i'm not sure if it is the "pretty-woman-esq" fairytale, of the "prince" finding his bride among the common folk, the simple love of weddings or the fascination we all had with princess diana, but the impending wedding of kate middleton to prince william has spurred anticipation and excitement among millions, including me! i don't think of myself as getting overly excited about the daily lives of the "celebrity," but what is it about royalty that is so dreamy?
for me, i think it's tradition. i adore tradition, etiquette and the poised ways of yesteryear. looking back on the photos of this royal family, reading about the english traditions and centuries of grand weddings is a peek into a fanciful world most of us will never know except in storybooks. it will be fun to sit back, this week and watch the story unfold, perhaps with a glass of bubbly in hand and cozied up to my prince.
