They Did....

....and so did I. Woke about 4:40 AM, which was 10:40 AM in London. Reached for the remote and watched everyone arrive at the Westminster Abbey. I, for one, think Kate's dress was gorgeous.! It fit 'her',unlike Diana's poofy, wrinkled dress in 1981.

To look at William, I just think of his mother. Anybody that watched Diana and Charles wed, had to see the difference in the two ceremonies---30 years apart. Also, Diana's funeral was held there in 1997, I wondered what William thought. Bittersweet in a way.

William and Kate look so in love. Hey, I'm a hopeless romantic....I STILL want a tiara.

Such festiveness in England, while folks here in the US try to regain their lives after tornado literally tor their towns apart. The storms that victimized the Mississippi and Alabama, had earlier been in Texas. I was spared any damage, yet folks east of Dallas weren't as lucky, yet the devastation was nothing like Mississippi or Alabama.

It's something how one day can have different meanings and memories.

I pray everyone on this day is able to build anew and good--no matter the time it takes

10:41 PM and All's Well!

...and it's 4:41 AM in England. I wonder if William and Kate are awake? Did they even get any sleep?? Their Royal Wedding is hours away.

My DVR already set. Unlike in 1981, when Williams' parents, Charles and Diana, were married. Everybody got UP to watch it. No DVR's, and very expensive VCR's then, no YouTube and Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet:) My roommate came into my room, because I had the color TV--about a 13 inch one, yet color nonetheless. Neither one of us liked Diana's dress. I can honestly say, 30 years later, I'm still not to thrilled by it. Twas the '80's!

I suspect Kate's dress will something form fitting. It will be lovely, I believe.

30 years. Where DID the time go?

And look at the time now. I need to go to bed. William and Kate are starting their day. And I need to finish mine.

Royal, indeed.
