There once was a wedding watched around the world...

Did you know today was the royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Price William? If not, you must be living under a very large rock or in the dark ages perhaps.

The hype has been being built up for months it seems and I had heard enough of it. I honestly did not think I would be interested in watching said wedding, but boy was I wrong. I am totally and completely captivated by the coverage provided by CNN and MSN. Seriously, I cannot stop looking at the pictures. Oh, and did you see the cake!?!


 Oh my!

During the hours that I have spent reading recaps and browsing pictures I have found my favorite:

Please take a look at the little girl on Kate's right. She is covering her ears because of the loud cheering happening below. I just think it is precious and such a sweet photo!

I am also loving the pictures of Kate. Her dress was so beautiful and timely. I never thought I would like a wedding dress with sleeves but hers are so elegant.
I would also like to say that I love all the hats that I have seen while looking at photos. I would love to wear some of them, but I think I might get some odd looks from people here in the US of A...I will have to think about that!

Congratulations Prince William and Kate!


On another wedding related note: I was at the nail salon getting a pedicure last night (heaven!) when I heard women talking about their plans for today. Apparently they had taken the day off work and were having a sleepover and getting up to watch all the coverage of the Royal Wedding. They planned on wearing their wedding dresses and crowns while drinking tea and eating scones. I laughed to myself at the plans of these grown women though now I wish I could have joined them. What about you-did you have any crazy or fun viewing parties?

I love the photo of them kissing on the balcony! I was up by myself at 1am watching. :) I loved every minute of it! How FUN to wear wedding dresses while watching! That group of women had a great idea!

One of my friends is having a watch party tomorrow evening...and she told everyone to wear wedding, bridesmaid or prom gowns. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to go...but it will be fun!
