(DrTom was asked to give the bride away at the Royal Wedding, but the bride's father insisted that he do it. So DrTom stayed home with his wife.)
About a week ago, Management had the bright idea that we should attend the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. I had not remembered receiving my royal invitation, so I looked all over the house for it. I found a number of old lottery tickets, a couple of laundry receipts, and a key I had been looking for in pockets of my jackets, but no wedding invite.
Then, she explained that we were not
actually going to the wedding, but we would attend it remotely in my den by watching it on our flat-screen tv. However, we would dress appropriately for the occasion, as if we were actually there. So I set the alarm for 4am, we arose, dressed, and laid out scones and coffee and a bottle of champagne.
Below are some of the photos taken of us by the paparazzi.

| Management, sporting the Fascinator hat she fashioned from items she had around the house, which are attached to a paper plate. As cheap as this hat was to make, it was not the worst looking hat at the wedding. (See Fergie's daughter) |
 |
| Kate had asked me to give her away, but I couldn't make the affair in person. I, in turn, asked her father if he would do the honor. He reluctantly agreed. |
 |
| These events often make me weepy. I love weddings! |
 |
| Management and I finished off a bottle of champagne before 6am, which is a first for us. Did I mention that I love weddings? |
