Now that I’m much more awake, I thought I’d talk more about the royal wedding.  I wasn’t all that into it, mostly because the amount of coverage going to it was insane, and I was really sick of it.  I did watch it, pretty much because I couldn’t sleep, and it was a nice distraction from everything going on in the world.  I was completely exhausted by the time I went to bed yesterday morning, because I had been up for nearly a day at that point.  At least I slept well.

Anyway, I loved Katherine’s dress- for the most part anyway.  I didn’t care for the lace. but overall it was a really pretty dress.  I didn’t care for the coverage before the wedding, so I attempted to sleep but I couldn’t, so I figured I might as well stay up.

Is it weird that I was bored?  I know people were all excited about it, but it’s a wedding.  Of a prince (with a bunch of other titles) to his college sweetheart who’s now a duchess of…somewhere.  I can’t keep track of all this duke and duchess and viscount and earl stuff, which means that I am going to have major issues when I get around to writing that historical fiction I’ve been researching.  Anyway, it was just a wedding of two people who just happen to be well-known.  Yes, it was nice to see, and yes, it was a nice distraction from everything else going on, but at the same time, why on earth are people so excited about it?  I.  JUST.  DON’T.  UNDERSTAND.

If only we had a DVR at my house.  Then I could have recorded it and watched it at a more reasonable hour.  But alas, I found myself awake for nearly 24 hours to watch a wedding.  My grandma was sad she missed it, but she ended up finding a replay of the wedding on some random station…and the commentators were translating everything into spanish, so she didn’t know what they were saying.  I guess she thought all the coverage started at 4 am, but didn’t get the whole 4 am on the east coast thing, so she ended up missing the entire wedding by a few minutes.

I have another funny story too!  My mom comes out into the family room wondering why me and my grandma are up so early, so I tell her we’re watching the wedding stuff.  My mom then asks me what channel it was on.

My response?

Pick one channel, any dang channel, and they’re probably showing the freakin’ wedding.  My mom’s like, okay, cool, and she wanders off.

Like, really?  It’s one of the biggest things to happen, ever, so like…hello.  Everyone’s going to be showing it.  Then again it was early, so she might not have been completely awake.

Have a great day everyone!
