WEDDING DAY!
Congratulations to the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!
For so many people of the older generations, one of the greatest weddings of all time was the wedding between Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Now, it's our turn.
Dressed in a elegant, timeless gown, Kate Middleton walked down the asle of Westminster Abbey and around about 1hr later, walked out as the Duchess of Cambridge, married to the very much loved Prince William!
I support the Royal Family and believe they remind us that there are times where one must show exceptional grace and poise. In an age where politicians berate each other with petty insults, the gracious manners of the British Royal Family (of course, excluding the partying versions of Prince Harry and William) play an important role in educating people that there are many ways to win the hearts of a country --not just through defaming others.
Call them a waste of tax-money if you like, but I don't really think that all that money would end up being spent on things that need them even if you did remove the Royals from 'power'. Call them out-dated if you like, but I like to think of them as a wonderful legacy left by the Kings and Queens past that shaped the world as it is now. These days some people think good manners is an out-dated concept, that doesn't mean they're right and it doesn't mean we don't need good manners.
As a person with a deep, deep love of the history of British Monarchs, watching the wedding today was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC.
My grandchildren will be hearing of this!
