I Believe in Fairy Tales!

Getting up in the early hours of the morning isn't really my cup of tea. But, I will be up and in front of my television the morning of April 29 to be a part of the celebration of marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Why?

Because I believe in fairy tales and that dreams can come true! I can remember like it was yesterday getting up as a ten year old girl, with my mom and watching Princess Diana marry Prince Charles. I was smitten with the royal family from that day on. We celebrated the union by collecting china pieces and my mom gave me a little commemorative book ....{which I still have to this day, and enjoy looking at it with my youngest daughter.}



Years later as I was looking to get married, my ideal wedding dress was modeled after Diana's. I wanted the long train. When I thought of flowers, I thought of Diana's bouquet of white roses, and even told the florist we hired that was what I was looking for in my flowers.

Pictured above is just a couple of the commemorative items which my mom has from 1981. Back in 1981 my grand dad had a jewelry and china shop and that is where she found her pieces. But now the shop is gone, so we will be looking to The U.K. Gift Company for memorabilia this time around. The U.K. Gift Company is celebrating 152 as commemorative gift specialists, and the great thing for us in North America is they will ship reasonably to us. Simply just email them to get postage pricing!



So for me, I will be watching with excitement as the next generation of royals wed. I still believe in fairy tales even all these years later. Who knows, maybe I will even have a little girl or two who might get up with me and watch a real life fairy tale!
