#Microblog Monday 195: Royal Wedding

We watched. ChickieNob and I slept at my parent’s house (because we always watch royal events with my mother) and woke up at 4 am to watch the wedding. This required a lot of coffee.
(Here is the ChickieNob’s take. And I got a photo credit!)
I cried when William and Harry walked into the church because Harry looked so nervous and William looked so reassuring. I cried when I saw Meghan in the car with her mother. I lunged and grabbed the ChickieNob when they kissed outside. And I sang along to “Stand By Me.”
I thought the best part was the carriage ride through Windsor.
Did you watch? What did you think?

I watched with my girls. (Side note – I love that you slept over so you could watch with your mom.) We loved it! They looked so genuinely happy and in love. And her mom… oh. My heart. Even though we were so tired later it was so worth it just to watch the love and joy for a few hours.
I watched a few hours later on BBC America. I got verklempt a few times. I was remembering the 2 weddings in the 80s with Diana and Fergie (I wrote to Fergie and got a response). I was thinking with the 2 weddings in the 20-teens, we’ll now have to wait another 20-30 years for another. Love that you watched with your mom and your daughter!
I did not watch but read a few news online. I know the world watched and followed it. It was big.
We watched. (My daughter-in-law and I are both so smitten with the Royal Family). It was everything we thought it would be and more. We made a little tea party of our own with lots of tea, cucumber sandwiches, and scones. It’s something we’ll always remember.
We wish them a wonderful life together!
I would have been interested in watching but I wasn’t aware of it until the day of when a bunch of people on my facebook newsfeed posted about it. By then it was too late. And taking care of infant twins means there is no time to sit and watch TV. I saw a few pictures and thought her dress was beautiful.
I didn’t, but love that you ladies did! Sounds like a very sweet memory with your mom and daughter!
I did not watch. For one thing, I won’t get up before dawn for many things, and for another, we were out of state on vacation. But I’ve now seen most of the highlights on social media. I thought her dress was lovely, and I am happy for them. 🙂
Yes, I watched, but then we are Brits living in the UK. Beautiful ceremony (loved the sermon and the music), lovely bride, and great crowd. I cried, and I don’t ever remember doing that at a royal wedding. Partly the memory of that little boy walking behind his mum’s coffin, now so happy and in love.
I didn’t watch either, but have been reading all the recaps (I love ChickieNobs) and scrolling through the photos. It was a beautiful wedding and both Harry and Meghan should feel proud of creating such a beautiful and forward-thinking event (sidenote: I would have been beyond nervous for doing what they did).
I wrote a post about the wedding… not my #MM post (above, though! 😉 Here’s a link to the wedding post:

Yes, I watched. It was perfect Saturday night viewing here. Loved it.
I didn’t watch, but did go forth and ogle picture of all the wedding finery/clothing. 13 years out from my wedding and I’m still a sucker for looking at wedding photos!
Oh, I missed most of it! I did see a bit on the TV in D.C. when I was waiting for security to come out and do the incident report from when the elevator tried to kill me (a story for another time). It was when they were coming out of the church and it was GORGEOUS! I love Chickie Nob’s take on the event, and the cake and photo credit. And the sleepover! What wonderful traditions. I loved her dress and the simplicity, and the obvious love there. Ahhhhh, royal weddings!
The day after the Royal wedding was a gorgeous day and I headed out to a park to lounge about and enjoy the sun. I was actually approached by a columnist to ask my opinions about the royal wedding, to which I said – nope- didn’t watch it!! My friend who was with me had also not watched. The columnist was shocked and really tried to get us excited in it but to no avail. I feel like Emma Thompson on this one – yes, sure, I wish them well, as much as anyone else who choses to get married… but hey, I don’t know them… I really don’t care!
I missed it, but I’ve been scoping all the pics and commentary online.
I really had no interest but ended up watching because my husband and I happened to be up. I loved the fact that with all of these over-the-top Hollywood extravaganza weddings with every woman trying to be a princess, here was a real royal wedding that was just a very personal beautiful event. A divorced biracial non British subject older than her groom in the royal family? What an historic day!
