Everyone loves a wedding but a Royal Wedding is so freaking exciting. I don’t know why, other than it’s like a fairytale in ways. Kate Middleton is going to make a stunning Princess. I hope her Prince William loves her the way his mom deserved (and wanted) to be treated.
It’s quite an honour that Kate was proposed to with Princess Diana’s ring, but it is a sad reminder of how Diana met her fate and I hope to gawd that the pappers give this royal couple some space even if just out of respect for Diana. If you want to see a flashback in magazine covers of Diana’s royal wedding check these out. Diana died in a Paris car crash in 1996, when she was 36.
Kate’s parents Michael and Carole Middleton, look like they are giddy teenagers, they look so happy. I don’t think the sentiment that ’no son is good enough for my daughter’ is going to apply in this case. I mean he seems decent enough and you know he’s marrying for love. It’s so perfect. They said of the engagement:
“I would just like to say that Carole and I are absolutely delighted by today’s announcement and thrilled at the prospect of a wedding some time next year,” Michael said. “As you know Katherine and Prince William have been going out together for quite a number of years which has been great for us because we have got to know William very well.
“We all think he is wonderful and we are extremely fond of him. They make a lovely couple, they are great fun to be with, and we’ve had a lot of laughs together. We wish them every happiness for the future.”
They really are a lovely couple who have a wonderful life ahead of them. I’ve also included shots of the Queen smiling quite the smile as well as the excitement on the estate of Kate Middleton’s parents.
It’s Official: Prince William and Kate Middleton Are Engaged
When asked about the proposal, Kate told journalists:
“He’s a true romantic,” “We had a holiday in Africa and it was out there, in a very quiet lodge. It was very romantic and a very personal time for both of us.
“It’s quite a daunting prospect to join the royal family but hopefully I’ll take it in my stride. William is a great teacher so I hope he’ll help me along the way, I’m really look forward to it and spending my time with him.”
Prince William discussed his reason for giving Kate his mom’s ring (get your tissues out..this guy is not only romantic but sentimental)
“As you may have recognised it’s my mother’s engagement ring so it’s very special to me. As Kate’s very special to me now, it’s the two put together,” he said. “It’s my way of making sure my mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement and fact that we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together.”
William praised Kate’s sense of fun and said they both enjoy mocking one another when asked why they were so in love. Kate loves how Williams always has her best interests at heart (and THAT’s a huge thing):
“Over the years he’s looked after me and treated me well, he’s a loving boyfriend. He’s very, very supportive of me through the good times and also the bad times,”
I think I’m going to explode with excitement over the upcoming marriage.
