Kanye West & Elton John Invited To Royal Wedding!




"We're so happy to hear that some stars are going to William and Kate's royal wedding.

Even though President and Mrs. Obama are not on the list of 1,900 lucky folks, David Beckham and his wife Victoria are said to have made the cut. Of course the palace isn't going to confirm anything, but The Telegraph says the couple got an invitation, largely because David worked with Prince William on England's 2018 World Cup bid.

And Kate likes Victoria's clothing designs. During Fashion Week in New York, Victoria said she was sending some dresses to Middleton. "Apparently, she likes my clothes and has asked to see a selection," Victoria told The Telegraph. "It will be from my current spring/summer collection."

The Today show reported this morning that Kanye West and Elton John are also expected to get invitations, and we hope they do so we can see them in their morning coats.

The official Prince of Wales website confirms "the groups" that have been invited to the wedding:

• Members of The Royal Family and their friends

• Members of the Middleton Family and their friends

• Friends of Prince William and Miss Middleton

• Members of Foreign Royal Families

• Representatives from the Defence Services

• Representatives from Prince William's patronages

• Representatives from the Church and other faiths

• Members of the Government, Parliament and Devolved Administrations

• Members of the Diplomatic Corps

• Governors-General and Prime Ministers from the Realms

• Members of the Royal Household

The site also says that of the 1,900 people invited to the service, only "around 600" have been invited to the lunchtime reception at Buckingham Palace given by the queen. And "around 300 people" have been invited to the dinner at Buckingham Palace given by the Prince of Wales."

And why would Obama get an invite? I'm pretty sure while Will's Grammy and Dad know Obama, he probably doesn't care.

Plus, the Obamas are going for a state visit to see the Queen in the Spring.

I'm still not sure why Kanye is invited.
[info]xlickety_splitx 22nd-Feb-2011 01:37 pm (UTC)
The American president (not his wife) usually gets invited.

This is pretty much what I came here to say.
[info]tammyinlalaland 22nd-Feb-2011 01:49 pm (UTC)
Heads of State only get invited when it is a State Occassion which this is not. This is a royal wedding, not a State wedding because William is not direct heir to the throne.

The Obamas will be in the UK for a State visit in May

[info]affliction 22nd-Feb-2011 01:09 pm (UTC)
I would call someone, bb. I mean it's a little late to not have received yours yet. :/
[info]fauxkaren 22nd-Feb-2011 01:16 pm (UTC)
You should do what I'm doing. I'm just going to show up at the door on the day. I'm sure our names will be on the lists even if our invitations were lost in the mail.
[info]agent_aeon 22nd-Feb-2011 01:18 pm (UTC)
Who wouldn't want you at their wedding, Moss? I'm sure the invite will show up any day now.
[info]chilibreath 22nd-Feb-2011 01:19 pm (UTC)

Is Kanye going to tell them that someone else had the best wedding of all time? If not it's just not going to be exciting.
[info]loosedefense O/T but I kinda fucked up and need some advice22nd-Feb-2011 01:12 pm (UTC)
So I signed into Skype which I hate going on to and saw my mother had left me a message over the weekend berating me for not being online 24/7 and how she's tired of it and does she have to buy a plane ticket and show me how my phone works and blah blah blah...

And I kind of exploded. More specifically I bitched her out with some choice words and I guess they could be perceived to be somewhat cruel. I told her that the reason I didn't log on to skype often was because I hate talking to her, and that every time I hang up the phone my entire day is completely ruined because having to talk to her was nothing but a chore. I told her that every time I talked to her I wanted to step in front of a train and let it kill me so that I would never have to hear her voice again, and I also said shit like how we were strangers who met at a bus stop rather than family and stuff like that, and then today she left me a message saying words have power and how I can't say things like that or she'll think I really do hate her and ghat she would stay away from me if that was the case

And then I blew up at her again.

So, yeah, how do I fix this?
[info]iruleuruniverse Re: O/T but I kinda fucked up and need some advice22nd-Feb-2011 01:37 pm (UTC)
Holy shit, girl.
Those are definitely some choice words for your own MOTHER.

Responding to a message from her like that is a BAD idea. Sit back, ponder what you have to say, and either agree to start fresh or sever ties with her if things are TRULY so bad that you'd rather DIE than talk to your own mom.

If I said shit like that my mother, she'd fucking beat me senseless (I'm 26, btw) and disown me LIKE THAT.

Good luck.
Oof.
[info]tammyinlalaland Re: O/T but I kinda fucked up and need some advice22nd-Feb-2011 01:59 pm (UTC)
First you must figure out if you really mean those things. If you do, you have to start defining exactly what type of relationship and communication you want with your mother. To establish boundaries with her will be hard but will make your dealings with her better. One thing about it though is it has to be from a position of strength, not emotion, not reaction, not fear, you have to be an adult about it. "This is what I want, this is what expect, this is what I will tolerate in behavior from you.". It will take a long time but can help your relationship be more effective.

If you didn't mean her, then tell her you are sorry and explain what caused you to blow-up, what yOu were reacting to and ask for her help in developing better communication skills with her
[info]gustheduckie Re: O/T but I kinda fucked up and need some advice22nd-Feb-2011 02:08 pm (UTC)
You need to apologize. Even if your feelings are the same, you need to apologize for the words you used and the way you used them. Send her an email, take responsibility, don't try to justify it or rationalize it, just say that you regret what happened and you are sorry you did it. I found this website (http://www.perfectapology.com/how-to-say-im-sorry.html) and although I can't believe that such a site exists, they have some good advice on where to start:

A proper apology should always include the following:

a detailed account of the situation
acknowledgement of the hurt or damage done
taking responsibility for the situation
recognition of your role in the event
a statement of regret
asking for forgiveness
a promise that it won't happen again
a form of restitution whenever possible


Good luck bb! (and next time.... just hang up before it gets to that point.)
[info]6tormy Re: O/T but I kinda fucked up and need some advice22nd-Feb-2011 02:26 pm (UTC)
she's a mom. Her job is to annoy you.
Apologize to her and tell her exactly what u hate when ur talking to her. that is of course without being cruel.
Maybe u could try texting her instead of talking to her on the phone. That'S what i do.
[info]hazel_belle Re: O/T but I kinda fucked up and need some advice22nd-Feb-2011 02:58 pm (UTC)
Those are some pretty harsh words to your mom...... but You need to apologize. You need to use skype and make a visual apology to your mother. And than after that explain, in a rational tone & with hurting your mothers feelings about what is really going on in your life.

I mean, no matter what she is your mom, parents jobs are to annoy their kids, from there, if she accepts your apology I would try to compromise with Mom, and have like a skype session once every two/three weeks with some text messages in between... so you have your space & she can know just how you're doing.
[info]mirasango Re: O/T but I kinda fucked up and need some advice22nd-Feb-2011 03:29 pm (UTC)
I have to be honest here: I can't relate to that feeling, I love my mom and would not have reason to say such things to her.

However I would take some time and see if that's how you really feel. If you do then it might just be best for all concerned (physically, emotionally and mentally) to cut ties with her and not interact with her at all in future. Just remember she and you will only be here for so long and once she is gone you won't be able to speak with her again.

Good luck hon, I hope it all works out for you.
