oh yes I did.

I got up at 130am on Friday, April 29, 2011, to watch these two lovely people get married.

I may not know them in real life, and probably never will, but for a few early hours, I sat and watched them promise their lives to each other.  It was such a fairytale moment, in my mind, that a girl has found her prince.

I never saw the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana (don't stone me for that one), but I was glad I watched the wedding of Prince William and Catherine.  I loved that they had trees inside Westminster Abbey, I loved that William didn't see Catherine until the moment she was next to him, I LOVED seeing the princes in the car on the way to the Abbey (hello Harry!!), and I was especially excited to see Catherine exiting the car and revealing her beautiful gown.

I kept repeating William's full name to myself (William Arthur Phillip Louis), thanking God that I didn't have to worry about that when I married Mike.  How many names can one person have?  I was curious to know Harry's full name (Henry Charles Albert David) and whether or not they had a last name (Mountbatten-Windsor).

You can say I spent a good deal of time this weekend reading up on many things royal :)

I watched both the wedding itself and various recaps quite a bit over the course of Friday and Saturday.  More times that I could count.  Hearing their accents as they said their vows, they way they looked at each other and the not one, but two kisses on the Palace balcony.

In other big news, Osama Bin Laden is dead.  That's all I have to say about that.

Must get dressed now.  I want to go pick up a commerative royal wedding magazine if I can find one!
