It seems ironic that a major U.S. holiday is dedicated each year to celebrating our independence from the same country which today is celebrated by many Americans due to the marriage of one of that country's potential monarchs. And it's not like there aren't more important things going on in the world: Exhibit A. Exhibit B. Exhibit C. You get the picture.
Yet Americans love this royal wedding stuff — enough that many were up at 4 a.m. local time last night to catch it on TV. So what's the draw? Since when have Americans wanted to be known as peons admiring representatives of a monarchy? How much power does the British royal family even have? Does it matter that the country, in size, is "slightly smaller than Oregon"?
