Introducing The Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge

Catherine & Prince William's Wedding went without a hitch this morning.
It was quite splendid. Not only was Catherine absolutely breath-taking, she and William truly look madly deeply in love.
How can one not smile and the thought that finally, Royalty marrying for love, and not pre-arranged. They are both 29 (okay William is almost 29) and they have had the opportunity to live a bit and not jump into something. Diana & Charles had all of 13 dates prior to their wedding... William has known Catherine for nearly ten years!
I know people are whining about the hoopla and expense of this Fairytale Wedding, and I say pooh-pooh to you! Personally a little, happy joyous news and sugar & spice is a welcome change to our depressing state of the world.  Yes, yes, the cost of this wedding could have given a lot of charities a lot of help... HOWEVER~
Did you know that the Royal couple are passionate about many charities and participate in raising awareness & money for these charities. Millions of dollars will be given to charities due to Catherine & William's wedding and exposure of causes.

Royal Wedding Charity Fund

Five charities are represented:

• Change Lives through Arts & Sports
• Children Fulfilling their Potential
• Support for Service Personnel & their Families
• Help & Care At Home
• Conservation for Future Generations

I found that to be very admirable and tasteful. 


Catherine chose to keep the Royal Wedding rather simple. William had his brother Harry as The Best Man, and Catherine had her Sister Pippa as The Maid of Honor.

 I was more in love with Pippa's dress, what a lovely Wedding dress that would make! I could see one of my girls wearing this :)

My morning was perfect. I woke at 4:30am, walked a few blocks over to my dear friend Jill's house, where she had a lovely Royal Breakfast for us. We were joined by another dear friend, Tammy.

Tammy, Jill, & Me

We drank fabulous French Pressed Coffee and English Tea in lovely delicate china cups.

We feasted on magnificent Sausage Rolls, English Scones, Cucumber Sandwiches, and Shortbread Cookies with Orange Marmalade and Preserves.

And some Fresh Strawberries and Cream♥







I really enjoyed this wedding! I chatted and ate while the ceremony was taking place, I didn't have to strain to get a good view, and I got the best birds eye view! (Plus I didn't have to buy a gift!).
What a fun day I have had, although I'm a bit sleepy now.
Cheerio To our lovely new Princess and her Prince Charming!

~May they Live Happily Ever After~

It's a Nice Day for A White Wedding...

Well tomorrow is the day.  Many have anxiously waited and although we do not know Prince William or Catherine, let alone are British, we are just the same, caught up in the excitement and feel it's like a Fairy Tale.

I will be getting up early and arriving at my friend Jill's, as well as another girlfriend, Tammy, for a marvelous Breakfast Celebration as we watch the wedding on the tube.

I remember the excitement July 29th 1981... When Beautiful Diana Spencer became Princess of Wales marrying Prince Charles (yucko) . We all loved her so. I was just 19 myself. Diana, just a year older than I. Charles was so much older...scary...ugly. And they was always that question why would she choose him. Years later there is that looming question as to if it was an arrange marriage.  The Queen refused to allow Charles to marry Camile, so it seems a more worthy wife was chosen.  Diana was so elegant. Even when her Husband was not.. She was passionate about her boys, and of her charities. She was adored even after her untimely death.

And now, we have a beautiful new Princess at hand. Catherine Middleton is a wonderful fresh face for us to admire. Her story is much different, however, there are similarities.  I do believe that Diana would approve of her son's choice and I like to believe that this time...this Prince truly loves his bride.

Well, I'm off to get some shuteye soon~
Goodnight~
