I Loved The British Royal Wedding

I Loved The British Royal Wedding

I set my alarm for 3:50 A.M. and got up to watch all the coverage on TV. Jack got up around 6:30 A.M. when the wedding show was really getting interesting. Together we watched Kate's arrival at Westminster Abbey and the actual wedding ceremony. We both got a kick out of brother Harry looking back at Kate coming down the aisle on her father's arm and then turning to his brother Wills to give him a quick description of Kate's gown. Maybe it is Harry's flaming red hair but I get such a kick out him. I think he is so down to earth that I can see him coming up to you in a British pub and setting down and chatting with you over a beer.

Everyone has discussed the best dressed and the worst dressed so I'm not going to rehash any of that wedding news. I will just end by saying that my favorite moment of the wedding was when the royal wedding couple drove themselves away from Buckingham Palace with JUST WED on the back license plate and L for learner's permit on the front license plate.

Did You Get An Invitation?

Did You Get An Invitation?

Did you get an invitation to the April wedding in London of William and Kate? Well, Jack and I didn't either. Look at it this way. We won't have to purchase a wedding gift or buy a new outfit for the wedding. What do you get a a prince and his bride anyway? Plus we can watch the entire wedding event from the beginning with the arrivals at the church to the end with the royal wave from the balcony of Buckingham Palace while staying in our jammies on the family room sofa. We just need to remember to set the alarm early that day.

These old pics from old slides were from a trip Jack took to London in 1973. While in London Jack had to go to the palace and watch the changing of the guard.

Oh, one more thing. We really shouldn't feel bad about not getting an invitation to the royal wedding. Lady Fergie, Queen Elizabeth's ex daughter-in-law didn't get an invite either. And she is William's aunt or ex-aunt. Can you be ex'd as an aunt if you get divorced? I'm not up on marriage protocol.
