We didn't wake up before dawn to watch the royal wedding, but, I confess, we did jump on the computer first thing this morning to take in the highlights.
Anna -- As the family's royal family enthusiast (and owner of the Princess Diana paperdolls) I knew you would be watching. I agree, it was beautiful. I couldn't help smiling this morning when I saw Catherine's dress... the lace overlay was so similar to what your own bridesmaids wore!
I, too, looked at some highlights in the morning. Dan and I both have bad colds right now, and he couldn't sleep at all that night and ended up flipping on the tv and watching a bunch of it. He said the sermon was actually pretty good :)
Glad to know there are a few folks with a heart for the royal family. I think maybe we need the good news that comes with a wedding, the hopeful news, a welcome reprieve from the ordinary and the tragedy-locally and globally. Hope is powerful.
Confession: Oh, how I felt a stab of envy that you have a Diana paperdoll book, Little Sister is so, so lucky!
Did I tell you this already? I had been in Illinois for 11 days with my mom during her knee replacement surgery on April 26th. I had been sleeping on a cot in her apartment in the retirement center. Two days after the surgery the phone rings at 4:00AM. It is dark and I am confused, then scared. Caller ID is Delnor Hospital. My heart is pounding, but then I hear my mom's familiar voice, "Are you watching the wedding?". I'm pretty sure I lost a good ten years of my life that morning. My adrenaline keep me up through the whole thing. (-:

I confess I taped it and turned it on first thing this morning and the boys watched a little of it with me. I thought it was beautiful.

I got up 45 minutes early and caught the 2nd half. It was lovely and fun to see something happy on the news!
you're fun! I did think her dress was lovely. Kelly

merlin -- It's my sister, Anna, that is/was(?) the proud owner of Princess Diana paper dolls. Anna has always been the doll lover in our family.
Which highlights were your favorites? The dress, to be sure, right?!
