The Royal Wedding

The day that the world had been waiting for had come! Will and Kate officially became husband and wife, on 29th April, and the day couldn't be more perfect. Everyone has spoken about how beautiful the day had been and how it seemed like a fairy tale come to life. I fully agree as my heart was pumping the whole way through, as well as having tears rolling down my cheeks, that's when i realised it had influenced me and the rest of the world.
Social media sites such as facebook and twitter were going crazy, with people's thoughts and well wishes. Seeing this made me realise how this world wide communication, this togetherness, couldn't be expressed at this scale at the time of Prince Charles and Lady Diana's wedding.
What surprised me most is that through the social networks the youth were able to share the impact the wedding had on them, it was amazing to see the interest of the youth today!
This form of communication and networking also links in with sociology, being social integration for the world, but what got my attention where the people around my own age.
Those in their late teens and early twenties don't have great amount of conversation about marriage, but on the day of the royal wedding it was all they talked about. Apart from comments on the wedding itself, more people united talking about their wishes for their own future marriages. Statistics show that the rate for people marrying has slumped over the past 50 years, but i feel that the wedding, of now the Duke and Duchess, could change all that. The youth generaly decide on building relationships and cohabiting, which seemed the more trendier thing to do, but we may see a turn around, where getting married is the cool thing to do. Lets wait and see!
