Last night was the wedding (you know which one I'm talking about) and this morning I woke up and checked facebook to find that only guys had posted comments about it... multiple guys actually. I thought it was really funny because they all wrote some kind of reference to how the don't care about it. Really they obviously do care about it or else they wouldn't have said anything at all. Right? I'm not ashamed to say that I've taken an interest in the whole thing because let's be honest, it's interesting. The whole concept of a Monarchy and the class system that the British have (even though it's not as extreme as it used to be) is very interesting to me. Living in America where it seems like 99% of it's citizens are in the middle class, I didn't realize how much influence classes had in the United Kingdom until I watched the TV series "Downton Abbey". I don't know how historically correct that show is but it really struck me how the people in the lower class respected the positions that the people in the higher classes held, but not necessarily the person who held the position. I think that this is partially why the "Royal Wedding" is so important to the British people, it's not really about Kate and Wills it's more about celebrating the country's traditions and it kind of connects the people with their ancestry.
Anyway... I don't know if I'm right about all this.
But one thing I do know is that Kate's dress was SO perfect.
I just hope that it was enough to change everyone's current obsession for strapless dresses which are not so... perfect.
