...having Royal Fever!

I don't know how it is in other parts of the world, but here in NY everyone's thoughts and eyes have been on the royal wedding in England. New Yorkers woke up extra early today to watch the wedding. The wait was well worth it because it was divine. Full of beautiful and tasteful fashion and lots of love. 
The much anticipated dress that Kate Middleton wore also did not disappoint. She wore a dress designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen that combined traditional elegance and modernity. It was full of satin gazar, silk tulle, and lace, put together entirely by hand with all fabrics and designers originating in Britain. 
Hats also seemed to be make a bold appearance at the wedding. Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, Prime Minister's wife Miriam Gonzalez Duantezthe, and the expected Victoria Beckham were just a few of the guests spotted wearing hats. 
Aside from a very posh gathering of posh people, there were also lots of very touching words exchanged and that is what I will end this post with. 
The Bishop of London started his speech with this: '“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” So said St Catherine of Siena whose festival day it is today. Marriage is intended to be a way in which man and woman help each other to become what God meant each one to be, their deepest and truest selves.'
