It's taken a while but I've finally caught it; wedding fever that is! I am suddenly ridiculously excited for the wedding of the century, which takes place tomorrow. After doing a few lessons on it over the past few days, the excitement has built within me as though it's my own wedding that the country will be celebrating. This is extremely titillating for me, and others of my generation, because we missed the wedding of Charles and Diana and were too young to understand what was going on for most of the other significant Royal Weddings. Of course, there was Prince Charles and Camilla's wedding, but they played it down so it was hard as a nation to be excited about that, whether we wanted be or not.
This is a genuine, British fairytale. It's not everyday that you get to watch a "normal" (more on that later) girl become a Princess. At some point in most of our lives, us females have dreamt of such a thing. Everything about Kate and William's story screams Hollywood fairytale ending. They started out as "just good friends", William noticed Kate when she modelled in a catwalk show (in a rather revealing dress), they fell in love, then came the split, the make up and to end it all, the marriage. How many films have ended like this? Let's face it, tomorrow is really just the start of their long and happy life together. It's what dreams are made of.
Above anything I find it wonderful and exhilarating to see our country standing together as one to celebrate this historic event. Surely, in the age of celebrity endorsements, Kate and William are the faces of the British Monarchy. History is being made. Naturally you find many cynics, who feel that the Monarchy are a waste of time, or that they bring nothing to the country. I've seen or heard people drone on about how the wedding is a farce- I'm sure those people will be going in to work on the additional bank holiday then? Thought not.
My stance on tomorrow is one of whole-hearted support. I look forward to supporting my country and my future King and Queen. The power to pull together through these amazing times, as well as during the bad times, is what makes the United Kingdom so special. Let's make Kate and William proud!
