A.Royal.Recap.

Well. No more waiting on the :::Royal::: wedding! It has come and gone, and I saw it all happen! I know some people think all the hype surrounding Will & Kate's nuptials is a bit absurd, and some days I guess I would kind of agree with those people. But as a young woman who is engaged, keeping up with all the news, and now finally seeing the Prince and his new Princess tie their [gorgeous] royal knot, has been a really fun experience for me! Even though all the action happened across the pond, hats & crazy fascinators [ahem, Princess Beatrice] off to all the networks here in the United States for doing an awesome job covering all the footage!

 Now. Not that anyone cares, but for memories sake I decided to recap some of my favorite moments from the historic day! One day I'll look back on this ole blog & it'll be lots of fun to remember!

TOP 10 FAVORITES OF THE ROYAL WEDDING:::
1. The Canary Queen: I smiled so big when I saw her & her adorable Angela Kelly ensemble step out of the car! If she isn't the most adorable matriarch I've ever seen! So proud of her for making a bold[er] fashion choice at age 85. You go girl! PS: I'm trying to convince the queen of our fam [Nana] to wear yellow on 6.25. She would look so cute! Hey, anything but that hot pink jogging suit.
2. Brotherly Love: I felt such a strong, comfortable sense of brotherhood from the two princes all day long! You could instantly spot their special & powerful bond. So sweet. Now I want a red-headed little brother.
3. Harry's Humor: You can tell this guy was keeping the mood light & fun for his big bro. He wasn't going to let um, the most iconic wedding of the century, stifle anyones spirits! Love that. Again, with the wanting a red-headed little brother.
4. Maid of Honor: Holy Pippa! Kate's sister looked just as lovely & timeless as the bride, [FYI: I now affectionately refer to my sister as Pippa at all times] and she did a great job keeping hold of those adorable lil bridesmaids!
5. [Speaking of] The Precious Attendants:

I'll take one of each, please!

6. Kate's Confidence: Of course her dress was gorgeous. Spot on! But let's face it...the woman could have been clad in a Glad trash bag and still oozed regality! She was so poised, and so appropriate in her body language and expression. Her subtle, yet effective confidence definitely put the queen in that Alexander McQueen gem of a gown!

7. Harry's Humor Part2: This was one of my favorite moments. As Kate walked down the aisle, both princes had their backs turned to her. Prince Harry looked over his shoulder to sneak a peek of his sis-in-law, then whispered to William "wait til you see her!" How sweet is that? Again. Gimme a RHLB.

8. Kate's Normality: From the moment she left the Goring Hotel, until she & her new hubby exited the Buckingham balcony...you could see Kate naturally and candidly soaking it all up. Which, I imagine is just like any other bride! I hope on my Big Day I am granted the calmness & poise to truly take those special moments in.

9. A Sweet Prayer: A special one said during the ceremony that William & Kate wrote themselves:::"God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage, in the busyness of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy. Strengthened by our union help us to serve and comfort those who suffer." Such sweet & true words! Great thoughts to reflect on as a couple. 

10. That Sweet Scared Bridesmaid: Did anyone else spot one of Kate’s tiny attendants covering her ears on the balcony? I hated loud noises as a child so I can definitely identify with her sensitive little ears! All that cheering & screaming! But it provided a precious opportunity to see Kate’s maternal side emerge.

Speaking of…it’s rumored that now that W+K are married…they’ve got 18 months to get pregnant. These royals are real serious about reproduction. Let the countdown to a Royal Heir begin! Just kidding. Kind of. :)
