While the Royal Wedding in Westminster was not a natural disaster or an emergency that needed to be reported on television worldwide, this past Friday it was all over the news from early in the morning to late in the afternoon.
An event that had been talked about for months, finally occurred and resulted in one of the most expected events for the people whether you lived here in America or in any other part of the world. I guess this event was indeed one of the most appreciated royal weddings, simply because both William and Catherine were in love, and this is something that you never expect in royal weddings.
An ordinary girl, Catherine Middleton, was not raised with the same luxuries as Prince William, but what started in college continued until the day of their wedding.
Both William and Catherine attended University of St. Andrew's in Scotland and even became roommates, but William's interest for Catherine did not start then. It was until the day that Catherine participated in a runway, that she sparked William's attention. From that day on William tried to impress her by cooking every night. Catherine and William started dating in 2001, but this long-time relationship ended in the year 2007. This break-up however did not last long as the couple came back together and finally decided to get married this past Friday, April 29, 2011.
While this may not be as newsworthy as a natural disaster, it was a major event in England most commonly even celebrated as a Holiday as people are not required to work on the day of the wedding.
Catherine Middleton will never be like Princess Diana, but her efforts will not be put to waste. Personally, I think that Catherine has done a great job so far. Even though she was not raised as a royal, she has learned how to present herself professionally when she is with William and even when she must handle the press on her own.
Pertaining to the wedding, Catherine indeed chose a spectacular dress that she wore very well. Princess Diana on the other hand did not wear such an appealing dress. This could have been due to the fact that unlike Catherine, she was not in love with the man that she was about to marry. At only 19 years of age, Princess Diana had no other choice than to marry Prince Charles, who was also not in love with her in return. This could have perhaps been the main reason why they never lived a happy life as a couple. As for Prince William and Catherine, things will be different, just hopefully the same story will not repeat because this couple is actually in love.
Another thing that I thought was very of Prince William was that gave Catherine his mother's engagement ring, which he later mentioned that he did this because he wanted his mother to be a part of the wedding and to accompany him on this special day even though she was not there in person.
Rather than an actual natural disaster invading the news this weekend, the royal wedding was more of a love story that I am sure many people enjoyed as it brought the old times back along with a taste of modernism through the love and affection that both the Prince and his now wife shared.
