Today's Peeve Of The Day, Friday 29th April. (daughter, scene, wedding)

Good morning posters from England on the day where London is going to be a bit busy.

Imagine being nervous for your wedding and then realising that an estimated 2 billion people will be watching worldwide!

The weather over here has been fantastic for the last month but showers are forecast for today, so this brings me to today's peeve;

Weather spoiling a special event.

(Fingers crossed that the day passes well for today's big event.)

Looks like your crossed fingers worked!

I just caught some wedding highlights & the double kiss on the balcony~Beautiful couple!

The weather does seem to be holding up- I've come in from the garden and am quite warm.

We were married during May many moons ago and it was perfect.

A day later we were in the Caribbean where many couples were getting married out there. Although the weather out there was good overall I did feel sorry for those couples that got caught up in the daily downpour.

I watched much of the last part of the wedding proceedings. Didn't get up in time for the wedding itself but I saw the balcony scene. They seem like they are really in love and I hope they will have a long and happy married life. Been a long time since there was a high level "love match" in that family that resulted in a successful marriage. (The debacles of the marriages of both Charles and Andrew were a blight on the monarchy itself.) I thought Kate's dress was gorgeous--understated, simple, elegant and beautiful. I'm so glad the weather cooperated for this big day.

Last time weather ruined something for me was a few years ago when some nasty weather swept through here at the community Fourth of July picnic. Everyone had to scurry home and take cover.

Nothing like getting rained out for an outdoor wedding or a baseball game.
Actually I do remember a block party we (my daughter and I) went to back in Az, it was the New Years Eve block party in Tempe and shortly before midnight, it started raining so we ended up leaving.

Not everyone can live in paradise.....

Joking. It rains here all the time. It is usually too hot and humid this time of the year to plan for too many outdoor special events.

Here's praying the weather doesn't delay the Endeavor Space Shuttle liftoff at the Cape today. Hope everything is A-

I don't know about London but we just had a sharp shower a few minutes ago- around 11pm.

So it seems that it did hold off for the big day. They were able to use the open carriages for their parade back to Buckingham Palace.
