If you were a silly person, you would wait until 10am to leave and then wander around the city amongst thousands of other people doing it as well, until finally deciding just to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.
We got to Charing Cross and it was madness! There were SO many people and SO many flags!! Of COURSE we had to buy one and wave it around. :) We trekked it to the edge of High Park, where they had giant video screens broadcasting the wedding, but by the time we got there, the carriage was almost back at Buckingham! So we sat right beside the Wellington Arch, turned on Melissa's cell phone radio and listened to the broadcast while drinking mimosas we brought with us.
We were all dolled up and the atmosphere was SO happy and excited! So many little kids, so many flags, so much pride! We actually ended up picking a good place to settle because the Royal Calvary rode right past us and we had a good view of the airplanes and jets as they flew overhead!
After it was over, we headed to Shoreditch to have dinner and check out the market. We grabbed an Evening Standard that had a picture of the kiss on the front and it was the first time we had seen it!! So beautiful!
I don't know much about the Royal Family, nor about the politics surrounding them, but I do know that with all this crap that has been going on with the world, from Osama to Egypt to Earthquakes to Protests, it was nice to have a day where everyone was just happy. And a Prince got to marry his princess. :)
