even royal weddings aren't perfect

The other night I watched Dateline NBC: Lady Di's Wedding Revisted.  Although I wasn't alive then, I've seen so many images of Charles and Diana's wedding over the past 30 years.  It was really interesting to hear the details of the royal wedding, and listen to interviews by the dress designers and even her littlest flower girl. 

If you missed it you can check out some clips here.

It's so hard to believe that Princess Diana was only 20 years old when she was married.  She had such poise and grace for her age, she truly was the people's princess.  I don't think I would have handled the pressure so well.

I loved this photo.  Not even royalty can snap a perfect group photo. 
Diana also messed up Prince Charles full name in her vows.
Charles Philip Arthur George...who could blame her?


Now looking on to Prince William and Kate's wedding, I wish that Diana were alive to see it.
April 29th, will you be watching?

I'm totally watching. And I am old, so I was alive when Diana and Charles were married. I was pretty little, but also a total nerd and I had cut all of these pictures out of my mom's magazine (I can't believe she let me have the scissors at that age. I must have sneaked them from the drawer?) and made this little scrapbook. This was before DVR and all, so I totally missed the wedding since I was getting my beauty sleep at that time of night. Anyway, back to the story - my babysitter a.k.a. the mean girl next door made me give her the scrapbook. Sad, right?
