Didn't She Look Beautiful?

Our future queen was faultless in her elegance.

The dress was absolutely amazing but I'm not sure about one thing tough (well two if you get what I mean). I don't if it was the lace or the fit or whether she just chose the wrong bra but she looked rather on the erm chilly side whilst walking down the aisle with her father if you catch my drift.  OK now I've said it so I will get ready for the guards to escort me to the tower where I shall stay forever more.

They are sure to have beautiful children who are our future history in the making.

The Day Is Almost Upon Us

Royal Wedding day that is.  If you haven't seen all the hype where the hell have you been lol

If you are hiding away from it all then I don't blame you.  There is big danger of overkill going on in the media circus.

However, it isn't every day or even every decade that a future king of England gets married (OK we will forget that Charles tied the knot with Camilla less than 10 years ago because that wasn't anything like this scale).

As a little girl I can remember bits of Princess Diana getting married from what we saw on TV and then the Duchess of York a short time later. 

So what do you think Kate's dress will be like?

I think it will be something very simple but with the WOW factor at the same time.  I don't think there will be miles of train following her. Maybe a couple of yards but nothing extravagant.

As for the bridesmaids I really don't know. Again I think it will be simple yet effective. 

Somebody has told me the bouquet is rumoured to contain lilac and wisteria so maybe a purple theme.

One thing that is more or less certain is that Prince William will be wearing his RAF uniform.

Will you be watching? Are you in another country and getting up early to watch it live?

Royal Wedding Memorabilia

I've just watched a programme on memorabilia from Royal Family events and basically every item was worth hardly anything.    I can't speak for every UK citizen but I'm betting that most houses have at least one item from either the coronation, silver jubilee, golden jubilee or the last couple of Royal weddings.  We have a silver jubilee cup and saucer hidden away at the back of a cupboard.  What for though?  I can't answer that.  I really don't know.

I keep getting email updates from Cath Kidston about their range of Royal Wedding memorabilia.  It isn't actually that bad in comparison to some of the tacky rubbish out there.  I don't know if I will be parting with any money though.  Cath Kidston products and me are a love affair but pennies don't allow me to spend much.

This is quite nice from the official collection

and then of course there is this. Spot the mistake - could just be a publicity stunt though.

For those who didn't spot it - the picture is of Harry not William.

Yankee have joined the party too with a range of candles

There are mountains of other things out there.  A quick search on ebay or etsy brings up thousands of items. We even have a Royal Wedding badge in Guiding which I am quite looking forward to working on because it means a party. I haven't actually seen the badge yet but found this on ebay.  I'm liking it even though I'm not a fan of all the crown stuff like 'Keep Calm and Carry On etc'
