The Royal Wedding of William and Kate!

I got to go to the Royal Wedding! I got to go to the Royal Wedding! I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! Here is the story of our one day adventure!

We went to London for the first 3 days of our free travel trip then we went to Ireland. Then we came back to London on Thursday night for the wedding. Our flight from Ireland to London was supposed to leave at 10:00PM but it got delayed. We finally arrived in London and made it to our hostel around 1:30AM. By the time we got settled in our 24 person dorm room :( it was around 2:30AM. We all slept in our clothes and woke up at 4:30AM so that we could be out the hostel door at 5:00AM to head to Buckingham Palace. We walked for about an hour to get to Buckingham Palace around 6:00AM. There was already lots of people. People were camped along the main street.

People were standing everywhere. We walked around for awhile trying to find a good place to stand where we could see them drive by and see them on the balcony. We found a spot to the left of Buckingham Palace around 7:00AM. We were behind a crowd of people. Throughout the morning we would inch closer and closer to the front allowing us, around 9:45AM, to be a couple rows from the front. We had a wonderful spot!! We met some nice people who were standing around us. Some of them were from London and they were telling us different things about the history of the royalty and why things were done the way they were. It was really interesting. I learned that no one else attending the wedding can wear the same color as the Queen. She wore yellow. Here is a picture of her leaving Buckingham Palace heading to Westminster Abbey.

We got to see Kate Middleton and her father drive by on the way to Westminster Abbey.

After they were married, we got to see William and Kate drive past in their carriage. I took a video instead of pictures. The video is posted on my Facebook. She looked absolutely beautiful as they drove past waving. We also had a great view of the balcony. Here are a few pictures!

It was a wonderful experience. It was worth standing from 6:00AM to 2:00PM! This was my most memorable experience and I am so thankful that I was a part of history!
