On the 29th of this month Prince William and Catherine Middleton will be married. It is my first royal wedding and I am very excited! When my mum and dad were little they used to have street parties and hang up triangle flags along their roads, I wish we were having one! It said on the news that people from all over the world will be watching the royal wedding, not just from the UK. The newspaper has the plan for the whole day in, the ceremony will be taking place at 11am.
Are you going to watch?
How exciting?!

This must be an exciting time for you. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the nuptials, but it still sounds like a fun time to be had by all.
Happy to meet you via the A-Z Challenge!
