I was watching a clip tonight from the wonderful musical, Royal Wedding, with Jane Powell and Fred Astair, and I realized I should probably do a little post about the Royal Wedding of our day, starring William and Kate. I don't think there will ever be anyone like princess Diana (I slipped a pic of her in here too), there was something very special about her...like the Audrey Hepburn of the royals, sweet and genuine. But, Kate and William are quite a lovely couple, and somehow also seem more real as a couple then Charles and Diana, and it was a treat for me to be here as the festivities of the big day took place! I was not quite as gung ho as my flatmates, who went down to Westminster Abbey to catch a glimpse of the beautiful couple at 6am in the morning, but I did dash down to a nearby pub in Hampstead around 11 when the ceremony was happening. I arrived just in time to see Kate walking down the aisle in her classic gown, which I thought was perfect for the occasion. It was fun to be see all the Flags and fanfare all over London working up to the big day in late April. I added the clip from Royal Wedding of Jane Powell singing one of my favorite songs from the movie...she's just so adorable! I also found this really touching clip of Judy Garland singing the same song....it's heartbreaking. You can just feel the emotion and sadness in her voice. What a tragic but beautiful lady...
