Royal Wedding! - April 29th

The day of the Royal Wedding was a magical one...mostly because we had the day off and the weather was tolerable in the morning, turning to sunshine in the evening.  I woke up in time to see the procession of royals, famous people, politicians (can we please talk about the fact that Sam Cam didn't have a hat on!?), and finally her royal hottness (as they have taken to calling Pippa) and Kate.

I thought Kate looked absolutely amazing if not a tiny bit too skinny.  But she looked every bit the royal and was absolutely stunning and classy!  After watching on my couch while drinking some coffee, and then scolding my flatmate for stumbling down in the last ten minutes (me: I hope you realize you just missed the biggest even of the year.  him: oh ..yeah..I suppose I did.  oops).

Before "the kiss" I got ready and headed up to my friend's Royal Wedding BBQ in cockfosters (tee hee).  It was basically like one of those really great, chill bbq's where all of a sudden it's pitch black and you are all feeling a little tipsy but you don't even know where the day went because you've had so much fun!

However, after two 4 day weekends in a row, my 27 year old body was aching.  I had too much fun and my body was punishing me for it.  So the first week back to work after the second bank holiday resulted in me being in bed at a responsible hour for four days in a row.  I don't think I can handle two four day weekends in a row again.
