Royal Wedding Fever

Did anyone see The Middle last week? The mom, Frankie, was obsessed with the Royal Wedding...While I am not that crazy about it (well..at least not yet) I do admit that I have Royal Wedding fever. I'm so, so excited for The Royal Wedding this week! I remember getting up while it was still dark to watch Dianna marry Charles (thank God we have DVR now so we don't have to do that) and ever since then I've been fascinated by The Royal Family. I remember being deathly ill at my BFF's parent's house in Ohio when Princess Diana died. So sad.

I think I'm also a little partial because Friday also happens to be my anniversary. How lucky for them that they will share an anniversary date with me and Paul!!

My plan is to DVR as much coverage as I can find. I'm not settled yet on which network I think will deliver the best coverage. Any thoughts? So, I'll DVR it all and I want to have a Royal Wedding Viewing Party that evening. Paul (fortunately for him??) will be away over the weekend with Lily (so sad that she will miss this) so it's just me and the other kiddos. I'm planning on serving all British-inspired food, tea and of course, cake. I'd like to dress up and wear a fancy hat or maybe my wedding veil(?) and I'm trying to encourage Emma to do the same but she's not quite on board with that yet. I'm also thinking that I may need to come up with a Royal Wedding inspired cocktail?

We'll see how all this comes together and if you live by me - feel free to come! The more the merrier!
