What is the big deal about a royal wedding you ask? Only every girl in the entire world has dreamed of a fairytale Cinderella wedding and it is actually going to take place in our lifetime. On April 29th at 11AM London time (that is 5AM in the US east coast), a commoner Kate Middleton will marry a Prince, Prince William. Some will say who cares! Who Cares??? I and millions of other commoner care! It has been quoted actually that BILLIONS will tune in via TV, Internet,phone, and radio. There will be horse drawn carriages, the most gorgeous wedding dress , and jewels, not jewelry but jewels, sparkling everywhere. Famous people will fill London's West Minster Abbey for the event of the Century. Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will perform the ceremony after which the royal bride and groom will ride in a royal carriage to Buckingham Palace. The procession will pass some of London's most famous landmarks. Crowds of people will line the streets hoping catch a glimpse of the newlyweds. Once at Buckingham Palace, William and Kate are expected to make a public appearance on one of the balconies and there they will "KISS". OMG A Royal Kiss!!! This is what fairy tales are made of. The couple retreats into the palace and and attend a grand reception hosted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Remember once the Queen puts her fork down everyone must put their forks down. She would not last 1 day in our house with Gavin (7) around. She would probably want to get the yardstick (oh that is what southerners use, Queen Elizabeth would probably use that giant royal staff) after him inside of 5 minutes because he'd be asking for "one more bite, just one more, please, please, just one more quick "memory bite". Why do you think she has a big giant staff next to her when is seated in the royal chair. It's to bonk you when you are misbehaving or... poke at you just because she can. That is what I'm going to tell my kids anyway. I can't wait to watch this event. The entire wedding will be covered live by the BBC and several other network stations.
CNN will provide multi-platform coverage as well. It is sure to be a magical event and one that will be talked about for years to come. It will be history taking place right before our eyes. Don't miss it! You never know, if you look close enough, you may even see a glass slipper.
