Current Events Five
For some people the Royal Wedding was a huge occasion. What did you think about the Royal Wedding? Were you excited? What did your family do last Friday night to celebrate? Explain your thoughts in full.
My mum and dad went to a royal wedding dress up party. It did not mean anything at all to me because new zealand is more country than royal and posh. I was just watching the nz breakers crush the cairns tiapans it was much more faster and exiting than watching people arrive to a wedding and people playing terrible music. It is just a endless wedding that takes up all of the t.v space.
the royal wedding was not verry important to me because i dont really follow the royal family and it is just a weddind whats the point of talavising it. on friday i didn't reallt do any thing but watch tv and plat playstation
i think that the reporters went on aboutit to much an exagerated it.
no i wasnt excited. it just meant to me and my family another wedding and people watching people talking to eachother through out it and people kissing each other.
we didnt do any thing to celebrate exept eat lots of good food.
it wasn't inportant to me because i don't like wedings or love dovy stuf likr that i wiodd rather play on my nintendo or playstatoin but my sister amd her friend wacthed it they said it was boring
question one: I thought it was really boring even though i only watched a bit of it. question two: no I was not excited and i don't get why people were making a big fuss about it, maybe I don't get it cause I come from a republic country. question three: we didn't celebrate but my mums work mates all wore their daughters princess tiaras at morning tea. I was annoyed because master chef did not come on because the wedding was in its place and i couldn't watch it, so was my mum. On the news it also was all about the royal wedding to.
I did not watch the royal wedding I could not care less if some royal people get married its ridiculous, because its two people getting married it would be like screen two random new Zealanders marriage on worldwide television. it annoyed me because there were some cool shows that should have been on.
i didnt realy think much of it even though there going to be the future king and queen of new zealand it was realy just to people getting married and i bet that they didnt want all the tv reporters reporting coverage of them after they got engaged that night was all good though becuase i watched the breakers vs the taipans and the blues vs the highlanders and thats my thought on that
Question 1: i found that the royal wedding was just like a normal wedding for two people but it took an awful long time. they kept playing really old weird music and i did not like it. Question 2: No i was not excited, i really dont get why people make such a big deal its like wow its just a wedding. Question 3: My family whatched most of it but i found it pretty boring. we didnt celebrate, we just sat down and watched it. it got really boring because on the news and the radio that was all they were talking about and there was nothing good on because it was all about the wedding.
so yeah i really dont think it is a big deal but obviosly lots of people think it is.
I thought it was nice to see Prince William and Harry happy after the dreadful events that they went through with their mother dieing. Also to see another Royal Wedding. I was excited to see what dress Kate was Wearing. My family and I watched the whole wedding at home and thought it was very exciting.
I really enjoyed watching the royal wedding it was great to see our future king get married .This was a moment in history that doesn't come around that often and I wasnt going to miss it .I also think that it was good to have some good news [something you don't hear much]I also liked watching it to see the dress .I was very excited about watching it and there was lots of build up to this great event .To celebrate this event my family and I got dressed up and had some friends over. My brother and I made Union Jacks to put up in our house . I wore a tiara for fun .I kind of wish that I could have been there to support the country I am from but at least I got to see it any way .
the royal wedding was not that important to me but i did watchthe bit when they were on the balcony but my granny watched that so i had to but my granny envited all of her old nebbiers over and they were all talking alot BY TOM P
I didnt really feel it was that important to me because all it was a couple of people getting married and a lot of people coming along that wore stupid looking hats. It was way more exciting watching the breakers beat the cairns taipans. My mum and sister watched the royal wedding but it was to boreing for me and my dad.
I didn’t think the royal wedding was very interesting because the only thing I really cared about was what the dress looked like. But I do think its an important wedding because every wedding is important but it was televised because its also a ceremony of someone new entering the royal family.
