Wedding Bliss!

ok, ok. I LOVE the Royal Couple! After oogling the Royal Wedding live on BBC from SF – Friday morning, midnight to 4:30am, I concluded this couple had real class. It showed in every detail of the Royal Wedding, but what really made me fall in love with Kate and Will was their departing Buckingham Palace in an antique Aston-Martin, with the future King driving, a big, fat “L” on the front (Learner), and their tag reading “JU5T WED”. Their “cool” factor rose 99 points. Daughter and I stayed glued to the telly all day Friday, watching “E” channel coverage, which was really fun – gossipy, sometimes outrageous, and polar opposite to BBC’s coverage. “E” channel focused on clothing, hats (OMGosh!), and backstory gossip with a panel of 4 commentators including a Monarcy expert, who explained all the pomp & circumstance. Wonderful! Hubby retreated to another room and his computer. If only this class act filters down to the 20 & 30-something “me” culture…

Royal Rumors

Did Kate “pursue” Wills?

Ok, ok.  I said I wasn’t  going to listen or watch Royal Wedding stuff,  but I can’t help myself – especially when looking at the program grid for BBC America all day Sunday – nothing but shows, and more shows, re Royal Weddings, past and present.

So, I plonked myself down in my easy chair (otherwise known as a…Recliner!), and proceeded to watch the entire day all that BBC America had to offer.  The most interesting nugget of information in the BBC documentary  was  that Kate had a poster of Wills on her bedroom wall in middle school.  No big deal.  Then, she followed “in his footsteps” to Chile only a month after he journeyed there in the exact same program for some sort of life-enriching experience.  She then chose the remote, Scottish college, St. Andrews , just the same as Wills, where she signed up for the exact same courses he did, and managed to get in the same  dorm he lived in.  Hmmmmm.

Seems slightly planned on her part (chased? stalked?) and if deliberate, shows her determination and patience, not bad traits.

Long live the King (and his Queen)!
