wedding tears

Published by: karen on 29th Apr 2011 | View all blogs by karen
Well, I've just watched Kate Middleton getting out of the car in her wedding dress and I'll admit it doesn't take much to make me shed a tear but this really is the stuff of fairy tales, isn't it?  In my humble opinioin she is a delightful, charming, beautiful, intelligent young woman, who knows exactly what she's doing and what she's letting herself in for and I'm delighted to see a fairy tale unfolding.  There's a lot of cynicism out there in the world, not least from me but I think this is wonderful. 

After the year I've had, losing my Mum in February, I find myself shedding tears of wistfulness, partly watching that beautiful young woman starting out on a new journey, partly because my Mum isn't here to watch it with me and partly, very selfishly, wishing for my own magical moment which right now, seems so very far away.

But today is Kate and William's day and as a happily married woman for nearly thirty years, I wish them much happiness and laughter.  I am lucky enough to be going to London later today for my own special treat, with my own lovely daughter t0 see the play Warhorse (tissues needed) and a pre-theatre dinner at Michel Roux's restaurant and I will be raising a glass and making my own silent toast to the young couple.

    Yes, a beautiful wedding Karen and the couple are so obviously happy together. The avenue of trees in the Abbey was a stunner.

    Warhorse, I hear is amazing. I'm sure you'll enjioy it. Have a great evening.

    Have a wonderful time, Karen. Warhorse the book made both Fiona and I cry buckets (as did Private Peaceful), and so I guess a box of tissues is a wise precaution.
