A Royal Good Time!

Heather, Marci and I had tossed around the idea of getting together for the royal wedding a few times for fun in the past few months but as the day got closer we seriously started considering a royal party!
What a great excuse to eat goodies, have girl time and watch a prince and his beautiful bride get married! We convened at 1 am at Heather's place for an entire night/morning of wedding footage.
Marci was a bit of a Diana buff back in the eighties and had several 'Diana' hats for us to wear as we watched the nuptials.

Marci was definitely in the spirit. She's perfected the royal wave.

One of the highlights of the evening was getting to meet Jane who is a Kindergarten teacher at the elementary school. She had heard through the grapevine that we were having a little wedding party and wanted desperately to join us. Jane is English and really wanted to watch the wedding with others and not on her own. She was an absolute delight and gave the night an authentic British flavour!
We were perky the first half of the night. It was all down hill from there as our bodies were rather confused with the hour and the fact we were eating and awake when we should be sleeping!
Heather mentioned that she would make us some popcorn. And then we arrived to find this spread! WOW! She's the ultimate hostess.
Oh it was lovely to watch all the pomp and circumstance. Pure eye candy.
I brought some imported English biscuits. Hob Nobs, Tim Tams and Penguins.
Diana was watching too....we couldn't leave her out.
Heather even made us breakfast! Seriously....I had a cinnamon bun and a cup of coffee (GASP) and had a fantastic energy rush for about 45 minutes and then brutally crashed.
Here we are, completely DONE but knowing that we all had to be at work in about two hours. We headed to our homes to shower, change and open up the office at school. It was exhausting but completely worth it.
Thanks for the wonderful evening ladies....you are friends indeed!
Tonight I am going to have the best sleep ever.

It looks like you had the best night!! Love the picture with the hats! :)

I did not watch it but lucky for us Aussies it was on during prime time Friday night tv. Unlucky for me was that there was nothing else on tv to watch. haha

Looks like a fantastic night!
After our night drive back from California, I knew I couldn't stay up! I will be watching it today!

What a fun party! I'm glad that I got up to watch the wedding live. It was worth being exhausted the following day.
