The Royal Wedding has a special meaning to me.
Sure, everyone can’t help but be excited – a regular girl, about to become a princess. The fashion. The pomp and circumstance. But I have a different reason.
I was born on Prince Charles & Princess Diana’s wedding day. Rumors have it that everyone in the delivery room exclaimed, “Princess Diana has arrived!” when I crowned. It was at that time that my middle name was chosen: Diana. That day was July 29th, 1981.
And now, one of Diana’s beloved sons, William, is to get married to the beautiful Kate Middleton. A “normal” girl. A fairy tale come true. And it’s happening on April 29, 2011 – my sister’s birthday. What? It’s so strange.
But I digress.
How gorgeous did the new princess (excuse me, dutchess) look in Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen??
& her sister, and maid of honor, was not far behind in a slinky, form fitting beauty of a McQueen gown in a rich cream.
Much congratulations to the new couple, may they be the voice of a new generation!
ps; I loved all the fun hats/fascinators!

OMG I did not know this! LOVE IT!!!
Also, I adore the dress. Didn’t think she’d go so traditional but glad she did.

It’s not really something a lot of people know except family (they love telling the story), so I figured I would share the reason for my interest is all this royal mumbo-jumbo! 😉
Also, the day Diana died was especially sad for me. 😐
Megs says
I’m sure it was!!
Well, at least you have a reason to be into this “mumbo jumbo.” I’ve a newfound love for the whole thing now.
