One of the great regrets of my life so far is that I did not get to see the inside of Westminster Abbey when Mama and I did our grand tour of Great Britain in 2005. As our focus was on Ireland, we only had one day in London and could not fit a visit in.

There was much discussion of the Royal wedding at work today amongst the girls - with everyone agreeing they would not want to be Kate Middleton, except for the day. Being fond of hats, I was particularly enamoured of the truly MAD hats and the fascisnators - especially Princess Beatrice's very unique (being kind) headpiece, apparently inspired by Lovecraft's Cthulhu.
As we reviewed the footage on CNN and MSN and You Tube (whilst getting our work done, of course), apart from the first breathtaking glimpse of the simply stunning dress, the following moment was my favorite:
THIS is England. Brought a tear to me eye it did. God save the Queen and the Monarchy. Perhaps this couple will help.
