Okay...so I realize that everyone knew I was kidding about waiting for an Invitation to Kate & Will's Wedding? But, the experience we had, being in London, at Buckingham Palace for the Wedding of the Century, felt like we were guests to the Wedding.
As we sat at Buckingham Palace listening to Kate & Will's service on the huge speakers all around the Palace area, we were overwhelmed with how included we actually were. The crowds were silent while we listen to them saying their vows, joined in and sang along with the hymns, and erupted into huge cheers when they were announced as Man and Wife.
Unbelievable. We were able to get a few good pictures.
Kate and her father zipped by us on their way to Westminster Abbey in a beautiful, vintage car. She looked so regal and stunning waving to the crowds.
When the carriages arrived back at the Palace, Deb and I clicked away for that one great shot.
The 'kiss' on the Balcony is bittersweet. I was able to get this one, pretty good shot, but unfortunately, Debbie couldn't even see the Balcony with the million people that poured into the Palace area after they opened up for people to get to the gates of Buckingham Palace. Quite scary actually. We were behind the barricades and that kept us safe.
We celebrated the day by (after sleeping for 2 hours) having a delicious Indian dinner at 'The Cinnamon Club' near Westminster Abbey.
I bought every paper that already had the Royal Wedding pictures. I look forward to more tomorrow morning.....and souvenirs...I found a few.
