The New Princess

While I didn't watch all of the coverage, I did get a little sucked into the Royal Wedding this morning. Princess Catherine and Prince William had a beautiful ceremony. I was a little girl of 5 years old when Princess Diana and Prince Charles got married, and I do remember that. But as a grown woman, a married woman, I appreciated this in a different sense.

Not so much the feeling of being a "princess" on your wedding day, because it all goes by so quickly, and what is really important is being a wife. But the fashion, the style, the music, the jewelry, the affection, the feeling of so many who come together...it all accumulates into something quite special. And most importantly, the love. They seem quite happy. The new Princess seems so much more self-assured and mature than Diana was when she was thrust into that position nearly thirty years ago, but of course she would be: there is a world of difference between 29 and 20.

Happy wedding day! (And PS: lots of truth here.)
