When William & Kate (I refuse to call her Catherine) announced their engagement I stood back with the scoffers and really didn't care about the royal hurrah.
BUT about a month ago that all changed and I was sucked in the royal wedding whirlwind. I have been following blogs, social magazines, newspapers & gossip rags; anything to keep up with the goings on of Prince William and his lucky lady, Kate Middleton.
Yes, many people see it as another over-dramatized soap opera of a couple who they believe won't make it.
As a true believer in fairytales and happily-ever-after, I see otherwise. I want to believe that William and Kate have a chance.
Last night when Kate went to bed, I wonder what went through her thoughts. She, a common born daughter of a pilot and airline stewardess was going to marry into one of the most famous royal families of history. The thoughts & emotions must have been overwhelming.
And then today, she walked into Westminster Abbey as Kate Middleton and emerged Duchess Catherine of Cambridge, wife of Prince William of England.
What an incredible Cinderella tale!
I think in most girls' hearts lies a wish for such a fairytale. Oh, to be noticed in our common state by a handsome prince and swept away into our happily ever after. We want that. And you know what, we will find that. No, our prince may not be heir to a British throne. No, we may not ride away in an Aston Martin. No, we may not get married in Westminster Abbey by the Bishop of London.
But our prince will come and we will see our fairytale. It may not be the Disney fairytales we grew up with but it will be real and true.
Maybe one day we can hear words, much like the ones spoken by the Bishop of London,....
