{Personal} Pre-wedding Week

As we get ready to kick off our 2011 wedding season, wedding bells are literally EVERYWHERE.

Oh yes, I'm going to talk about THAT wedding. It's a little affair involving two people named William + Kate. Perhaps you've heard of them?


These photos are by Mario Testino. His work is simply insane. I love it.

Ok, ok, ok, why the heck am I talking about this HERE? This isn't some supermarket gossip rag.

I guess I can't help but think back to the week before my own wedding. There was some stress and a bit of chaos about an item being shipped to me from Italy and hoping it arrived in time (it did; my blood pressure normalized; all was right in the world).

There's chaos. There's ALWAYS chaos.

But, add this on top of your wedding week:


A televised marathon of wedding/royal-wedding related previews.

And heap on the knowledge that there is an anticipated crowd of 2 billion (yes, BILLION) viewers worldwide for this blessed nuptial (as well as a live broadcast in Time's Square).

Girls, I know things are chaotic and busy before your wedding, but we all have it easier than our girl Kate. Seriously.

Pour yourselves a glass of champagne, find some sumptuous bubble bath and take a minimum of 30 minutes to relax. Give yourself the princess treatment, because even if your name isn't Kate, you are still goddess on your wedding day.

I completely agree. This poor girl. I can't imagine. I was lucky on my wedding day. My largest stressor was that I missed the cheese platter during cocktail hour due to photos. Tragic, I know.
