I can't remember anything about it. I hate weddings anyway. Was it in the 80's?
If it was before I had my kid in 1986 then I would probably have been working or if we had a public holiday for it, then I'd have been out living it up somewhere in one of my 80s boozing expeditions so probably never even realised a wedding was taking place

It was 30 years ago July 29 1981

Hell, how am I supposed to remember what I was doing 30 years ago when I can't even remember what I was doing on Kate and Wills wedding day

Is it fashionable now to include a

Okay, here's mine

Surely not? In which case I was 14 years old and working behind the pharmacy counter in Boots (the shop, not the footwear). Every other member of staff, including the Pharmacist/Manager disappeared of into the electrical department at the back of the store to watch the event on TV.
I had no interest, so had volunteered (much to everyone's astonishment) to serve any equally humbuggy customers who came by. I'd like to brag that I ran an entire department store single handedly, but I only had two customers all day.
Even at that age, I was singularly unimpressed at the official engagement interview when a reporter asked if they were in love. Diana, not much older than myself, had said, "Oh yes!" all sparkly eyed, but it broke my heart to see her face drop when Charles said, "It depends on what you mean by love".
The git.

Oh come on Zell ... I never met a woman that hates weddings before....I dont believe you.....

Hmmmm such cynicism in one so young lol....at 14 you actually picked up on the "It depends on what you mean by love"??? Old before your years or what??
Now as a mature woman I understand it but not back then, not even at 21....and I can think of a better word to describe him now than a git!!
I'd probably be banned though if I called the future king what I would like to call him........

Well, the official engagement was before that, so yes, I could spot a cruel man by the age of 13. I think it was the incongruity of it all, as well...there was Diana smitten by a mean old git and he was horrible to to the obviously adorable Diana.
Stuff the wedding, it wasn't in the slightest bit romantic.
Rarely do I step into the realm of celebrity heroine worship, but she was awesome.

Well I didnt think Charles was cruel at that time...I just thought he was awkward and unable to show emotion...but I put that down to his position/upbringing etc....little did I know of Camilla then. Poor Diana....and you are right she was awesome....and I think her two boys are fab too..and yes I watched every minute of Wills and Kates wedding too...ah happy days!!
Hi Crystal.. 
I was only nine at the time, so cannot recall much and probably out playing with friends..
On a sadder note, I remember Di's death very clearly...

What a sad day it was
Wow, he's 25 in a month so that must mean she passed away 14 years ago. Unless, I've got my maths wrong. Where have all those years gone

Hi Yash....
...you realise you have just made me feel absolutely ancient....
Yeah it was a very sad day indeed....it was early morning and I wasnt long up when a friend called me to ask me if I'd heard the very sad news....
thanks for the music btw....
chzl06: feel they are not right match from the beginning but a mistake maybe i am wrong
No, I think you were right.
Maybe if Diana would of accepted 3 in the marriage then things would of worked out, she could of let the sly old fox Charle's see Camilla say twice a week, she could of seen Harry's dad Hewett twice a week etc, everyone would of been happy 
Maybe I should be a marriage councillor

Prepare to feel even older, sorry
I was only 13months old when that happened, so therefore had no interest in it at all. According to my Mum, I was playing out in the sun with a few other children from our street. The Mums were all in the house, and Dad's were keeping us entertained so the wedding wasn't disturbed.
Crystal29: How the heck did you manage to go through life and only attend one wedding...and I think you'd look lovely in a big white dress and all the trimmings....
Easy, I just say no

What are your recollections from this special day? Incidentally I am not a Royalist but I do like to see history in the making...
