Like so many, I was glued to the tv for the wedding, for the news of Prince William's arrival, the reports of her death, and her funeral. After all that, I'm actually glad Charles and Camilla are married. I think Diana actually made that possible.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-3409659343315534662014-06-25T14:00:52.490-07:002014-06-25T14:00:52.490-07:00Fascinating pictures and post.

Do you remember about 20 years ago a British TV movie, Royal Celebration,which was about a street party to celebrate Charles and Di;s wedding Lots of familiar faces in the cast, like Minnie Driver..Your young ladies sitting on the lawn reminded me of it. Most entertaining little film,not about the wedding but about all the different neighbours celebrating.

The wedding ceremony itself was lovely, of course, but he loved another & until later, was denied permission to marry the bride of his heart. I'm so happy they are finally together today. Diana, unfortunately, was a royal victim. The marriage I was most sad to see flounder was that of Andrew & Fergie. I really thought they'd make it, but it was not to be. Kate & William seem to actually be in love with good heads on their shoulders so hope, there, does not seem misplaced. As for cute-as-can-be Harry, I hope he, too, finds true love on his own without undue parental push.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-15704822127864628642014-06-21T09:14:54.717-07:002014-06-21T09:14:54.717-07:00Great to see how you all celebrated the 1981 weddi...Great to see how you all celebrated the 1981 wedding.

From your first photograph it's clear that the women were more interested in the Royal matrimonials than any men they may have had in their lives, who were elsewhere. Of course the Australian version of the fairytale wedding is that of our own Princess Mary of Tasmania and Frederick her Prince Charming of Denmark, who seem to be still going strong, so far!Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-30562577198508843492014-06-21T06:57:03.496-07:002014-06-21T06:57:03.496-07:00Everyone loves a wedding!Everyone loves a wedding!Jackie McGuinnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946085131678256211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-42385100613807713262014-06-21T06:03:06.142-07:002014-06-21T06:03:06.142-07:00That one wedding will forever be etched within my ...That one wedding will forever be etched within my memories. I got to view it all again ( a few years ago) up close when we had a display of Lady Diana, A celebration at our Mall of America. It was a most beautiful, Royal Wedding for me, and our company allowed us to watch it on television live! From the store during the exhibition I bought a shot glass with the Althorp family crest! It's so very sad and tragic how her life ended.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-22797903273841071472014-06-21T02:42:33.716-07:002014-06-21T02:42:33.716-07:00Hard to believe that it is 3 years already since W...Hard to believe that it is 3 years already since Will and Kate tied the knot!<br /><br />Love some of the expressions in the "Wedding Day Delay" photo.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636761469099608281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-14519097648627367452014-06-21T01:10:31.463-07:002014-06-21T01:10:31.463-07:00A vary varied post - enjoyed the read and dipped i...A vary varied post - enjoyed the read and dipped into the story of your Grandparents too. In rural Australia at about the same time as this the photographer's studio was often in another town so the photos were taken on another day. We were in the UK at the time of Prince Andrew's Wedding to Fergie, staying in a B and B in Edinburgh. The landlady who was Indian was very encouraging for us to sit with her and watch the broadcast and she shared a bottle of bubbly with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-5319207656025074762014-06-20T18:14:00.362-07:002014-06-20T18:14:00.362-07:00Your story of your grandparent's wedding photo...Your story of your grandparent's wedding photo was one I missed.
