Once in a Lifetime Moments
I know the whole world falls into one of two camps when it comes to the upcoming royal wedding. People are either really excited about it or really don’t care and wish the whole lot of them would just disappear into a crater on the moon somewhere.
I happen to be in the really excited camp.
I love the romantic moments of it all. I love the thought of a little girl who really gets to grow up and become a princess. I love that there are still traditions in this world that are respected and continued on. I love that my grandparents saw the wedding of Queen Elizabeth, that my mom woke up early to watch Princess Diana’s wedding, and now I will be wide awake to watch Prince William and Kate Middleton get married. There’s something really beautiful in the truth that, despite all the crazy war and horror that pervades our world every single day, there can still be joy. There can still be beauty and love and fun and excitement. The world’s not dead yet, it’s not completely gone to hell in a handbasket. Sometimes, there are lovely moments completely worth celebrating and enjoying. This is one of them. And so… Friday morning at 3 am, I will up on my couch with several cups of coffee watching BBC America and the wedding.
More thoughts coming soon…
