Though we are newly Canadian we remain British. And as such we wanted to enjoy the Pomp & Circumstance of the Royal wedding as best we could over here in Vancouver. There are many ex-pats or just pro-royal folks here who planned to mark the day in some way.
The day started early with a 1 am pyjama party to watch the proceedings live at a friends place. Of course Big Ben kept us in touch with London Time.
Tiara & Bubbles abound. This was the start of much champagne drinking which can’t be bad.
I’m pretty sure that the TV reception for the last royal wedding I watched, Charles & Di, you never would have got away with snaps for keepsakes but thanks to the modern HD vision it’s like we were right there! LoL!!
Then it’s on to Mrs Crompton’s to join a more sensible daytime party complete with Full English, more champagne, finger sandwiches, Scones & Cake.
It all Gets very patriotic if not a little surreal.
Congrats to The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge.
Any excuse for a bit of fun in the name of tradition, eh?

I think many people became royalists that day! I watched it recorded starting at 9am local time, and my eyes were glued to the screen the whole five hours.
