The Royal Wedding

 Outside Westminster Abbey


Though I commend all who camped out for a spot, I fought the urge to stay in and watch all the guests arriving on the big screen forcing myself to turn off the TV and get out the door... so I got to Westminster about 20 minutes before the now Duchess of Cambridge was due to arrive. Fortunate to get as close as I did, I was not able to see anything because of my height and fear that getting too close would result in physical safety as I so tested. But here is an essence of the atmosphere just before. I'm sure you heard the church bells on TV, but to hear them in the streets was really moving...

Once the wedding was in progress, I crammed into the doorway of this tiny pub to see the vows exchanged.

Ladies, wasn't the Duke of Cambridge so sincere in his vows... his eyes and voice only focused on Kate in those moments? Truly romantic... With Royal Weddings only happening decades apart, to see one of sincere love and warmth between the two, made this historical event really something to celebrate, and you could feel the happiness throughout all of London and I presume the rest of the world judging by the media coverage. Refreshing to see positive media coverage for once amidst all other current affairs.

Here is the church bells 20 minutes before wedding...
