Countdown to the Royal Wedding
Ok, I have a confession....
I love royal weddings. Not just an ordinary curiosity kind of interest, but a "get out of
bed at 3:00am in the morning to watch it live" kind of love.
Yes I did set my alarm to watch the wedding of Prince Charles to Princess Diana in 1981.
I was only 15 years old and still at the age of dreaming of my own "fairytale wedding"
and "happily ever after". I was so in awe of the pomp and circumstance involved in every
aspect of their celebration.
Who knows, maybe that was the beginning of my wedding planning career!?
I loved Princess Diana, and felt she was the epitome of style, grace and beauty. She managed
to be a kind and loving mother while holding down the distinct honor of Princess of Wales;
and all of the obligations that come along with that position. She was an inspiration to those
of us working mommies who try to balance work and home life on a daily basis.
But here we are 30 years later. 30 years!!! And finally we're getting the chance to be
entranced in another fairytale romance.
And this time, whether it's because I am older, (and maybe a little wiser), but I can't help feeling so excited about the impending nuptials of Prince William and Catherine. Who isn't captivated by the love story of the "girl next door" finding and marrying her Prince Charming?
Wow.
And, while having never met Kate, I truly believe that she is fitting to be the People's Princess. She exudes the same style and grace that Princess Diana had, and you can't look at the expression on her face without believing with all your heart, that dreams do come true.
