Yep, we have another Royal Wedding to 'attend' today; although, for the most part, I don't think we're really going to get to see much of it at all.

The Queen's eldest granddaughter, Zara Phillips, is marrying England Rugby captain Mike Tindall today, and if I know rugby players (which I do) then I think it's safe to say we'll hear more about the goings on at the reception than we will about anything else.

And why not?  Zara makes her own way in the world and she doesn't carry an HRH title so she has slightly more control over what she should and shouldn't be seen doing.

That said, she has been forced to turn down an offer of official glossy magazine coverage of her wedding, in return for cash of course, as apparently the Queen was reported to have vetoed it.

The usual Royal suspects are going to be in attendance but there won't be the procession of foreign dignitaries, heads of state or other royalty being driven in by the bus load a'la William and Kate's wedding back in April.

Zara and Mike are going to tie the knot at the Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh, which only became available for today's date when another couple who had already booked it agreed to move to a different venue; Palace officials have said that this was NOT done at the request of the Royal family.

The original Canongate Kirk bride-to-be says, "We received a phone call from the minister who'd asked would it be possible for us to consider moving to another venue as Zara and Mike were keen to get married there. There was no money, cash incentive or anything like that. Out of goodwill, we were just happy to move for them." Isnt' that nice!

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the reception you know; the best man is Iain Balshaw, a Biarritz player, and this is causing some royal officials more than a few sleepless nights.

If they've read Lewis Moody's - former England Rugby captain - comments today they'll be on the verge of apoplexy all day!

"A northern monkey (Iain Balshaw) delivering a speech in front of the Royal family isn’t going to go down too well! There’s plenty of smut on Tind, so I’m sure it will be very entertaining. I’m sure Iain’s absolutely bricking it.

It will be interesting to see who they put the Queen next to, though. That will be quite entertaining.”

But it's not all about the Royals; what of Mr and Mrs Tindall?  They're finding themselves in unfamiliar territory too.

Mrs Tindall is a social worker and has spoken very fondly of her future daughter-in-law, saying that she's 'nice and ordinary'.

She's also commented on Zara's parents - Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips.

"All I can say is that her parents Anne and Mark have been most welcoming and kind. I would, however, never call her [Anne] by her first name, you have to address her as ma’am. It will be strange to be connected to the Royal family. We didn’t expect any of this, we are just ordinary people.”

WHAT FUN!  I will be glued to the media later on today and tomorrow for any news and pictures of raucous wedding 'receptioning' - because it really won't be anything else.

I hope Zara and Mike have the most FANTASTIC day.

Former Celebrity Dad of the Year has reportedly been invited to the Royal wedding at the end of April!  How very bizarre, I've never seen any hint that 'Peader' was 'bezzie mates' with Wills or Kate.

A couple of things I think we can pretty certain of though is 1) his ex-wife Katie Price won't be invited and 2) she'll be hopping mad about that he has been.

Twitter has become the celebrity social networking method of choice. They're all at it and the vast majority of the planet lap up everything their fav' celeb' has to say, from the breaking news to the inane 'just got up...URGH'.

Kym Marsh, however, has gone the other way and deleted her Twitter account.

Tweeting that she didn't feel BBC's Waterloo Road should have won the 'Best Drama' award at the National Television Awards last week, rather upset fans of the show and they took to her Twitter account en masse!

Hollyoaks actor Gerard McCarthy explained all on HIS Twitter account (where else!?)...

"Guys, just spoke to Lady Marsh... All is fine. She just decided to delete her account due to the NTA fiasco & people being nasty to her (sic). She is pregnant & her number one priority is her baby so it's really not worth letting a handful of idiots cause her unnecessary stress."

The other day we were chatting away at PlayPennies HQ when Lynley said, "What do we all think of the Royal Wedding then?"

"What Royal wedding?" I answered.

"The one between Prince Thingy and whats-her-face...erm..." Tamsin said.

Oh yes, we're a right bunch of Royal watchers here, so I went off in search of news - it wasn't difficult to find as there's comment and opinion EVERYWHERE!

I hope Prince William and Kate Middleton (sorry, Katherine - we're supposed to be calling her Katherine now) have a Spring wedding, because endless days of media overload between now and Summer is going to be agony.

According to some journos, Katherine set out to snare Prince William with a ruthless efficiency and so it's no wonder she smiling like the cat who got the cream.

Others are saying it will never last because she comes from 'normal' stock and her parents sell stuff on the internet - albeit self-made millionaires with an internet business empire, I guess that doesn't make for very good headlines.

Some say it's a dream come true, for a girl to become a princess and then queen - who are THEY kidding?!

Her fiancees mother was hounded by the paparazzi, was hideously miserable as part of the Royal household and ended up losing her life tragically early in a car chase because the media couldn't leave well alone!  Oh yes...I'm sure she's thrilled at the prospect of becoming the next 'Diana' - which she will be.

Then there's all the furore about the cost of the wedding - I DON'T CARE! Let them have a big wedding if they want to and not, if they don't. Yes I know it's the tax payer footing a very big chunk of the bill, but I really don't have any issues with that...maybe it's just me.

I'm thrilled for them both, I hope they've found the loves of their lifetime and make it all the way - it's hard enough for Joe Bloggs to do, let alone when the world is watching your every move and analysising every tiny body language indicator.

THAT ring seems to be the source of much deabte too: giving Kate his mother's engagement ring is ultimate sign that he trusts and adores her, versus, it's a second-hand ring that symbolises the start of a very unhappy relationship and marriage; nice.

Then of course there'll be the thorny issue of prodcuing a son and heir - dream come true? Sounds a bit like a nightmare to me!
