Only Five Days Left

In the midst of all the craziness dubbed "the wedding of the century," I find peace in this clutter of paparazzo obsession and souvenir influx. The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton has been one that the world has been waiting for, in hopes that this union can bring light to the fragile state of love in the Windsor family. In past years, there has been more divorces seen within this family than most likely seen in the average American family (though this assumption could quite possibly be wrong, seeing that the average divorce rate in America is sadly at 50%). William and Kate, I believe, is going to prove this family curse wrong, because of their long-term commitment and honest display of affection over the past ten years. Now, in this day and age, this royal love story will be one to prove that they represent the new generation of the "average couple" and set a new standard amongst royal families across Europe, especially in the House of Windsor. But in these next five days, the focus will not only be on them, but on the "material aspect" of the wedding - everything from the guest list to the ever important dress, all eyes will be on London, England this upcoming Friday.

I started this blog as a way to pass time until the big day of the royal wedding. Of course just about every channel on TV is doing some sort of coverage on the royal wedding - from predictions of how everything will play out to throwbacks of the infamous wedding of Diana and Charles. I do enjoy watching these TV specials, but in all honesty, they tend to show the same story and interview the same people over and over again. As a budding magazine major and a typical girl obsessed with weddings, I felt that doing this blog would be a great start to furthering my career. And why not start with the wedding of century?! Here, I hope to put my input and take on the royal wedding, and give my opinion on how this wedding compares in the modern age. The royal family has always fascinated me (heck, they inspired to start my riding career!) and the pomp and circumstance is just so regal and beautiful on its own. I absolutely cannot wait to wake up at 4 AM on Friday, April 29, 2011 and turn on my TV to watch something the world rarely gets to see in a century. But until then, tune in to see how I think this show is going down and my predictions about the event itself. TALLY HO!
