The Royal Wedding

Eats to share while watching the Royal Wedding

It was excellent getting together with 17 ladies in Boskruin, Joburg to watch the Royal Wedding. The hostess was Julie Bennett who is an avid royal fan. She went out of her way to decorate her lounge with Prince William and Kate Middleton. She also had the British flag flying high, not to mention a box of tissues for any lady who is moved by the beauty of the wedding. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think we were sitting somewhere in the U.K being very patriotic.

Some of the ladies in Boskruin

It’s interesting listening to ladies chatting. Much detail is shared. The conversation ranged from dress, head gear; make up, seating arrangements etc. A few cheers were heard in the lounge when Prince William and Prince Harry were seen dressed in full regimental uniform. The ladies unanimously agreed that Mrs Carole Middleton looked lovely.

Much speculation surrounded the comment of a lady from San Francisco who fainted when she saw Prince William.

When there was a close up shot of Kate Middleton, the comments were just how beautiful she looked- The lovely bride. The service was beautiful and the reading of Romans 12:1 – 18 by James Middleton capped it all. Some “older” ladies in the lounge were moved to tears. They kept saying “excuse me” before wiping their tears and sniffing.

The atmosphere in the home was wonderful and the wedding itself was beautiful.
