LE mariage

OK OK I give in, I think I have to do a post on LE wedding.  I might have let it slip by, barely audible, but since I have actually received an  invitation (!),    I have decided to let my inner patriotic british roots shout out, .....here we go;  a not always reverent  homage to what should be a glorious day.




The totally splendid and rather  flowery - so british -  wedding cake will
be made by a very happy lady  called Fiona




We hope that the very blue engagement ring that Kate wears since
November may not be a bad omen,  it was passed down
from the grooms mother,  no more said .........




While Kate's humble ancestry has been bared to the world,  
I think that any girl who can face the thought of walking down this runway 
with millions watching her world wide, deserves immediate respect, 




And my invite?  I'm sure you're wondering ..... Well I don't have to travel as far as the Abbey, since I have been invited to watch it live on satellite TV,  at the home of a British friend here in Normandy. We shall sip champagne, nibble on cucumber sandwiches , drink tea and probably shed a royal tear.  I may even wear a hat !




Just when we thought the days of patriotism truly gone, 
it seems  we still enjoy the sight of this eternally fashionable flag

  1. I got an invite too! I'll be watching at a friend's house, who will be having a wedding breakfast, since here in Canada, it will be in the wee hours of the morning! I love me a good wedding!

    BTW, that cake is stunning. Cakes have come such a long way since my own nuptials!

  5. Dearest Sharon,

    We will have a double celebration as it is also Pieter's birthday... A memorable day that's for sure. Hope all goes smooth that day for the wedding; no surprises.

    Lots of love,

    Mariette

  6. I'm with Enchanted Home, I want a piece of that cake!!! Love your invite. The wedding airs at 2 am here in Seattle. We girls have been toying in with the idea of a Royal Wedding slumber party, but it might make the work day a little challenging come 8 am Friday morning. Wish we in the States got a celebratory three-day weekend, too!

  7. You'll have a lot of fun at the wedding, I can tell. I hope to be sound asleep, but you can be sure that as soon as I awaken, I'll have the television on to see the reruns.

    Enjoy the tea and cucumber sandwiches!

  8. I don't think I'll be awake either for the royal wedding. Sounds like you have a great plan for viewing it though. Have you seen this spoof?

  9. Here in Canada I will be asleep I hope. I can't imagine living amongst all the hype for the wedding. Life under a microscope will always show bugs.

  11. It'll be a party of four (me and three cats) at my house in the wee hours (4 a.m. in Minnesota the live coverages starts!)

    Maybe I'll get scones and tea to help me stay awake...

  17. What a pretty cup! All the commemorative "stuff" I have seen in the US news has been tacky, tacky, tacky, but that is pretty. worth having, even. Enjoy your luncheon. Altho it will be very early here, I have to been at work and will miss it all. But then that's why we have recording!
