I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and post this mainly for posterity's sake. Man, was this truly a fairy tale wedding!
I honestly didn't even plan on watching it. I mean, it was going on smack-dab in the middle of the work day. Next thing you know, the boss heads out to a meeting for a couple of hours and Zinda (our secretary) and I are watching the darn thing on the 46" plasma TV in his office! Practically all the other peeps with TVs in their offices were tuning in too. Finally, I caved in after going to the headquarters and seeing it live on CNN in the lobby of the deputy commanding general's office. If his peeps are watching it, why not I?
I'm with tons of other people when they say that they couldn't help but think about Princess Diana while it was all going on. I couldn't help but think about how happy she would have been if she were there and whether or not William was thinking the same thing as he stood beside his blushing bride at the altar. Kate was gorgeous and poised and carried herself with grace. I have the feeling that she will make as much as an impact on the world as Princess Diana did. I wish them both a happy and fruitful marriage.
The rest of the time, I spent poking fun at the entire affair. I mean, what's up with the "countdown to the royal kiss"? Really? And then, when the kiss actually happened...what a let down. He should have at least dipped the girl and slapped a big wet one on her. Finally....what was up with those hideous hats? Don't get me wrong, some were cool. But these???
Royalty or not....what were they thinking?
All in all...a beautiful affair. I'm glad I got to witness it!
Happy Saturday everyone!
