Royal Wedding

Yep, we got up at 5am (thank goodness I live on the East coast).

Royal wedding: Kate Middleton on her way to Westminster Abbey

Watched the procession, starting with William and Harry's car around 5:15 or so, all the way through the wedding and the post wedding procession until about 7:30 when I absolutely had to get in the shower so I wouldn't be late for work.

Royal wedding: the ceremony

Believe me, had I felt any cough, sore throat, headache, tummy ache etc, I might have very seriously considered maybe calling in sick to work. (I probably would have considered it and then procrastinated that much longer getting ready before getting my butt in gear and getting to work.)

Prince William and his wife Catherine kiss on the balcony at Buckingham Palace

But I loved it. Every minute of it. From the insane hats (cough Beatrice, cough) to adorable little flower girls, cute little choir boys, handsome princes in their uniforms, and us loving the cute half smiles of Kate and Wills. It was a squeal-fest (yep I just said that to describe the early morning sleepy/giddiness exuding itself in our living room) and probably the happiest occasion for lack of sleep. I'd do it again in a heart beat. 

And if you want to read something awesome, go read the live blogging of the Fug Girls. It really is hilarious. And because I love the Fug Girls, you should read this, and go through the slide show with commentary of the wedding. Pretty awesome too.

And I might just be a little obsessed with Kate the Duchess of Cambridge.

Mom and I got up at 2:40 just in time to see the flower girls get in their cars. We watched until they went to Buckingham Palace, but didn't stay for the kiss. We had to get SOME sleep. I have been so happy all day long about it. It was beautiful and absolutely worth every moment watching it live.
