The Royal Wedding ~



I took both of these photos from both of my TV's (had two different channels going in separate rooms!) as I watched the Royal Wedding . . .the photo below did this all on it's own (I did zero editing . . . as the scene was changing, I must have caught it at the right time)! I was very surprised how well it came out. Out of 161 photos, only seven came out clear and worth posting here. You can tell what I was doing all morning . . . hey, it's history in the making!


Well I admit it, I am a Royal Family buff . . . I have always loved just about anything regarding the Royal Family and the British Monarchy history. It is said that I am related to King George and King Henry VIII, but that is not the only reason I have always had an interest in this family . . . I just think the history is fascinating. I have watched  Showtimes: The Tudors Series. It's very "racy" but I watched it anyway and when I followed the Tudor family tree and read the history on the Official British Monarchy site, the series was very true to their family history. One hundred years from now, this wedding will be such wonderful part of the Royal Family's history. . . that's the family historian in me! It was a beautiful wedding.

  1. Wow Gini...these came out great! I have not watched any of it. I should I suppose. I do think they make a handsome couple. Yes, history in the making!

  4. Great pics, Gini! I so enjoyed watching the wedding. I wonder when it will be Prince Harry's turn...

  5. Loved this picture. Goes to show you one or two will not do. The couple did not seem happy. Maybe they were trying to be solemn.

  6. Jasia, I very much enjoyed watching the wedding and I have to admit, I am still watching it! It's been on here all day and I haven't gotten tired of it yet! Also, stories of how they met and history of the Royal family . . . I am so bad! Hopefully Harry's turn is coming up, but it does not look like he has settled down yet!

  7. Hummer, I think it was a formality or at least I hope so. I really do think they have a special love for each other and I wish them a very happy life together.
