My friend Russell's amazing handiwork.
Anyone who follows me on Twitter will know that my favourite thing ever is watching rubbish telly and being mean about it. So, imagine my excitement about the Royal Wedding! I was going to watch it with friends! And wine! And be mean!
And I did all those things, of course, but here's the real twist - I SECRETLY ENJOYED THE ENTIRE THING. The dress! So classy, although okay, maybe a touch matronly, and really, Kate, I think you should have a sandwich. The outfits! Oh, Bea. Why are there tentacles coming out of your forehead? Oh, Queen. No one else can pull off head to toe yellow like you can. Bravo. The family reunions! What on earth did the Queen say to Camilla to make her look so crestfallen? Isn't Kate's brother ATTRACTIVE? Oh and everything else - plus ALL THE CUTE TIMES WILLS AND KATE SMILED AT EACH OTHER AWWW THEY ARE IN LOVE.

Finger sandwiches! And wine at 10am! Oh my!
The cupcakes were designed to look like the RING! How awesome is that?
Hooray! Pimms forever!
We then watched the Lifetime movie about William and Kate's amazing and boring love affair, which was dreadful, yet still somehow amazing. In short, it was the best day ever. Until my body decided to remind me, at about 10pm, that I'd been drinking for around ten hours and really couldn't handle that any more. I think I may still be hungover.
What did you get up to? And will YOUR liver, like mine, never recover from all the hearty, hearty patriotism?
I watched it on the tele too and was completely transfixed from beginning to end. I really only wanted to see what the dress was like and see the balcony kiss, but I went Twitter-mental as well. Have posted today about some of the rather hideous outfits on show. x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant brilliant brilliant! We did exactly the same, with as much awe and mockery as we could muster! And yep, my liver is still feeling slightly delicate!
ReplyDeleteHaha I like watching tele and being mean about it too :] Lovely post sounds like you had a great day!

I love this post x 100 and am envious of your day of alcohol and cupcakes with friends! Although as I had the tissues out when she came down and he told her she looked beautiful, I am not really fit for public occasions *sigh* defs had the Pimm's out though! x
ReplyDeleteYour little tweets throughout the Wedding kept me thoroughly entertained! She did look beautiful and looks like you had a brilliant day! The cupcakes are UNREAL!
ReplyDeleteHaha this post really made me laugh. Your friend Russell seems like a funny chap! The list about how long the marriage will last made me laugh. I watched the entire thing too, I thought it was so lovely. Your little Royal Wedding feast looked good! Wish I'd had wine and engagement ring style cupcakes! xxx
ReplyDeleteWe were trying to be sensible and saved the food till after the ceremony. Probably not quite so sensible to neck several Kir Royales during the ceremony - I turned into drunken, greedy Alex and ate so much I had to spend the afternoon lying around groaning. Fun though!
ReplyDeleteThe feast looks yummy! So jealous! We spent the entire bank holiday (and the last one) working, working, working!! Have enjoyed reading what everyone's been upto - and your weekend looked like it was a fun one! xxx
ReplyDeleteI watch the whole thing and loved it so much! Kate looked amazing. And looking at hats was such a high light!!
ReplyDeleteThe cupcakes looks delicious!
Excellent.
ReplyDeleteYour tweets were pretty special that day too lady!
Hehe I had an anti wedding tea party and BBQ but ended up kind of engrossed in the whole thing (not the singing bit though)... Any excuse for gin at 10am. And it turns out that I'm a bit of a sucker for romance!
