Who's Going to Watch the Wedding?

[Basketlady]

DD and I are planning to get up and watch the Royal Wedding on Friday morning. Mom and I got up and watched Charles and Diana get married and I remember it being really magical. I was only a year older than DD.

We are having tea and scones and maybe a rasher of bacon. It's going to be a long day for us!

Anyone else watching?

[craftygirl]

I am definitely watching. I may have to record it and watch later. I will be seeing it at some point in the day though. Can't wait. Oh, and I think I need my tiara. I will make my boys "Hail to the Queen" all day. Now I am even more excited!

Don't forget the Hello Kitty tiara! I'm pretty sure I need to get all dudded up for the event. DD has several tiaras in her dress up trunk and I know there is a feather boa in there as well! She will roll her eyes, but I love to bug the kids like that!

[craftygirl]

Oh sure, spill the beans, that my tiara is a "Hello Kitty" tiara. I don't care, I think it still demands plenty of respect, befitting a Queen! I will wear a boa too. Great idea! I am sure the boys will roll their eyes. I enjoy doing that to my kids too. I figure it makes up for all the stuff they said in public when they were toddlers.

See, Crafty Girl does like **PINK** And Hello Kitty!

Yep, my kids (esp DS) embarrassed the heck out of me when they were young. I'm just repaying the favor. And I tell them that all the time! If they act up now, I just threaten to show up at the bus stop in my pjs. Straightens them right up!

I'm going to watch it but am taping it to watch at a decent hour.

[craftygirl]

Oh, Karen,
You have a Diana tiara, that trumps my pink, plastic "Hello Kitty) tiara!

Enjoy!

Ladies, this all sounds like loads of fun!! Please post some pictures of yourselves in your royal garb. ;D I am so NOT an early AM person, and with us driving to NC tomorrow, I'll be getting my beauty rest, but I'm thinking I'll DVR it... Gail

[Basketlady]

Drive safely, Gail!

Karen, I want pictures! I have the bacon done, the lemon curd made and the scones mixed up. I just need to add the buttermilk tomorrow and then bake them. Yum!

[luv2scrap]

I won't be watching the wedding. I did watch Charles and Diana's wedding but I have lost a great deal of respect for the British Royal Family. I so wish them much luck and a wonderful life together.

[Karen W]

Well my tiara is all sparkly and ready for me to wear.

I promise a picture.

I told Rose to wake me when she gets up to feed Mikey. Cant miss a royal wedding

My hubby just gave me a blank DVD and asked me to program the DVD recorder for 4:00 am EST for the wedding!

[Basketlady]

Well, evidently DD was too excited. She got me up at 5:15 am. Mom! We're missing the wedding! She couldn't wait until 5:45 to get up.

They are in the carriage on the way back to the palace now. It was a lovely wedding and the dress is quite simple.

ok, so the recipe for the scones! did you put the lemon curd recipe there as well>? i haven't gone to look, just so the post!
i am bad....... i did not get up, even though i was wide awake so i probably should have!!!! but they are airing it again this afternoon and i have it timed for then ;D
one of the schools that danny works with is over there on their highschool europe trip and had tickets to hyde park to see the wedding!!!!! hope they share lots of pics! i do think that will have been a once in a lifetime thing for the kids
can't wait to see how you all dressed up i havae my scottie pj's on!! does that count?

[Basketlady]

I had my snowman pjs on--and my tiara. ;D DD hid the one I was going to wear, (she was embarrassed! ) But I found her Little Mermaid tiara--the joke is on her!

I'll put the lemon curd recipe up. It's really not lemon curd, but that's what we call it. And it's simpler than real lemon curd. It makes a wonderful dessert over shortbread flats or in mini tarts topped with a single raspberry. It's super yummy!

I'm way behind, just got finished watching the Wedding. What a lovely wedding. I teared up, thinking as a Mom, it was sad his mom wasn't there. Some of his facial expressions are so much like Diana. Those are 2 very handsome young men her and Prince Charles have. But could we discuss some of those crazy hats, lol.
Vicki

[Basketlady]

Those hats! Did you see the one Beatrice was wearing? She couldn't even sit up straight in the car back to Buckingham Palace!

And then Eugenie--I think even the Queen wouldn't wear a frock that frumpy. It didn't flatter her a bit.

[vicki7]

I heard somebody say that at least her hat had holes in it in case you were seated behind her you could see through them,lol. And Victoria Beckham, how did that hat stay on her forehead, lol. But swoon, her hubby, he looked sooooo good!

thanx michelle i shall go and check you lemon recipe out as i made hubby a lemon cheesecake for his bd and i don't htink it is quite lemony enough so that might make the purrrfect topping! )
and i didn't get up / but i did watch it later in the day and was sorry for not getting up / but it started at 1 am here.........
they made a beautiful couple!

[crazy4pink]

I finally watched a bit of it last night. They really look happy. Her mom looked a bit concerned or maybe just nervous for what is ahead for her daughter.
