THE Wedding

You may or may not have heard that a beloved son of England wed a commoner this week, April 29th to be exact.

The two met in college, and judging by their perfect dental structure and high cheek bones, appear to be a great match.

I will be honest ... I know very little about all this except the few following things:

Bunting on Regents Street ready to go!

1) He is the son of Diana, the beloved Princess

2) This is all occurring in London

3) The U.S. has WAY more press coverage than the U.K. (read here for research by my very own)

4) Many Brits are a bit indifferent about the whole thing, and a portion are quite irate with the frivolous expenditure of funds and/or are getting out of town to avoid the whole thing

Get your memorabilia!

5) Our hot, young couple is attempting to break some long standing traditions, like servants and polyester


6) There are a LOT of plates, cups, flags, T-shirts, condoms, plant seeds, bunting, greeting cards, coasters, ash trays, key chains - you name it - with their faces on them.  Most of the pictures are horrible and most are made in China.  I can't decide what will be worth something when I am old.

7) They are in for quite a challenge to make this relationship work and hide their fatigue / fear

8) My friend Shannon actually walked into the hotel where Kate was staying the night before, casually ordered a drink, and saw her check in (WHAT??) "looking gaunt"

Int'l Press Booth at Buckingham

9)  And yet others bravely weathered the elements to camp out on the grounds in attempt to catch a glimpse; yet more surprisingly (just by a a hair) others in the U.S. are setting alarm clocks at 3AM to get up and see the coverage - living life to the fullest

10) It is pretty cool that I am living here at this time, and will have a "I was there when ..." story from Bill's mews, shared with my parents and newest of friends at the time, feeling quit humble at the situation and optimistic that love reins all - truly.

"Calm down you can still marry Harry"  Whew.

Even case da Sarah is in the spirit!
