O.K. Try it! Just take a deep breath...inhale and say 'Kate' nice and slow, then exhale and say 'William'. Alternatively, you can inhale with William and exhale with Kate. It doesn't matter really - the results will be the same. It is going to produce a deep, peaceful and jubilant feeling in your heart. Some people will want to jump up and down like chimps on a tree and that's fine too. Others will have the urge to go out and buy imitation sapphire engagement rings and blue dresses and Hats! Yes Kate has brought a headiness back to hats. Long overdue I should think. It is wonderful to see the whole wide world SO happy and I am no exception. My clock is set for 2.00 a.m. and I will join the millions of Royalists around the world as we live the dream, every ounce of pleasure will be extracted, consumed with champagne and the Queen's favourite brew of tea - produced especially for the occasion. What's not to love about Love? Ching Ching Ching.
The army will be out on the streets of London roaring "What do we want?" and the crowds will reply "LOVE...WE WANT LOVE". This will go on for about an hour until the happy couple appear. Cynics will be thrown in the Tower of London. Some may be hanged... but that's o.k. too. They should have known better than to open their big wide mouths and splutter profanities such as Kate's mother - the future mother-in-law of the King - is a steely eyed opportunist who sent her daughter to the same college as William, with the sole intention of hooking a Prince. She told her daughter "It has to be a Prince, Kate - nothing more - nothing less". So what? Being the obedient daughter that she is, she caught him. She reeled him in with that black fishnet of a dress. Apparently the sight of Kate in the fishnet dress excited the Prince SO much, an onlooker from that fateful night observed "his eyes almost popped from their sockets, and his visage turned a bright rosy hue". The rest is history... that 'little black number' sealed the deal.
Who doesn't LOVE a love story. I don't know about you, but I simply cannot get enough of t.v. programs like 'Say Yes to the Dress', 'Rich Bride Poor Bride' and movies such as 'Four Weddings' 'The Wedding Planner' and 'Muriel's Wedding'. The list goes on. And every little girl HAS to have a Bride Barbie. What is it about Weddings? What I find SO disturbing is that Weddings have taken over from Marriage. Completely. The marriage end of things has become far less important and really gets in the way of the Wedding planning. It must be So annoying for a bride and groom to have to waste valuable menu planning time to attend pre-marriage courses where they discuss boring things such as finance and marital expectations, etc. Marriages have become all about 'The Wedding' and less about the 'other stuff'. Once upon a time only virgins could wear white because it symbolized purity, but that's all 'old fashioned nonsense'. Now even the Bride's children can wear white. It's a free world - but is it a happier world? You tell me.
I remember 16 years ago when I lived in Fort McMurray, I went to a photo studio to get my baby's photo taken. I was enthralled at all the MAGNIFICENT wedding photos decorating the walls. Many of them could hold their own with a Royal wedding. As I waited for my turn to see the photographer, the Receptionist, a large jolly woman with a deep belly laugh said to me "See that one" pointing to the Wedding of the Year Couple "That wedding cost $45.000 and they never even came back to collect their photos!" "What?" I exclaimed "Why?" 'Because they never made it past the honeymoon ha ha ha" she laughed, thinking it was hilarious. Nothing ha ha about that I thought to myself. "Those ones split up after six months" she said pointing to another couple's photo. She knew each couple as if they were her own children. For a minute I thought I was in a morgue. There was something deeply sad about all this. Call me a foolish romantic but I believe in old fashioned love stories. The ones that end with "and they lived happily ever after".
That's why I highly recommend you go and see 'Jane Eyre'. I went last Sunday and the pleasure it gave me far exceeded all the chocolate eggs. It was two hours of slow, delicious 'true romance'. I was glued to the screen and Kevin remarked "I can see you are in your element". He knows me. Call me 'Old Fashioned' but I truly believe each of us has a soul-mate out there waiting for us...But you have to defer gratification... and not put the cart before the horse. You have to keep the carrot of romance dangling for your Mr. Darcy, just like Elizabeth did, just like Jane Eyre did and then you'll never again hear men spitting "Why buy a cow when you can have the milk for free ha ha..."
Can't wait to see Kate's dress tomorrow...!!
Enjoy the Wedding of the Century.
Love,