On the night of the wedding we were flicking from the wedding to the Breakers game. Most of the hype was about what was worn by everybody especially the bride and groom. It was in some cases a bit over the top, for instance when the Queen was going to the Abbey as a car full of security men following behind. Secondly It was exciting to see all of the weird and wonderful outfits that the people wore. Lastly my mum was going to go to a party with her work mates but in the end she decided not to. We sat by the fire and watched the wedding. P.S My sister thought that the maid of honour and the best man looked better than the bride and groom.
on the wedding night i watched the breakers with my dad at his house so to tell the truth i coudn"t care less about a wedding in my eyes its just some more people getting married so we obviosly didn"t celebrate it and we coudn"t anyway because i had soccer the next day .but my mum watched it
Well the Royal Wedding didn’t mean too much to me personally. I would understand that some people might be over the moon about this event because of being a Commonwealth country and they may think that it is important for New Zealand.
I wasn’t really excited, because of all the pre-wedding coverage ruling the news and radio and for me that dampened all the little excitement I had.
My family and I watched a bit of it, but mainly the highlights because its way shorter and you don’t have all the boring stuff.
For me, the main reason though was the all the media coverage. SOOOO many reporters flying from around the world to attend a wedding that is televised too pretty much the whole world. In New Zealand both TV 1 and 3 had all the main reporters in London and it just seems so much for a small country.
I do however understand that because of being a Commonwealth country and with the ties way back to the signing of the Treaty that it is important to some people. Prince William visited Christchurch, Greymouth and Australia for the floods and those people who meet him especially want to watch the wedding as they have met the future king and find that important. Alot is going on in the world, and for some people the wedding helped them relax, and forget about their worries!
i thought the royal wedding was interesting at times but at some parts it was quite boring for example: when the one of the people in the wedding were talking on and on, reading out of a book.
i reckon it was good for england to have some excitement and to be able to celebrate the wedding of a royal and a normal citizen.
i was at my grandma's that friday so becky and i stayed up until 10:30 to watch it. the only one who celebrated it was becky because she dressed up in a wedding dress and danced around the living room.
I thought the royal wedding was exiting, but it was also was very slow going in some parts. I was very exited to see the wedding and the dress. To celebrate the wedding my mum and dad had a glass of champagne and my brother and i had lemonade.
I think that the royal wedding was a good thing even though i didnt watch a lot of it myself.It was awsome to see so many people celebrating together and enjoying the moment. My mum told me that she had had a customer in with bad depression and she had told mum that it was the happiest she had felt in months :D I also think that it was an important occasion for New Zealand even if we become a republic country in the future we are still currently a part of the commomwealth so it is relavent to us. I think that overall the wedding was a was a good thing and I liked watching it
also it was very wise of william kake to invite rowan attkinson to their wedding ;P
I think the royal wedding was not that bigger deal, I don't really follow the royals, but my family and me all went to our friends house to watch the royal wedding and the Breakers game. We watched for a while, well until they said there vows but we all got really board. My favorite part was when William and Kate drove out in a car and the number plate said just wed which I saw the next day. Over all the Breakers game was far more entertaining and it was a proud moment for New Zealand.
i thought that the royal wedding not a big deal and it was really boring and 1 watched like 1 minute then went away. i wasnt excited about it at all cause there was noting interesting about it and i didnt do anything to celebrate it. I think the Breakers game was much more interesting and exciting
A Royal Wedding. How often does something like that happen? With the natural disasters that are happening, everyone needs an extra boost and what is a better way than to have a joining of two people who could possibly be the future King and Queen of our lovely country. I thought it was fabulous, the wedding was beautiful with bright green trees either side of the isle and Kate’s dress was nice and traditional.
My family didn’t really do anything expect being together to watch the wedding unfold.
I thought it was great to be given the chance to watch the Royal Wedding. I don't follow the royals, but for people who do it was really nice. Quite a bit of the wedding was exciting but other bits of it (the singing for example) got really boring. Like alot of people I was mostly excited to see the dress and overall how big the Royal Wedding was going to be. Watching the future king and queen marry was cool, and also watching part of big history. My family and I were just at home watching it together. I didn't watch it all I was too tired :D
the royal wedding didn't really mean anything to me. i wasn't very exited about the the royal wedding at all. i only watched about 10 minutes of it because i had soccer in the morning and i found it very boring. but some of my family watched all of it. it was good that alot of t.v. channels had coverage of the royal wedding.
I did not look but my mum and dad and also my sister did I did not like it so I went on the ds and my brother did is well I watch a little bit because I was tired of gaming and went to bed .
