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?

To be honest, I haven’t made up my mind about watching. I will, of course, watch the news to see her dress.
But seriously, for me, the only thing that matters is this is a marriage of LOVE.
Not convenience. Not royal blood. Not money. Just plain old fashioned LOVE.
That makes me smile and gives me hope. For William and Kate. For the monarchy.
Princess Diana’s life was not in vain. She wanted more for her children…and she got the most important thing…true love. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Most little girls dream of marrying prince charming. Of course we have to watch……. Hope you enjoy your day off:)

I’m contemplating getting up at 2 am to watch it. Call me crazy, I can always nap after I get the kids to school.

I’ve changed my mind often. I will probably get up too.
You’re not crazy, Cecelia. I’m also going to be up early to watch the royal wedding. I’m on central time, so it’s going to be quite a wakeup at dark-thirty in the morning 🙂
I didn’t get to see the wedding of Charles and Diana, so I eagerly look forward to watching this one.
@Tea and Brandi, I’m glad you stopped by and commented!
Brandi, I watched the Royal Wedding back in the eighties because it was an exciting event in my drab, boring life. It gave me something to do and to look forward too! I feel so old since that wedding took place so long ago and now one of the offspring from that wedding, William, is getting married! 🙂
Folks, I didn’t make the scones. I was too tired! I purchased a cream cheese coffee cake and some apple turnovers for us to enjoy during the festivities. Author Camy Tang shared a great looking scone recipe on her blog:

So I’ll be making those within the next week or so!
