Much to the delight of nearly everyone, albeit for different reasons, the highly anticipated Royal Wedding is here! This morning when we turned on the news I excitedly proclaimed something to the effect of “Thank You Kate Middleton for finally bringing class back into the bridal fashion industry!” while Ted exclaimed “Thank God this crap is finally over and we can stop hearing about it!” See, different reasons.
And this gorgeous dress? This beautiful veil?
Stunning, classy, and graceful. And that we could both agree on. I wouldn’t have expected her to walk into Westminster bare-armed, so the wrist-length lace sleeves with a plunging yet modest neckline and sweetheart bodice was a beautiful combination of traditional and modern. Channeling Grace Kelly? Always a good choice. I think we can all agree she looked lovely. Though I think it’s pretty clear I’ve been a fan of elegant gowns with sleeves and a few modern, standout details for quite some time now. Out with the overly-popular, hideous, strapless see-through numbers and in with the vintage classics with updated statement-making designs please!
Because I live in Ohio and all my friends live in Texas, I’m missing out a real party opportunity here. I’d have sent out lavishly-crafted and fancily-scripted invitations and, my friends and I, we’d gussy up in our own wedding dresses, veils, shoes, and jewelry (or previously-worn bridesmaid frocks) and dine on a scrumptious menu of tea with milk and sugar, scones with lemon curd and clotted cream, cucumber and egg salad sandwiches, champagne cupcakes, and lamb with mint jelly tortes, all served on fine china, while we watch a DVR’d recording of the blessed event. Alas, I live (friendless) in Cincy and they live (heat-struck) in San Antonio. Therefore, I’ll be settling (rough life, I know) for a Friday night of homemade Italian casserole, lawn-moving, bike riding, and re-runs of the Big Bang Theory and Modern Family with my Price Charming.
Though my wedding dress may or may not make a surprise appearance for a quick lap around the house tonight. Don’t judge.
Rain check for June, friends?
(Cue resounding “YES!” comments on this post. Do it.)
Are you coming in June?!?!? My wedding dress is still at my parents’. I will make sure I fit in it for this shindig. If the answer is yes, I’m at the gym tomorrow. If the answer is no, I should still be at the gym tomorrow. :-)
I also have my wedding china we can use.
Trying to come home in June! It’s a matter of working out flights. I’ll let you know as soon as I do. And yes, this shindig really should happen…I’m serious. Did anyone record it?
I didn’t record it. We can watch other wedding movies or something. We’ll make it work.
Agree with Kelley – what we watch matters less than what we wear. An excuse to act like little girls and dress up in our wedding dresses?? YES please! :) You guys are so fun.
