Just last night I went into World Market to buy culinary lavender for my scones. When the clerk glanced down at my items, she said, "Ooh, are you having a royal wedding party?" All I could do was shrug, giggle and say, "Um, yes."
I feel kind of foolish about it, maybe a little girlish, too, but I just can't help it! Diana was married two days after my 7th birthday--the perfect age for a little girl to be enamored with princesses and weddings.
I remember it so vividly. We lived in San Francisco and watched it on T.V. the following morning. For months after, I played Diana. I took my Strawberry Shortcake bedspread, gathered it around my neck and walked down our stairs, pretending it was my wedding train trailing behind me. I played tennis outside pretending I was on my honeymoon. I'm not sure if she played tennis on her honeymoon, but apparently that's what I thought people did on their honeymoons. I called myself Princess Jenny.
My girls are 5 and I want them to have just as much fun with this as I did when I was a girl.
A friend of mine sent me the link to this site with lots of fun royal wedding ideas for kids. I adore these Princess Kate paper dolls with Disney princess outfits!
Do you have any royal wedding plans or are you thoroughly annoyed by all the hype?

Such sweet happy memories from your childhood :-)
I can't get up that early and then function the rest of the day so lift a flute for me!
I will definitely be watching...the little girl in me cannot HELP it! The new princess shares my name! :)
You win cutest sister award. Hands down.
The scone recipe is beyond good. I didn't use the lavendar but exchanged it for craisins. Moist and delicious...thank you!
I didn't even know there was a wedding until I read this post yesterday! I watched some clips off youtube! My boys didn't care and my little princess isn't old enough to understand yet. Your funny! Everything looks nice and I'll be trying the scones!
