fairy tale!

My favorite movie as a little girl was Cinderella....so naturally I LOVED the upcoming Royal wedding hoop-lah!  Lace, hats, big hats, carriages, fancy stuff, a love story....all completely up my alley!  I had butterflies in my stomach when I woke up and turned the TV on!

I set my alarm early on Friday morning, and got up and just stood in the extra bedroom and watched them go from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace....and waited excitedly for the kiss on the balcony!  B wasn't nearly as interested in the wedding, so I decided not to blare the TV in our bedroom.  I got so excited when I turned the TV on that morning, I just stood in the middle of the room watching, and I never sat down....I think I might have clapped when I saw her.



I wasn't up in time to watch the ceremony live (with DVR, there was no need to miss that much sleep...even though there was a bit of a misunderstanding with setting my DVR), my main concern was to see THE DRESS....I can't say enough how much I loved it!  Since they were riding in the carriage during my first glimpse, I could only see the top of the dress, and her veil...and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the lace, tiara, and veil.  I felt like she wore the dress, rather than the dress wearing her....

It was so classic, and timeless, and flattering, and not to mention she really did look like a princess!  Your wedding day is nerve wracking anyway, and to know the world is watching you, and you are marrying a prince, I just couldn't believe how composed she looked!  What a lady, it seemed like she was born to have this role!  There was not one thing I disliked about it...and it doesn't hurt that she's naturally gorgeous, and looked so happy....plus she's got a handsome prince! :)


When they arrived to get out of the carriage, it looked like Prince William let out a deep breath, like wow. 

 
Timeless!
