I remember getting up at 3 AM to watch it. I remember being soaking up all the information shown on the television for weeks before. I remember the magazines that I devoured with all the details. It was the most memorable worldwide event of my life...up to that point.
I remember watching the event, spending the whole day glued to the scene. There was no interent back then...if there had been, I imagine I would have been googling all day too!
I dreamed of one day finding my prince, wearing a beautiful gown and riding through the streets in a carriage.
It was...magical!
I followed her life from the moment the ring went on her finger until the day her coffin stood at the altar where she took those vows. I cried at the wedding, I cried through the funeral.
Tomorrow, I am sure I will be up at 3 AM once again to watch the pomp and pagentry as her son takes a bride. A new princess.
I am much older now, I have a family and a life that will not let me consumed as I once was...but I am intersted in it all nonetheless. How about you? Where will you be at 3 AM --- glued to your television set or sleeping soundly?
Happily!
Bev

We diverge on this point, I am sad to say. I am totally saturated with the media over-coverage. Was back in March. Can't wait for it to be over.
That being said, I do sincerely hope their fairy tale has a much happier and longer lasting ending than Diana's story did.
I'll be sleeping soundly while you ooh and aaah. Have fun :)
