Have you caught
Royal Wedding Fever? I didn't think I would, but after watching a couple of TLC documentaries about Prince William and Kate Middleton, I really sort of got into it. It's all so romantic, really - small town girl meets Prince, he sweeps her off her feet and makes her his princess. Last night, Ryan and I gave ourselves a crash course in the British Monarchy by doing some internet research (okay, well admittedly, he did research while I watched an E! program about the wedding) and then we had fun speculating about royal life, and imagining how awesome it would be to get invited to the reception. Although I didn't wake up at 5 a.m. to watch the wedding (though I kind of wish I had), I was up in time to see the newlyweds appear on the balcony and kiss (twice!). They are such a beautiful couple, and Kate's just dress blew me away.
Today at preschool we are celebrating the big occasion with Prince and Princess Day. I can't wait to see my little munchkins decked out in their fairy-tale finest!
And lastly... we lived in England when I was 5. What if we had stayed? It's not like millions of other girls aren't thinking the same thing or anything, but seriously.
That could have been me.
The wedding footage is on again right now! And crazy sister, you ARE royalty :) Funny to think about how things would be different if we'd stayed, though!
ReplyDeleteInteresting thought! You are a very good writer, Nicole--I'm really enjoying your blog. I watched the made- for tv movie about them on Lifetime; it was good preparation for the big event. I was going to get up at 4 (central time in Texas) but my alarm didn't go off, and since I thought the wedding itself was at 6 (it was really 5 central) I made coffee and breakfast, and didn't turn the TV on until right before they were taking their vows! What an amazing homily and reading from the bride's sister. Love that British accent. And you two girls ARE royalty--any prince would be lucky to have you!
ReplyDeleteDad and I were talking and he mentioned the romantic way Ryan proposed--how like something out of medieval chivalry! So you are married to a prince. :)
ReplyDeleteOops I meant reading from the brides brother of course. Sisters dress was beautiful.
