I set my alarm for 2:45 CST yesterday so that I would be awake for 3:00AM to catch every moment of the big wedding day. It was like a storybook come to life. I cried when I saw William. I could only think of his mother and how he must have missed her that day. I hope all of you mommies gave your little girl the opportunity to watch the prince marry his princess as I watched Diana marry Charles when I was just eleven years old. A little girl never forgets a real life fairy tale.
Weeks before the wedding I was commisioned to paint a child's rocker for my cousin Lee who is expecting her first baby. My mother and sister let me choose a theme. Knowing my cousin, i knew that a royal wedding rocker for her precious one would send her over the moon. She loves London and like I, has always been a sucker for anything fairy tale. My mother and sister gave it to her today. We all had tears. Lee doesn't know if it's a boy or a girl, so cousin ellie couldn't use the pink like she really, REALLY would have liked!!!
There's a birdie flying a banner over Buckingham Palace thanking the Royals for the "free day off". Lee was in London last month and had seen this everywhere on t-shirts and the like. On the back of the rocker there's the "get-away" car. Not the Aston that they actually drove off in...but, how could I have known! Catherine and Will (in navy blue uniform and not the red that he wore) are on the balcony waving to the crazy crowd below. There is a game of "London Bridge" and a guard taking advantage of his day off! There's a turtle serving tea and a goosey with a basket of goodies. There are beefeater monkeys and a a bear friend, too. There are frog princes wating for kisses and an old chap of a pig shocked at the misbehavior of the guard hanging from the gate.
I hope, I hope that one day, i will get to see another heir to the throne marry a princess.
