It's more getting ready for the fashion show that's got my main attention this month. However, I still wouldn't get caught up in a wedding in England (or anywhere for that matter) that wasn't my own or a family member's. It's just not my cup of tea!

Some of the characters work better than others - Harry is brilliant and so are Zara and Princess Anne. The Archbishop of Canterbury was good too. There are two ways of looking at the ring thing - that it was lovely for William to mark his love for his fiancée by giving her his beloved mother's ring - or that giving her a ring that ultimately marked so much misery and failure was a bit unfortunate. I'm rather of the second opinion though suspect that Wills and Kate are not. I'm not that interested in the wedding either - just rather difficult to avoid coverage at the moment - but I will definitely enjoy seeing the dress and looking at the other fashions. Edited to add: I'm guessing most people know where the inspiration for the T-Mobile ad came from? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-94JhLEiN IP Logged

Here are a few of my favorites. The Yellow Rose of Texas - Johnny Lee & Lane Brody Meet Me in Montana - Dan Seals & Marie Osmond The Heart Won't Lie - Vince Gil & Reba McEntire Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley & Alison Kraus Fly Away - John Denver & Olivia Newton John (Yes, I like country.) The last one is probably my very favorite. Anyone else? : What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

The imagery is SO beautiful. (It's on the Dream album.) And then there's Josh Groban's Awake album - So She Dances is stunning, and To Where You Are on the Josh Groban album - people tear up on that one. I've written it into a couple of funerals. And then there's Enya. Anything by Enya. Amaratine is marvelous for weddings. If you only have one solution to a problem - you're not trying. IP Logged

I love Brad Paisley too, Who Needs Pictures is a favourite of mine as is He Didn't Have To Be. Deb, I'm also a big fan of Kitaro too, isn't his music amazing. One of my friends years ago got me onto him and I just love it. IP Logged

Her timing had to be perfect. Not to mention having the ability to hit those high notes. It's a hauntingly beautiful song. Deb, I'm not familiar with the ones that you mentioned, I'm going to have to expand my musical horizons here. What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

According to Itunes, Josh Groban is Classical or Easy Listening. Kitaro does mostly instrumental but his collaborations with Jon Anderson are REALLY GOOD.
