the last time there was a
royal wedding this significant, i was
8 years old. woken up early
by my mom, together sharing history.
30 years later, i am up
early again, bleary-eyed but excited
to watch history in the making
once more. my daughter too young
to appreciate it with me – drats.

I didn’t even know I’d watch ~ but I was up and so glad I was! My daughter’s getting married this year ~ so I really enjoyed it! I love that you remeber watching Diana’s wedding with your mom.

Hi Adrienne,
I really enjoyed getting up but reading all the tweets from people having tea and scones made me wish I had the same. 🙂
Sara
My oldest DS is old enough; unfortunately, not interested 😉
Enjoy the ceremony!
melgallant
I did, Sara, thanks! 🙂

You make me realize that the global ceremony is just one more excuse to vary our routine and get a little excited about something outside ourselves. Enjoy.
melgallant
So true. I didn’t think I would get so excited about this wedding, but I did. I think Twitter played a part in that. 😉

I watched Diana’s wedding with my mom and today I watched the wedding with her spirit 🙂

Lovely Ayala. 🙂

Wow, this was a fun twist on the topic! I’m glad you enjoyed it, I’m sorry your daughter wasn’t old enough to enjoy it with you! I missed both. I must just be WAY out of the loop!!

Hi Caroline – I remember when my mom woke me up for Charles and Diana’s wedding I didn’t really understand why she was waking me up. I got into it though the more I woke up. Looking back, I think she wanted someone to share in the moment with her. I’m glad we did. 🙂

I watched Charles and Diana’s wedding too but skipped this one – I didn’t even realize it was going until I signed on to Twitter. Yes, I do live under a rock. A REALLY big one apparently 🙂
melgallant
No, not living under a rock…most likely preoccupied by things in the life a little closer to home. 🙂

I’m so out of tv circulation that I missed this one. I bet the evening news will have footage!

And boy do they – the wedding is being aired over and over. 😉

Last time I was too young.
This time I was too sleepy.
Next time! Next time I’ll see. 😉
melgallant
Next time- there will definitely be one! 🙂

My little girl doesn’t understand the significance, but she loved the idea of a real life princess and waited so see her kiss her prince.

I didn’t think I was interested, but my husband recorded it for me and I’m glad I watched it.
melgallant
It was a lovely ceremony, right? Glad I watched it too. 🙂
Mama Zen
I know! My daughter wasn’t impressed, either.
melgallant
LOL – oh well…maybe someday yours and mine will. 😉
