Flowers for the Wedding

Timing is everything. Being at the right place at the right time. And so my story begins....

When we arrived at the Westminster Abbey Gift Shop at 5:30pm and realized after a huge, long, tiring trek via the Tube, that it was CLOSED we freaked....quietly...

We bought a couple of things there the day before, but it was closing for the night and we were being rushed out. We knew we would return. Oops!

But alas, it was 'divine intervention' because 'something' was about to happen. A crowd had started to congregate in front of the entrance to Westminster Abbey? There was roping off of the area and people were being detoured around the taped area.

The rumour was 'Kate and Will were arriving at 6:30pm for the Wedding Rehearsal?' You have got to be kidding me!! OMG!!!

Camera men were all around. Everyone waiting for the arrival.

I could not believe it. We were so excited.

Soon, trucks started to arrive. The flowers, or I should say, TREES, were being delivered for the Wedding. Yes, trees! Some flowered, but mostly green.

We spent 3 hours watching these people take these into Westminster Abbey. They were wrapped with purple ribbon......Guess who has a piece of the purple ribbon and leaves from the trees???? Oh yeah! I asked the woman very nicely, who seemed to be in charge, and she gave me a string of ribbon. The leaf came to me...

Anyways, long story short, no Wedding Rehearsal tonight. Oh well.

But it was still great as we met a gal from France who is in London for the Wedding. She and I proudly showed off our treasures in front of Westminster Abbey. As well, we met a family from Sarnia, Ontario.

And everyone in the crowd had ideas about where the BEST spot is to wait for the Wedding.......I think we are going back to Buckingham Palace?
