But Friday was for me. I had a late morning appointment scheduled on the same day as THE wedding, so I was able to take the entire day off of school and enjoy every moment of sweet Wills and Kate's day drinking coffee in my pjs. For at least two to three hours, all of the world had a hope in love and a promise of what is true and good the world...
I continued celebrating into the evening as Mike and I joined many of our friends at a Royal themed gala and silent auction benefitting a local rehabilitation hospital. A cute friend and I took cues from the royal protocol that stated that all ladies were to don hats at the wedding. Not everyone did that evening, and we certainly were quite the standouts...
My attention to detail and protocol must have paid off. The big raffle of the evening was a stunning sapphire and diamond ring in the style of the Royal engagement ring. Albeit a bit smaller than Kate's, it was beautiful. You can imagine my surprise when my name was announced as the winner!
So, yes... when my husband calls me Princess, he's definitely correct. And I have the ring to prove it!
Congratulations on your win! And you look gorgeous in your hat! Looks like a fun event!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the ring Bevy! You are a princess and you look beautiful in your hat! I loved how the minister at the royal wedding said every wedding is a royal wedding.
