I admit it. I woke up at 4:30 in the morning to watch the royal wedding. I mostly did it because my mom told me that she got up and watched Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s wedding with her mother, and how could I not feel guilty for saying no after that? But to be honest, I was really excited to see Katharine’s dress, and not just because it was a “royal” wedding dress. I just like wedding dresses. Period. It’s a very good thing that I don’t have cable television because I would spend all of my spare time (and a lot of time that isn’t “spare”) watching those dumb wedding shows like Say Yes to the Dress and My Fair Wedding. Because I, like many females, am obsessed with weddings. I am obsessed not with my own possible future wedding (though that’s a big part of it!) but with any wedding. Because a wedding has everything that a true girly-girl loves – an excuse to dress up, flowers, music, good food, love.
Someone tweeted “The Royal Wedding: it's like a Steve Jobs Keynote, but for girls...” I found this to be so true. Yes, I think the ipad is really cool. No, I do not want to tune in to listen to Steve Jobs’ presentation about it. But I have lots of male friends who would! Yes, I think the royal wedding is cool. Yes, I will get up at 4:30 in the morning to watch it. But I have lots of male friends (I think all of them) who wouldn’t!
So, yes, I’m one of those girls who already has her wedding dress picked out, knows what color and style dress she wants her bridesmaids to wear, has the flowers picked out, and a mother who has decided what photographer we’re going to use. Yes, I’m obsessed. But it makes me smile.
Keep on singing,
Your mother already knows what photographer she wants to use!!
