what we are getting.

I understand how this is something that interests a huge amount of people, either for the gossip or because it is, after all, a matter of State, but if i see yet another picture of the happy couple i might scream.

By the way... i'll be watching the wedding on telly with mum at her house. Wanna join us?
