Royal Wedding Watch

Kate Middleton and Prince William are getting married.  But if you have read any newspaper, magazine, social media, or just been in public over the past month you probably couldn't avoid knowing that.  It has been a main topic of conversation on Twitter for weeks and most major news sites like The Washington Post, The New York Times and Huffington Post all have dedicated a section to coverage of The Royal Wedding.  

It is as big a deal in America as it is in Britain.  But is the coverage spurred by Americans' infatuation or the other way around?  Every facet of the wedding has been reported in every different medium.  Open a newspaper, log on to Twitter, Facebook, or turn on the TV and you can see every detail (available) about Kate's dress, the cake, speculation about honeymoon destinations, what Harry and Pippa will be wearing.  A majority of this extended coverage is through social media or online versions of major newspapers.  With limited space in the printed press, only highly important and timely news is printed.  But with no space constraints in the world wide web anything is possible.  Stay updated for more coverage of the Royal Wedding!
