The hype here in Australia has been amazing so I can't begin to imagine what it's like over in the UK. A friend of mine who lives in England said that there are flags, bunting and souvenirs EVERYWHERE.
I wish my Grandma was still alive as she loved the Royals and it would have been fun to watch the wedding with her. (I was too young to watch Charles and Di's wedding so this is my first real Royal wedding).
When the Queen came out to Australia in 1954 my Grandma, who was 7mths pregnant with my Mum, went into the city and braved the crowds to catch a glimpse of the young Queen.
Here are some other famous brides, and Kate will now be added to this group after today, how exciting for her. Imagine how her parents feel!
Apparently the Abbey has been transformed into a woodland with trees and foliage everywhere - can't wait to see it!

Are you excited or you just don't care?
I'll be getting ready for Will's 2nd birthday party while I'm watching the wedding, if I wasn't going to be running around I'd get out my wedding dress and watch the wedding in my dress :) hehehehe I know I'm a hopeless romantic sucker :)
Have a right royal day and enjoy!
I'm definitely going to be watching the wedding. I'm not as crazy fanatical as I was for Charles and Diana's, but I think it is just that I"m so much older than the age of the bride and groom now. You can read about my experience watching Charles and Diana's wedding on my post: http://gracie-senseandsimplicity.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-three-close-encounters-with-british.html
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they were decorating the Abbey with twigs and leaves and making it all woodlandy - how lovely. I can't wait to see it.
Oh yes, I am beside myself with excitment. So happy for our Royal Family!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI will attempt to get up early enough to watch it. I think besides being a romantic, I love that it's history in the making!
