The Royal Wedding

Ian and I woke up at 4:30 am last Friday to see the Royal Wedding Live (on TV).    It was an amazing event.   I felt like I was there, and I was really glued to my TV until the kiss on the balcony.   Everything was so beautiful.

I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what the dress, which had been speculated about endlessly, looked like.    I couldn’t wait to see the groom’s face when he saw the bride or to hear all of the traditional pieces of a royal wedding..  live.

It’s different when you see it later in the media.  Bits are chopped off and transformed into a good media piece.  I wanted a chance to see the whole thing, as it happened, and I was glad to be able to.

Brit came in while the crowd was assembling outside the balcony.  I said, “Look, Brit!   They’re about to kiss on the balcony.  It’s a big deal!  Look at the crowd!”   She was equally impressed.

I was excited for Britain that day, seeing people happy and celebrating together.

We’ll have to fly in for the next one.  🙂
