THE ROYAL WEDDING: AFTER PARTY

Ladies and Gentleman

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

William and Kate woke up this morning as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.. how's that for a wedding present?! The newlyweds were seen strolling the Palace lawn hand in hand thanking staff before they were whisked away by helicopter. And while she may be royalty now, the Duchess made a very down-to-earth footwear decision: She donned the same wedges Saturday morning as she did for her wedding rehearsal just a few days before. As for their top secret honeymoon?? As stated in a press released from the Palace, "The Duke and Duchess have chosen not to depart for a honeymoon immediately. Instead, after spending a weekend privately in the United Kingdom, The Duke will return to work as a Search and Rescue pilot next week. The locations of both their private weekend and their future honeymoon, which will be overseas, will not be disclosed in advance." ...Good call!

The bride's evening look was certainly fit for a princess and carried along the magical theme. Kate slipped into a surprising strapless evening dress also by McQueen's creative director Sarah Burton [designer of the wedding dress]. The dress made of white satin gazar with a circle skirt and diamante embroidery detailing around the waist was stunning. The gown was topped off with a cropped angora sweater to keep the chill of Kate in the breezy 60 degree weather. This evening dress fit perfectly on Kate's gorgeous body and allowed mobility for some much deserved dancing with her new Prince.

Well, it was all in all a regal and absolutely magnificent affair. Hope everyone enjoyed the Royal Wedding as much as I did! Overjoyed for the new Royal couple and look forward to watching them become an even more fabulous pair for years to come. Fairytales do come true.... Ask Kate Middleton :)

happy Saturday lovely readers!

THE ROYAL WEDDING: MAGICAL

I could talk about the Royal Wedding for hours and still never even touch the bare surface of the magnicificent event. There is truly no easy way to explain the emotions that took place during this wedding. Highlights: For one, Diana was heavily felt in spirit. Secondly, it was such a biblically sound seremony which overjoyed my heart. Lastly, McQueen is smiling down from heaven, overwhelmed by the beauty portrayed by Kate wearing the gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. It was magical, enchanting, breathe taking, more than words could ever express. What a dream. My inner girl was taking me by storm with absolute no warning, I could not believe how high my emotions were and how into it I was. Please tell me I wasn't alone?? I had NO idea how completely wonderful it was going to be just merely watching it on tv. Kate Middleton was absolutely positively stunning. She was extremely calm and glowing with joy. There were precious moments of her looking around and truly taking in every moment and only then as a girl, you had to stop and try to wrap your mind around what she possibly could be feeling. Surely it was surreal. Moreover it was incredibly incredibly magical. Hope you got to experience every moment...I of course recorded it so I wouldn't miss a beat!

Today One Year Ago

On one of the most gorgeous fall days I have ever seen... I committed my heart to and life spent with my absolute favorite person on this planet. Sounds overwhelming and seems like so much to take in but I never knew those moments would be so calm and comforting. It literally felt like stepping into a whole other world. A world of unbelievable adventure, constant joy, unconditional love, excitement, and a peace that is so precious. I had always dreamed of a fall wedding, something about the vibrate colors just made it seem like a perfect fit for such a special day...and a perfect fall wedding day it was.

To the man who is always there beside me, who inspires me, loves me beyond what I can believe, leads me, who encourages me, plays little kid and dances around like a crazy person with me, laughs with me, cries with me, sings with me, tells me he's proud of me, and strives everyday to make the most of our life together....Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband, Ryan. I cannot believe we have been on this 24/7 undeniably fun journey together for one whole year now. It seems as though yesterday we were picking our wedding date around the SEC football schedule and I was shopping for that ONE perfect dress to prance down the aisle toward him in.
