I had no idea I would get so excited about William and Kate’s wedding! I have been hearing about it on NPR and reading articles on BBC (no cable in the Owens home). From what I have read and heard, I have become more and more impressed with this couple. They have every opportunity to be snobbish and extravagant, but have done nothing of the sort. Will & Kate asked their guests to donate to charities in lieu of giving them gifts. Kate planned to bring in trees, along with flowers, to Westminster Abbey to avoid the pretentious feel it can lend. I just read that Prince William was outside Buckingham Palace on the eve of his wedding (tonight has already come and gone in England) greeting the many fans that are camped outside, awaiting the ceremonies.
You can see that they just want to be a normal young couple. All in all, they seem to be handling the media and fanfare quite well. Cheers to the royal couple!
It looks like I would have to get up at about 3AM to watch the big events live. I’m not sure if I’m game... if only I could call in sick! I would at least like to see her dress - a true princess’ gown, I’m sure. NPR had some lovely suggestions for those that choose to enjoy the shindig live: Royal Recipes
I am very happy for this sweet couple and new princess of the United Kingdom! I hope that they can enjoy their day as much as Dryw and I did. XOXO

Katherine, I appreciate your comments for 2 reasons. First of all, I love that you listen to NPR. I have been an NPR listener for many years and couldn't live without it. Second, I was so excited when William and Kate announced their wedding date - my birthday! I got up at 2 am to watch the wedding and then watched replays and news reports all day. What a fun birthday! From everything I have seen and read, they are a really nice couple and I hope they have a long and happy marriage.
ReplyDeleteMarcia,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for YOUR comment. That must have been a wonderful birthday. I woke up at 3AM to watch the long awaited dress reveal and part of the service. Unfortunately, I had to go to work that morning, so I went back to sleep for a couple hours. I wish I could have seen everything live! I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday and the royal wedding. I was thinking how much fun it would have been to watch it all with Erin, too!
