THE WEDDING, Kate & Wills 29 April 2011, it was special...

...there was something that was just so lovely about the bride being led down the red carpet by the religious leaders on the hand of her father followed by her sister-bridesmaid, flower girls and page boys. This moment had me leaning forward on my chair and I could feel the softest smile on my face forming followed by the softest feeling in my heart. Just breathtakingly beautiful. So much support before her and behind her.

In the commoner's (yes that word is really outdated, perhaps it would be better to say "everyday person's") world it is more typical to see the order reversed with the flower girls leading the way but I think we should take Kate's lead and order the party this way, don't you? 

In all the awe of where she married, there was still this intimacy, this charm of yesteryear. The way she moved down the aisle felt like a 'bride walking through the town to meet her groom' kind of feeling, as was tradition many, many years ago. And of course, it was very much like this as Kate did travel through the town but of course by car most of the way, rather than on foot.

And wasn't her waving just so sweet, delightfully innocent and genuine? With her prince on her mind, she certainly still managed to think of the hordes of people that came out to see her wed, Princess Catherine you seem like such a Jackie Onassis, Grace Kelly to me.

The thought that went into every detail (would we expect any less, probably not) resonated with me...that those trees will be planted after the wedding for example, how special is that? Also how perfectly eco-friendly. Speaking of eco responsibility what about the dash about town the couple made in a converted eco-friendly-fueled Aston Martin, how very cool...Wills drove the convertible with a license plate that read "JU5T WED" with shiny balloons and pretty ribbons attached. Oh so not traditional, again a spirit that the Royal Family hope will re-invent them.

And it is so time for that...we all need a little royal love in our lives and what better way to keep the royals alive than the announcement of
