A Royal Affair!

"Putting in Work"

People gathering for the nuptials
I wanted to document a moment in history I am sure we will talk about in the future. We will romanticize about how magical and spectacular it was to witness the live televised broadcast of the royal nuptials of the possible future king of England, William and his bride Kate or who now goes by Katherine since this sounds more regal. While many of us think it's laughable these funny folks in fancy hats run around the world with this self important title no one cares about any more we still hold them in this esteem that only the media creates.  The monarch is no more and they hold no political power or make any economic decisions other than holding an extravagant affair that cost loads for the people of England while many public service workers were recently laid off and England is facing one of its worst economic crisis.  While this all may be true the one great thing about this royal affair is that it brought many people together during a time of great suffering with war on terror and drugs and an economic meltdown. We can all sit back for a moment and go back to a fairytale fantasy we were all fed as children of far away lands with princes and princesses, kings and queens, and unicorns roam freely. While the wedding was very expensive I am sure, it brought loads of tourism and the English stand to rake in a lot of dough from such an affair only the royals can produce. Hats off to Will and Kate may your union be blessed and if not this would make for more media frenzy in which we are forced to choose sides and don shirts that say "Team William" or "Team Kate".
