I couldn't sleep last night and no, it wasn't because of my husband's snoring. It was the anticipation of the royal wedding. I woke up at 12:00 a.m. and again at 2:00. Finally at 3:15, I decided to go ahead and get up. Why didn't I just set my DVR to record it?? I did...in fact, I set both of my DVR's to tape two different channels with coverage leading up to the wedding. I have always been a celebrity follower, so this was right up my alley. I remember doing the same thing almost 30 years ago with Charles and Diana's wedding. Sure, I could have watched the tape when I got home from work, but there is something about watching something live as history is being made. Plus, I was really excited about seeing Kate's dress.
I caught myself smiling at today's wedding because with all the pomp and circumstance surrounding this royal couple, you could see past that and see a couple that are genuinely in love and excited to be getting married. You could see it in Prince William's face when he saw his bride for the first time. You could see it in her eyes as she looked at her prince charming.
There is a fairytale element when watching a royal wedding. No expense is spared and it is very elaborate. Over the top really. What bride wouldn't love to leave her wedding in a horse drawn carriage to her new home which happens to be a palace? That is the stuff that fairy tales are made of. With that being said, that is about all I would want of this lifestyle. Just today, I heard the media report that she wore too much mascara today. Really?? I thought she looked flawless. I could not stand living in a fishbowl with every mistake I made being broadcast by the media. There will always be the paparazzi hounding her every move and hoping to catch her on a bad day. Unlike Diana, Kate seems to have found a doting and supporting husband that will help her with every step of the way. And that is what makes it a real fairytale.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave until his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis 2:24
