The Royal Wedding

I take a moment from the usual posts on this blog to talk about what Lizzie and I saw quite early this morning as she was nursing.  Yes at 4 a.m. we were awake and looking at the live stream (horrible stopping all the time btw due to buffering) of THE Royal Wedding.  What a dream!!!  I have to say I am unabashedly a fan!  It was lovely.  Just pure loveliness.  The stuff that only Disney and England could pull off so well.

Yes I was in tears as they entered into Westminster Abbey (btw Paul and I were there last year!  So glad he convinced me to go inside).  And then they sang "Come thou Great Jehovah."  Amazing!!  Wow.  Sorry I should write in better sentences.  And of course Kate was such a lovely bride.  Her dress was so incredibly tasteful.  Reminded me of something Grace Kelley would have worn, or did she?  I feel like I've seen her in something similar.  There was beautiful lace all around it.  So demure.  I hear that the lace was hand-stitched and the people who sewed it washed their hands every half and hour to keep the integrity of the dress intact.

John Rutter composed a lovely new song for the event and well, you can always watch the clips on YouTube.  That's what Paul and I spent the morning doing.  And I think the thing that took my breath (and Kate's) away the most was when she and her prince charming walked into the balcony of Buckingham Palace and you could read her lips that she said "wow!"  Then it panned out to the crowd and it was packed.  It went on for miles.  You can't tell me that any woman who hasn't ever dreamed of being a princess didn't just love the whole thing.  It was just lovely and I think the world of Kate. 

 Look at that lovely train!!  And what a gutsy move to have her bridesmaid/sister also wear white.  Fabulous idea.

 The go the prince and princess (or I guess Duke and Duchess (confused)). 

Well, what a lovely morning.  Dear Lizzie, in this world of crazy women like Lady Gaga and whomever else is popular once you are a teenager, you have my full permission to follow the demure and ladylike example of this lovely Kate.  She seems just so, well, lovely and like a shining star for England.  Well, there's my drooling blog of the day.

How is Lizzie, you ask?  Great!  She is sleeping through the night more and I have her on me on a sling while I write this blog.  I figure she'll only be  newborn once and as great as a royal wedding is, there is nothing lovelier than just rocking and holding her.  Such a sweetheart.
