You can imagine our delight when my fellow foodies and I discovered that our next Food Club night coincided with William & Kate's wedding.
Promptly, we decided to dress up in wedding attire (some girls are choosing to wear an old bridesmaid's dress (and because I've kept NONE of my many dresses - sorry girls I've been in weddings for), I'm wearing my actual wedding gown.
We'll be watching the wedding on the tellie, while eating finger food varieties of good English fare.
I'm making Yorkshire puddings with gravy and I can't wait to see if my wedding dress still fits (don't worry, I'm not going to be last minute and discover it doesn't fit just before I fly out the door).
And while I'm getting into the swing of things, I'm looking forward to seeing what Kate will wear. Gosh, it's bringing back memories of the last big Royal Wedding. Lady Di getting Charlie's names all muddled, and her shy lovely smile. I don't consider myself a real royal fan (no, I don't own a tea set with Di and Charles' faces on it), but I did get swept away with the whole thing back in the day.
So, I'm going to relish in it again. And create some new memories that I can look back upon with fondness, joy and laughter.
Are you going to watch the wedding tonight? Are you going to get into the wedding swing of things, or avoid it completely?
You're going to eat gravy while wearing your wedding dress? You brave woman! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely going to watch the royal wedding and examine the dress and hair carefully and ooh and ah at the prince, the carriages and the corgis..well maybe not the corgis! I'm having a little giveaway on my blog too..in honour of Kate and Wills.
ReplyDeleteFirst I thought they were portugese tarts in that pick of yours and thought....oh im' just gonna jump on a plane and pop over. and then i realised they were probably yorkshire pud's...and now all i want is roast dinner.
ReplyDeleteYou are a big meany! Making me starving an' all.
(on the royal wedding front - so glad mr. rugby is going to the pub raffles tonight so i can watch without being HARASSED about it.)
Soooo, I'm off to try on my wedding dress. It's not white, and wasn't expensive, so I don't mind a little gravy or jam n' cream drizzled on it. Might need a wash anyways...
ReplyDeleteA giveaway is a perfect way to celebrate a royal wedding!
Sorry Andrea for making you hungry. Off to the kitchen now to see how they're going! xx
I can just picture you in your wedding gown polishing off a plate of yorkshire puds... or not! Have fun. I'll be woofing down some greasy fish and chips with a trifle chaser in honor of the occasion. I told you I needed a food club!! x
ReplyDeletedespite being married to an englishman, he has NO interest in the royal wedding, so it looks like i'm watching it alone :-(
ReplyDeleteenjoy your evening!
~x~
Oh Kymmmmieee!!! This sounds like so much fun!!! I was supposed to go to a Royal Wedding Party and was going to wear my wedding dress too, but unfortunantly I have to work, and then the host has had emergency surgery yesterday so the party was cancelled! Bummer! I'm hoping to tape or although i know it will be broadcast over and over and over, but still, i envy your food night/wedding celebrations!! enjoy and have some yummy English food for me!

Totally love the sound of your foodie club - grand idea chaps! I'll watch the wedding - but I'm only kinda interested. I remember watching Charles and Di's wedding when I was 10. I loved Dianna back then :O)
ReplyDeleteAny occasion that allows you another go in your wedding dress sounds like too much fun to me! I will be glued to the set. Not the least bit a Royalist, but love a wedding and worldwide celebration. What will she wear? The $2 question :) x
ReplyDeleteTotally going to watch it - and have a few friends who are also getting into it with dressups etc (but alas I won't be able to attend due to an ill child).
ReplyDeleteCheck out what I got my hubby in celebration of it... http://www.paisleyjade.com/2011/04/royal-crush.html
Surely you in your wedding dress is the next Fancy Pants??? gxo
ReplyDeleteWe are celebrating with Devonshire Tea and Cucumber Sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
Ooh what a great idea for Food Club! I'll be watching, I NEED to see what she wears! I have my bestie coming over and we will eat cucumber sandwiches, scones and cups of tea. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteOk so can we expect a wedding dress fancy pants tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your evening.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun. I watched the ceremony with the girls via live streaming in the office. Then I headed home and had my fill of the replay on CNN.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea..and OH MY! 10 years and you still fit in that gorgeous dress..oh and a balcony shot..how princessy..love it I will defs be remembering that idea for my daughter/sons wedding when it happens....cheers
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing! Went to a friend's house and we all dressed up - she made soooo much food for us, all with a British theme. My faves were the Yorkshire puddings with beef strips and horseradish sauce - OMG divine!!!!
