Royal Wedding

There's been plenty of writing about the Royal Wedding but I am going to add my two penny's worth!
Firstly, it was meaningful to me to share such a huge cultural occasion with my friends and family in the UK.  Knowing that we were able to participate in the watching together.
Secondly, it was fun to celebrate the occasion with American friends and realise how much I know about British history and culture.  It is also a sobering reminder of what our children miss in their upbringing - a subconscious awareness of things uniquely British.  They may be able to learn those things but it will never be inherent in them.
Thirdly, I had to laugh when Rose asked, "Is that the Queen?"
Debs: Yes
Rose: That's really the Queen of our country?
Debs: Yes
Rose: But where's her crown? Her special dress?
Josh: Yes, that doesn't look like a queen!
