The Royal Wedding - I was there!

Well sort of......I watched it live  - from 4:00 am to  the balcony kisses -   and thats more than I can say for anyone else I know.     Instead of getting up early, I just stayed up and got some computer work done

It was fabulous!   The hats that the women guests wore were phenomenal...I saw Prince Charles wipe his nose and then shake hands with the archbishop...I saw Elton John hardly open his mouth to sing... and  saw  Fergie's daughters behind the Queen, without their mother (she was not invited).

I watched the Diana and Charles wedding in the middle of the night 30? years ago.when we lived in Colorado...but I don't think I will do the same the Will and Kate's firstborn in another 30 years....too tired today. I used to fantasize about going to a tea party at Buckingham. Although that will never happen, I did have a date to accompany Prince Charles and Princess Ann while in Winnipeg in 1970 that was cancelled. They only went as far as Churchill in the north and then went home. Sigh! What a great story that would have been.
