US fans descend on London for wedding madness

LONDON?- For hardcore fans of the British monarchy, sitting glued to the television with popcorn just doesn't cut it for an occasion like a royal wedding.

Instead, hundreds of American anglophiles?- armed with homemade fascinators, Union Jacks on sticks, and boundless enthusiasm?- have flown to London to be in the thick of it, even if the throngs may make it hard to actually see the royal couple.

"Who knows when the next wedding of a future monarch will take place?" said Catie Anchin, a 29-year-old fan who arrived with her husband from Washington D.C. on Tuesday. "This is my chance to see history happen in the flesh."

What is the draw for people without prized invitations to Westminster Abbey? They say they want to soak up the atmosphere, hoard souvenirs, and, most important, catch a glimpse of the couple's public smooch on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

That last mission won't be an easy one.

As the tourists scoped out the best spot to stand, they worriedly asked how exactly they could beat the roughly 1 million other well-wishers expected to line The Mall on Friday.

"Holy Toledo, what am I going to do on the day?" said Debbie Achs, a property manager from Mesa, Arizona, as she took in the barricades and the scale of the press stands being set up around the palace and along the wedding procession route. "If I see the balcony kiss that will be the icing on the cake. I don't think I'll be camping out at 5 am, so I'll have to get creative in other ways."

Achs, 54, rushed to book her flight days after William and Middleton announced their wedding date in late November. The wedding provides the perfect excuse to visit Britain, her spiritual home, to which she has been returning every year since 2001 to indulge her appetite for castles and royal history.

Other American tourists have similar stories about their love affair with the royals: Hailing from such a young nation, they're fascinated by the centuries-old protocol, the pomp, and the fairytale stories of princes and princesses. Some of' said Ashby, 56, from Geneva, Nebraska.

She's made her own fascinator for the occasion, too?- a pink and black piece complete with a big butterfly.

"We never get the opportunity to wear such fun and frivolity," she said. "I will wear my fascinator with pride, and cheer and yell for the royal couple as loudly as if I were at a football match."

Others say they would be content bringing home memories of the day.

"Even if we can't actually see them, we'll hear the horses' hooves on the ground and the creak of the carriages," said Sheree Troy, a 54-year-old collector of royal memorabilia from Lincolnton, North Carolina. Troy has more than 200 royal-related books and a display case heaving with monarchy items at home.

Anchin has been incorporating more royal history into her life choices since then?- including convincing her husband, Scott, to get married last year on the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's marriage to Prince Philip.

To make the most of her trip, Anchin is also planning to celebrate the night before at Mahiki, the posh nightclub where William and Middleton have been known to party.

Her husband didn't mind.

"Who needs sleep on the royal wedding week?" he said. "I'm ready for it."
