An exciting day

queen-victoria-wedding-dress-winterhalter

Now it's no secret to those who know me that I'm a wee bit obsessed with Royalty. In particular the British Royal family. Over the years I have immersed myself into their history and have now become a walking encyclopedia on the Monarchy....sad I know. And like so many others I am super-dooper excited to watch the wedding of William and Catherine this evening. I have avoided the television and all the speculation of "what will she wear?" or  "What flowers will they have?" It drives me batty! I want everything to be a surprise. Instead I have been surfing the net admiring the wedding dresses of past Royal brides. Above is a lovely image of Queen Victoria. She looks so pretty with her crown of orange blossoms. We can also thank her for the "white dress".

I  can't wait to see what Catherine has chosen to wear.  I'm sure it will be beautiful :)

It will be an exciting day- I love this beautiful portrait you've chosen today- wonderful. I'll have to watch wedding when I get back from work but have posted some fun royal bits up on my own blog.
Enjoy it!
