Wedding Fit For A Prince!

Royal Wedding: April 29, 2011

Being in London for the Royal Wedding was one of the most amazing experiences I have had while being abroad.

My roommates and I woke up at 4:30 a.m. gathered our blankets, towels, tiaras and capes that had the English flag on them and headed towards the bus.

We got to Hyde Park where we watched the Royal Wedding and had a concert in the park. When we first got there the area was not full at all but by the time we left, we were fighting through crowds of people in order to get to an area that was empty and escape all the madness.

British flags were waving all day and there were people dressed in all kinds of British attire, people with face paint and some with William and Kate look alike costumes.

The weather was typical London cold and it was freezing most of the morning but as soon as Wills looked at Kate in Westminster Abbey the sun came out! It was such a beautiful moment and surreal.

My favorite part was when Prince Harry turned around to see that Kate had arrived and lit up as soon as he saw her and then told Wills showing full excitement.

Her dress was beautiful, every one's excitement, the standing ovation for the Queen when she stepped out of the car in her yellow outfit and the overall atmosphere was truly amazing and I am so happy I was able to be a part of it.

The rest of the day we waited a long time for a bus back to our flat, saw all of the crazy people walking in masses by Buckingham Palace and Green Park and then watched the recaps all night long, remembering how cool it was to see it all happen and enjoy with all the London locals.

I also loved the fashion, ridiculous hats and kiss on the balcony(twice)...a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget!!

Princess For a Day,
