people are using this much money on a useless wedding when this money could be put to good use for England? I mean, WTF! If they got married in a backyard with a justice of the peace and a witness it would be as legally binding! STOP THE HULLIBALOU!

Actually the wedding was probably good for the economy.

For example all those people who came to london, well, they need somewhere to stay (not just tents), food to eat, stuff to drink (I heard the shops ran out of liquor) etc.
The royals spent a lot of money setting this thing up. Its not as if it dissapears when they spend it, so its good for business.

The wedding was a moral boost.

Indeed, but when there was around 70 million UK pounds of taxed money used, and only 20 million was made back, I dont see exactly how good this was.

Sure it was a moral boost, just ask anyone living there if they liked spending all that money on a wedding. Also, that day was a national holiday, so many places were closed.

The concern was that because the U.K. economy would shut down for the national holiday, productivity would grind to a halt. Wonderfully, this did not happen, but it was a rather close call.

Meh~ I'm okay with them married. I guess I just think marriage is way over done and elaborate, and was using theirs as a perfect example.

I highly dislike the fact so much money was wasted on it, when it could go to something like the NHS, or something to benefit the whole of Britain (not just England)

Yet I have to agree, it brought in a lot of tourism, and it's a very rare event that media grab at, the royal wedding will benefit the economy hugely.
