At 3am local time, our favorite sweethearts Wills&Kate were married. Since I am at my sister's house and she has a PVR, I could have been a normal person, recorded it, and watched it upon waking this morning. But here's the thing: I'm not really one to miss out on live showings of Historic, Seismic-shift events. Especially when that event is one as romantic as this: a wedding between a Prince & his new once-was-a-commoner-like-me Princess (or, shall I say, Duke and Dutchess).
Perhaps it's because they're my age, or maybe it's their air of groundedness and approachability, or the class and regality that oozes from them, or maybe it was driven by the desire to finally see THE DRESS... regardless of the reason, I couldn't have slept even if I tried; by the time the ceremony started, I was more awake than I would have been if I had watched it this morning.
It's too late for some of you already, but if, say, in the future, there is a Royal Wedding at 3am and you want to stay up all night and watch it, here are some of the steps we took to help us take it in.
Step 1: COFFEE. Drank this beast at 11pm. Kicked in about midnite. Lasted 'til 1. . . |
Step 3: play a rousing game of ________. In our case, we played Scene It! for awhile. I won a lot. Just saying. (okay okay, we all did really well) . . |
Step 4: go for a drive. No really, when you are exhausted and starving, this is sometimes your only option. See Step 5 for more details. . . |
Step 5: prevent the CRASH by eating something healthy and delicious. It's been like, 8 hours since you've had dinner, after all. . . |
Step 6: Keep your eye on the clock....IT'S TIME!!! . . |
