By the time this posts, I will have either watched part or all of the ceremony of the century: the royal wedding of Catherine “Kate” Middleton to Prince William. I will faithfully get up and watch this joyous occasion, even though I have set my DVR to record everything on BBC America. Like a lot of people, I’m all a flutter about what Kate’s dress will look like and I am thoroughly enjoying all of the coverage of the wedding preparations from England. I even watched “Royally Mad” on BBC America, a show about 10 American’s picked because of their Royal Family obsessions to participate in activities and contests themed around the upcoming nuptials. I only wish I were there myself to soak it all in.
I remember watching Prince Charles and Diana’s wedding, and also Prince Andrew and Sarah’s wedding. Although I was eleven and sixteen respectively, I recall getting up at all hours of the morning just to witness it live. I guess my anglophilism began long before high school.
I hope you all enjoy the wedding as much as I will. In the meantime, for something a little fun, you can wish the couple well by signing “The Royal Wedding Guestbook” on Yahoo. Cheers!
