I'd prefer there to be an official head of state then letting someone like David Cameron being the all out leader of our nation. The event is also not being paid for only by British Tax payers. The Royal Family themselves are paying for everything except security and road closures (stuff like that). Wedding and Reception is being paid for by the Royals. Yes you may argue that we pay them but they get neglegible amount compared to what we just put into our banking system, infact they took less last year and probably bring in more in Tourism and the Royals help and give huge amounts to charity every year as well as employ hundreds of people.

Question: Where do they get their money in the first place?

The Royal Family are fully funded and paid for by the UK Government on behalf of the British tax payers. Half a billion pounds annually is the cost of security and police/military to protect and safe guard the Royal Family.
