The Radio Times echoes my thoughts:
Bunting is hanging from your bookshelves, you have donned your Union Jack deely boppers, a paper plate of sandwiches is balanced on your knees and a sack of crisps is within reach. You don't have to work because it's a proper holiday and you're all set to do nothing but watch telly for hours and hours. Yes, it's going to be a great, great day. Come on, this is terrific, we're allowed to have fun and nothing but fun all day, it's a requirement, as Prince William marries Catherine Middleton. This is History, this is the greatest television event any of us is likely to see, with an expected global audience of two billion. But William and Kate are ours, and I think it's nice we're sharing them with the world in a spectacle full of colour and happiness. So leave your world-weary cynicism in a cupboard...
(You might be able to resist a fairy tale. I can't. *g*)
ETA: God DAMN we give good pageantry! *flails* (Everything's so gosh darn pretty and William and Catherine are *adorable*. Plus the dress is utterly beautiful. ♥)
ETA2: On a VERY shallow note: The BBC just played a (new?) BBC trailer ('cause they're going to have record viewing figures, so clearly they're doing a bit of self promotion)... It was a VERY lovely trailer ("Bring me sunshine..."), but I flailed impossibly much when they included the Doctor/River kiss! /end shallow fangirl mode
