The Royal Wedding! :-)

Will you be watching The Royal Wedding tomorrow?

Call me weird, but, I took a vacation day tomorrow just to watch The Royal Wedding! I plan on having scones slathered with Kerrygold butter and preserves! I’m also having coffee (Sorry, no tea. I’ve never been much of a hot tea fan. I only drink tea when I’m sick with a cold.)

The only problem is, I went to both grocery stores nearby and neither sold scones. I’m going to have to make the scones this evening so that I can enjoy them tomorrow morning! If you have a favorite scone recipe to share, I’d be appreciative if you told me about it. I made scones just one time, a gazillion years ago, and I thought the recipe that I used tasted okay.

I recall when Prince William’s parents got married back in the eighties! I was still living at home and I remember getting up at the crack of dawn just to watch the wedding! Also, I recall that I’d never heard much about Prince Charles in the media until he got engaged to Lady Diana! I also remember getting up early in the morning to watch Lady Diana’s funeral! 🙁

I’m NOT a Royal or British enthusiast! I haven’t been following the wedding coverage very much, but, I did take some interest when I first heard William was getting married – I forgot about it a short time later. I don’t watch TV much and I get most of my news from online and via AOL. A high-school friend of mine said she was taking a personal day to watch the wedding and I love a good wedding, being a romance author and all, so I decided to do the same thing. I’ve only started following the wedding coverage over the last few days, but, I’m a bit excited about seeing the wedding and I also want to see her dress!

I’ll be getting up early tomorrow morning, probably around three or four, which is why I need to make my scones today! I’d also thought about making crumpets, but, I’ve never had those before…not sure if I’d like them! I’ve had scones and they remind me of fancy biscuits!

So, will you be watching The Royal Wedding? If so, what time are you planning to wake up?
