THE ROYAL WEDDING

Our plan for the wedding was to wake up early Friday morning, around 4 or 5 and go find our spot on the street, wherever that may be. We had accepted the fact that we may not even get a glimpse of Wills and Kate, but we were going to do our very best!

We had dinner and decided to walk around for a little bit just to see what the crowd was looking like so far.  We stumbled upon a crowd and camera crews outside of a hotel and stopped to see what the fuss was all about...

The hotel where Kate stayed the night before the wedding!

We walked around by Buckingham Palace and noticed that people were camping out, but there were still a decent number of spots open in front of the Palace with a good view of the balcony. We started to talk about whether or not we should go ahead and get a spot while we could. What did we decide?...


...to camp out of course! We debated what we should do, for just a minute, and then went straight to Harrods!


Why did we decide camping out was worth it?
.... THE VIEW!



So we waited, and waited, and waited for the whole wedding extravaganza to begin, not knowing exactly what was going to happen, where she would drive by on the way, where the carriage would bring them on the way back, how close we would be able to get once they let everyone go to the gate... we just knew we were excited to be there!

It was 100% worth our last minute decision to camp out. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Thank you Lord for a zoom lens :)



 Still amazed that this was our view!!


 We got to see her on the way, and him on the way back :)


 The Queen and Prince Philip


 Mr. and Mrs. Middleton and Prince Charles and Camilla


This is only posted because it's THE hat!


And the moment the whole world was waiting on!


Our trip was already a success!! Excited about a few days full of traveling in Scotland and Ireland!
