If by "represent" you mean sleep in, stay in my pajamas all day, and avoid central London like the plague, then yes. Definitely.
Finally living with my Husband in London after 6 1/2 years together but apart... and loving my life!

Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure we've all been invited.  I am just trying to sort out my hat so that I can fit in. 
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

There is great speculation of the brides dress and I thought that was sorted a few months ago when I saw pictures of everyone, in England, including the Royal family wearing those reflective safety vests.
So if everyone showed up wearing their vests that would form a bonding and modern look. :)

BUUUUT - Been searching the web for links for my Mom to watch it. Shes in Seattle at the moment visiting my sister and sister lacks a TV. Apparently BBC America will be streaming it on their site from 3.45am EST

I am completely in awe of how much coverage this has got in the US ... over here, it has a slot on the news, inbetween Lybia and the world record for domino toppling.

I think it may be because less of us care  ;D

Someone on BBC4 news being interviewed on the Mall, I think, said she was from California but now living in East London.

I'm not in the UK, but I'm still planning on watching it. I've been obsessed, watching TLC which has constantly done shows on previous weddings and everything. I've gotten a little crush on Harry as well now. So I will probably be staying up just to watch it, I'll be honest, I just wanna see her dress!!!

I think it is that to Americans it is just a celebrity wedding, while people in Britian are thinking about it in relation to spending cuts, our dealings in the Middle East (some not very nice people on the guest list) and in whether we should even have royalty. Most Americans probably don't known anything about what is happening in British politics or with the British economy.  I do find it funny that the wedding is taking place just before the referendum on the alternate vote system.
