What wedding?

Unless you’ve been under a rock these past few months, you’ll be acutely aware the Royal Wedding mere hours away. And while this means our TVs will be bombarded with coverage, watching it is not necessarily the way most of us want to spend our Saturday night.

Don’t get us wrong, we love to see Queen Liz knocking back a champas as much as the next person but we’ve had enough of the Royal Wedding buzz that’s been plaguing our newsfeeds for a month.
