A Right Royal Wedding!


Arhh, didn't she look lovely?
I would not call myself a Royalist but I do believe the Royal family are an important part of our heritage and makes us as a nation what we are.

I was not going to spend all day watching the wedding,
I was going to maybe take a peek at the dress,
 have a nosey who was on the guest list and the outfits they were wearing,
and then I was going to do some gardening.
 But I found myself being drawn in and before long I was taking photos of the ceremony

and then hubby had to make some bacon butties as I was unable to drag myself away from the TV!
The pageantry was something special.

The British know how to put on a Royal Wedding, I'll give them that.
I am sure those that are interested will find much better photos of the day than these but I thought I would share them anyway.
And if your not in the least interested in the goings on in the capital today, I hope you still enjoyed your day doing what ever you decided to do.

    I worked today and I sat with one of my residents and watched the whole wedding cermony. Like you I am not especially a roylist these days but I got quite emotional a couple of times. She looked lovely and I feel she won't be half as sensitive and more level headed than Diana.

    The wedding coverage on our TV started from 3:00 a.m. so I decide to not bother going to bed. I read my book until show time and then thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. She was beautiful...good thing I has some tissues handy:)

    My buddy Liz came over at 6 AM, and we drank tea from my Great Aunt Margretta's tea cups as we watched the ceremony. In this crazy world, even us Yankees enjoyed a peek at a royal fairy tale. I think that if anyone can get all this right, it just might be Wills and Kate.

    I got up at five this morning and loved every minute that I got a chance to watch.

    We had a tea party, with crustless sandwiches, cakes, scones & jam, champagne & strawberries, and tea in china cups ... love my heritage! The wedding was wonderful, Kate looked stunning, and the pageanty was amazing. It gave me goosebumps. Thoroughly enjoyed it and wish them a lifetime of happiness (if the media can leave them alone).

    The whole celebration was a breath of fresh air for a weary world! I took the day off from work - and got up @ 3am to start watching; was totally hooked the whole day! Good thing Kleenex were handy!

    great photos of a memorable occasion. I remember watching PRINCESS MARGARET"S wedding when I was growing up -- couldn't understand why someone would get married at 6 in the morning!!!!

    Likewise! I was just going to check in briefly to see who was wearing what and who was there, and got totally sucked in. Whole day gone! I agree that we generally do these things so well in this country though.

    The same as you, I was just going to have a quick look.....several hours later...! It was a great spectacle though, the whole thing. She looked gorgeous - and (what do we really know?) she seems very natural and nice.

    Hi Lyn,

    I remember Charles and Diana's wedding so well! Every street had a council funded party with food, comemmerative mugs, etc...did they do that again this time round? Not much fuss over here but all over the media of course.

    Your cupcakes and those butties look great!

    It really did draw you in didn't it?! We are pretty lucky to have such a heritage. I'm not a royalist either but I appreciate this special thing. It is wicked for tourism as well! xxx

    I ended up watching much more of the wedding then I had planned. I was on my own as my OH went off fishing for the day! x

    PS. I sat and ate cream meringue nests, and got no housework done whatsoever!

    I was the same as you, I thought I'd just watch the actual ceremony but I was hooked from the very beginning and spent the day on the sofa sipping mini bottles of champagne (well, 2 very mini ones as I was home alone with the boys). I loved it! Kate looked amazing and I don't regret for a second not getting into the garden, there is plenty of time for that on another day. Bethx
