Thread:Comments:Prince William marries Kate Middleton—live updates/Disappointing.../reply (4)

One of the biggest security operations London has ever seen, the attendance of all three main political party leaders and countless foreign leaders, the attention of a huge chunk of the population of Britain and indeed the globe, blanket media coverage in the UK for weeks, hundreds of street parties, and the declaration of a public holiday for the entire country. Whatever you think of the Royal Family, this was not "just a wedding".

Sure there probably were more important things going on, but I don't see how the existence of this article stopped anyone writing about them.
