The Royal Wedding!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Well, I had hoped to get up at 4 am to start watching the Royal Wedding, but even for royalty, I could not get up that early. Around 6 am I turned on the TV and was just in time to see the Queen making her way to the church. What a beautiful bride Kate Middleton turned out to be and I hope she and William have a more loving marriage than his parents. I can not believe it has been thirty years since Charles and Diana's wedding day and I remember it very clearly. I had only been married 3 years, no children yet, and my DH was a college student at Purdue and we were living in married student housing. I think I called in sick that day, so I would not miss a thing.  Where in the world did the time go?

Thirty years later I am watching the TV with Fudge sleeping next to me. It feels right. Now, I just hope Fudge and Vern don't celebrate too much later in the day. After all, it is their first Royal Wedding!!

[Bonnie and Kona]

In CA I got up at 2 am to watch. The coverage is so extensive this morning that I guess I could have waited but there was something special about watching it in "real" time. It was beautiful and warm and really royal. I loved it.  Our dogs were completely confused by the middle of the night schenanigans! They each stumbled to a spot and went right to sleep. Woke them up when I went back to bed at 4:30 and they slept until I got up at 7. Owen always wakes me at 6 am. Pretty sweet.

[Camilla and Darwin]

I didn't care much either (obviously since I forgot to watch it) and the only thing I really wanted to see was their cake, LOL!
