I know that if I can’t be there to watch my children wed, I’d want mothers everywhere watching for me.

I have always felt a kinship to them for that reason, even though, like you, none of them know I exist. I didn’t watch the wedding, but mostly because my kids and dog won’t let me sleep most of the time – I have to take it where I can get it. But I will be watching the highlights online all day, just as I watched the highlights of his mother and Charles’ wedding when I was a little girl.

However.

Seeing all the coverage and the people who did get up to watch it reminds me of my grandmother and how excited she was for Charles and Di to get married. She talked about all the time and got up super early to watch it. Her excitement over it is one of my favorite memories of her – because she was so giddy and cute.

Remembering her made me wish that I had gotten excited over it and watched it.

I love he gave her his mother’s ring and how lovingly he still speaks of her.

I watched Charles and Diana’s wedding when I was little in awe of the fact that I was witnessing someone become a princess. I have to admit, that is a huge part of why I will be watching today, because don’t we all still have a tiny part of us that wants to find our prince charming, be swept off our feet, become a princess and live happily ever after in a castle no less?
