Royal Wedding Fun

So Friday 29th April 2011 was another little bit of history to go in the diary - the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. I remember 30 years ago sitting glued to the TV watching Prince Charles & Lady Diana get married and like most young girls dreamt of a big white wedding to a prince for myself. (I did get my prince but it was a rather less grand wedding with a red dress LOL).

We spent the Wedding Day at my friend's house - TV was on from early morning and then we set everything up for an afternoon BBQ and the weather was so kind to us and kept the sun shining.  It did get rather windy and we took down the gazebo before it blew away!  We had a lovely afternoon of drinking, eating and chatting and then some bright spark decided to play some games - so drink and wheelbarrow races - do they go?  You tell me from this picture of my best mate Kath who didn't get very far down the garden LOL


Oh and the Royal Wedding itself?  Well the dress was beautiful, the kiss on the balcony expected  but still classic and the bride and groom radiated a glowing love for each other which quite frankly never seemed to show up in Charles & Di's wedding (or indeed their married life afterwards).  I think William will make a fantastic King with the grace and empathy he gets from his mother and Kate is going to be the perfect consort alongside him supporting him and showing her own graciousness as well.  It was a lovely wedding day but I'm not sure A had quite the same dreams as I did 30 years ago - think she may have missed a step or two in the process! LOL
