Stay Calm: It's Only A Wedding

OK I admit it, I have a secret obsession with the Royal Wedding.  Maybe it's because as a kid my Grandma Ruth had the iconic "Wedding Day"  Princess Diana doll.  This doll was a collectors item and I wasn't allowed to play with it.  The closes I came to touching the doll, was when I left nose and finger prints all over the glass case she was in.  As I got older, I realized the significance about Princess Diana and understood why this doll was so special......

On Friday the world will witness a historical event and I might be crazy enough to watch the event live (at 4 am) while wearing the below headband,  drinking tea and eating crumpets.  We'll see if I actually do it.  It sounds like a great idea now that I've had 10 cups of coffee, but I'm sure my deep sleep will overpower my urge to witness history in the making.  Thank god we have a DVR.  Knowing me I'll probably watch the wedding 12 hours later with a G and T! 

 Thanks E for the headband. I couldn't think of a better occasion to wear this fabulous headband.  Now if I only could remember where I left my white gloves....

LEGO Wedding Ring

Now this guy has a loving and pretty cool wife.  People who are in to LEGOs obviously have a bit of a creative streak in them.  We've all seen an amazing LEGO creation at some point that blew us away.  But this wedding ring is pretty damn sweet, especially since its a base that you can attach any LEGO brick to.  Its the ultimate accessory.  We want now.

B is for Boznanski

Who doesn't love the the famous line "All You Need Is Love," written by John Lennon in 1967. Although it's a simple saying it has a deep truth to it.  Yesterday Erica and Blake got married.  It was an amazing day that went by WAY to fast.  Below are a few pictures from the day.  I was only going to post ten, but ended up with two extras!

The History of Love 

The above quote was printed on the back of the ceremony program and I thought the wording was a perfect way to start this blog entry.   The evening was a perfect summer night, elegant, cool with a touch of the unexpected. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Wonder Woman and Batman Marry Over the Weekend

You thought Chelsea Clinton's was in the biggest wedding of the weekend?  You were wrong.

Sharon and Neil Vaughan married this weekend as Wonder Woman and Batman because they love wearing fancy dress.

But what happened to the caped crusader's sidekicks?  Well, Robin was the best man and the Joker was the master of ceremonies.

Mrs Vaughan, 40, in red corset, blue hotpants, boots and a tiara and veil, made her entrance to the Wonder Woman theme tune.

Her bridesmaids came as the PowerPuff girls while other guests included Superman, the Incredibles, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk and Captain America.
