The Royal Wedding

I've just finished watching the Royal Wedding with our Kate and (a bit) with Jack. I wasn't particularly bothered about watching it live... until I awoke around 5:30 this morning and it dawned on me that someday Kate might ask why I didn't watch the wedding of her (future) queen & king. So she and I curled up on the couch and watched. (Well, I watched while she slept soundly in my arms):


As Mick pointed out, "it's probably a good thing she's sleeping through it; avoids the awkward questions from her about why she's English but isn't a princess."

Jack woke just as Kate & William were leaving Westminster Abbey and he was beyond thrilled to see all the horses. Here he is, along with his elephant Hip Hip, enthralled with the procession:


Here are a few of his comments from our viewing time together:

"I like the horseys, and the men with the funny hats on."
"I think the horses are going to turn left and go to Papa's house."
"Look! A band! I love that band!"

Jack: "Where are they going next?"
Me: "To the palace."
Jack: "And what are they going to do at the palace?"
Me: "Have some food."
Jack: "What kind of food?"
Me: "Hmmm, I'm not sure."
Jack: "I think they're going to have some pasta!"
