As people across the world tuned in this morning to watch Prince William, the son of the heir to the British throne, wed his long time girlfriend, Kate Middleton, they were also turning to Twitter to share their thoughts. In fact, at the height of the ceremony, the Royal Wedding was mentioned around 67 times per second on Twitter. While some sentiments were more emotional…

@NikkiSchwab: Cheers here at the Ritz when Kate was first shown on the giants screens.#royalwedding

@LukeRussert: This is surreal even for 2011 standards. More enthralling than a POTUS inaug. Can’t think of #USA equivalent. #royalwedding

@CapehartJ: Woke up at 5:58. Prepared to work out. Saw Kate Middleton. Stopped in my tracks. Beautiful.

@piersmorgan: She would have been so proud of her boy today #DianaRIP

…others just made us laugh…

@EmilyMillerDC: Charles has a bad comb over. He should just shave it off

@pwgavin: Eh. Still think Khloe & Lamar’s nuptials were more elegant.

@cheeky_geeky: The #RoyalWedding is something to behold. I like how they went with the ‘thrifty’ theme to keep up with the times.

@RepWeiner: Just catching up here. So she wore a Steve McQeen dress? #TheOneHeWoreInBullitt
