The Royal Wedding!

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!!

Google it; you can see detailed pictures on line, much better than TV.

I admit it, I was up watching, too. How many times in your life to you get to see a real live fairy tale? I thought it was beautiful!

Poor Beatrice and Eugenia....goes to show that position and money don't automatically confer taste.

Oh dear goodness - I think they wore the ugliest thing they could get - to protest their mother not being invited. That one hat was so bad that it was like a joke. Homely poor things.
