^^Recognize that monogram above? Happy Anniversary Wills & Kate!^^
^^In honor of such occasion, Monogram Monday is being taken over to
commemorate the Royal Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. We’ve
referenced
it before here, slightly alluding to, but to put it plainly- I'm a royal fanatic.
Two years ago, I woke up before the sun rose to have tea and scones (had
to do it British style!) and watched the event live with my mom.^^

^^I'll never forget the anticipation of waiting to see that first view
of Kate when she was leaving the hotel to get into the car with her father.
That first view of the future princess!^^

^^Everyone had been waiting to see what Kate’s dress would look like (and
find out who designed it—Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen). Pippa equally stunned as well, in that
formfitting dress that made her an international icon! Queen Elizabeth,
Carole Middleton, and other such attendees (Victoria Beckham! Elton John!) looked
their best as well, although I wasn't a fan of Princess Beatrice & Eugenie's attire.^^

^^From Harry’s “She looks beautiful” whisper that , to their first public
kiss on the balcony and William driving their getaway car out of the palace… little
moments that reminded us while they are the future King &Queen, they are
just like any other couple having the best day of their life.^^

^^Her last wave as a single gal and commoner! I mean her name is Catherine Elizabeth—so royal sounding
from the beginning!^^
^^Their first carriage ride was in the same carriage that William's parents, Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, used on their wedding day. Where do I get me one of these?^^
^^She had a second dress for the reception portion of the wedding later
that night. I loved the belt which
added some glamour and her fur bolero to combat that chilly British weather^^
^^The commemorative memorabilia!^^
^^I re-watched the entire event over and over again that day (and
probably the next week let's be real). I'm not scared to admit I own it
on DVD and easily call it the wedding of my generation. I have eagerly
been following the news about the future prince/princess that will come this
summer, although my guess is still in the air about boy or girl!^^
^^I'd love to throw an anniversary party of this occasion in the next
few years, have my girlfriends over in awesome hats for tea and a viewing of
the wedding again! Maybe when I'm not flying cross country (Hello from
somewhere between Portland and Phoenix!).^^

^^And couldn’t forget their engagement portraits. Could these be any cuter?!^^
What about you- did you watch the royal wedding? Any crazies out there
wake up to see it live like I did?
Feeling the royal fever?

Elissa
