I did wake up in the middle of the night and watch The Royal Wedding today. Ten in the morning London time was four in the morning Central Standard Time in the States. And of course it was absolutely beautiful. This event brought back out my fascination and secret obsession with the British monarchy and British history in general. As much as the United States is our own country, we lack the sense of national pride and regal-ness of having royal monarchs. As "independent" as we are from Britain, their kings and queens are still our kings and queens to follow, love, and pray for. I spent all day watching royal weddings on YouTube of William and Kate, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, the Queen Mother Elizabeth and King George VI, and Princess Diana's funeral. Elton John singing Candle in the Wind makes me think of her every time and it makes me cry.
For anyone who hasn't seen it, here is the video of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge walking down the aisle.
God bless the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and God Save the Queen!
