Fairy Tales Can Come True

In the midst of negative stories we got a breath of fresh air with the Royal Wedding.  Prince William and Kate Middleton made a statement of hope as much as they could with palace constraints, having an understated, modern and elegant wedding.   It was a Cinderella moment.

I had the DVR set to capture all the before, during and after.  Even so I was up early and began to watch the coverage of a true fairy tale wedding.  Always grateful my family affairs are not televised around the globe I was reminded like millions of others of the tragic love story of Charles and Diana.  I predict a different journey for Kate and Will.  This really does seem to be a bond of love and equal respect.  Disney could not have scripted this better.

When Prince William looked at his bride and said “You look beautiful” millions of hearts melted.

I think this wedding changed the face of the English monarchy.  The face now is not stodgy, but more youthful.  A page has turned in the way we see what the royals represent.  Its simplicity related to the billions watching the event that they can represent the common man or woman.  Catherine looked beautiful but not extreme in her elegant wedding dress.  Among the invitees were important public figures and entertainers from all continents as well as friends and lifelong neighbors from Kate’s small home town.  It seemed all were treated the same at the wedding.

This kiss on the balcony and then the second were a treat.  But, I think the best part was when the two drove off in the Aston Martin, trailing balloons and a sign, just like any other newlywed couple. The good thing brought out of this Cinderella production is that the Prince and Princess seem genuinely in love with each other. This was clearly not an arranged marriage.  And they did it their way.

Both Will and Kate have been involved in charity work throughout the world and no doubt they will continue.  They are blessed to have the opportunity to take their celebrity and continue to help those who don’t have the power to help themselves.
