It is fun!

We are setting alarm for 4 am. We're nuts. We have the tea-but no cookies. bummer.

Somewhere in England, trying to sleep, a young woman is about to become a princess with all of the duties that will bring. NO longer a commoner-but a part of the royal legacy tomorrow (or today, if in England!) ( Those duties were never listed in the fairy tales, lol)

And likewise a prince, tomorrow, is going to be making his bride a princess and a future queen, as well. Just imagine what is swirling around in their minds.

But I already love them because they had the good sense to invite those they REALLY WANTED to attend. That, of course, excluded the uhbamas.

If they were going, I might not have even wanted to watch this event like I do right now. I know, that's pathetic. But whatchagonnado.

Thank you for this invaluable schedule, Liz!

Wow! The fake "Wills" has more hair than the real one, though... ;-)

True love .. hope, hope, hope

(I loathe detest Charles and Camilla .. beyond craven monsters .. for what they did to Diana. May blood-thirsty mosquitos crawl up her skirt and make a permanment, happy home there.)

There was a report that William is going to refer to his dear Mother in the ceremony .. we shall see.

Long live Wills and Kate and their love !

Spent the better part of a half hour reading what today held for the couple; the parade route tomorrow; hymns to be sung, the vows to be exchanged, etc.

I haven't prepared properly for the Big Event. Where have you found all this great info, Lady StarFan? ;-)

How cute they were...remember Charles used to call William—Wills the Wombat? I’ve always adored little Harry.

He’w trying on a morning suit etc etc.... she a sarie.

We’re fondly thinking of you this evening. How exciting for you to have a new princess, a beautiful one at that.

Oh, the NY Post, Liz’ source above... of course! Thank you, Miss Didi and Liz. Darn, I should have picked up a print version of the NY post earlier today...

What is your Royal Wedding guest name? Start with either Lord or Lady. Your first name is one of your grandparents names. Your surname is the name of your first pet, double-barreled with the name of the street you grew up on. Have fun!

Loosely basing my Royal Wedding name on the above formula...

Lady Elizabeth Demitasse of Huckleberry

Demitasse or "Demi" was actually my sister's cat!
