Prince William to wed!

It is a fairy tale come true: Prince William will marry his long-time girlfriend, Kate Middleton.
Needless to say, so much for a quiet ceremony with just a few close friends. These two will likely have a wedding something on the order of the Prince Charles and Lady Diana extravaganza in 1981.

The gossip has been flying about William and Kate's on-again, off-again relationship for the past few years. Now that they have announced their intention to wed, the gossip level is off the charts.
Judging by the Tweets some folks seem almost giddy at news while others simply shrug their shoulders. Where do you stand?
