What a weekend!!
It started off very happy on Friday with my sister's college graduation. It was a really bittersweet day because I was so happy to be with my family but I was really sad that my dad wasn't there. Another milestone spent without him really got me worked up.
However, it was a beautiful day and it was interesting to sit through a college graduation without being the one graduating.
I was exhausted after a long day on Friday so I came home, ran a few errands and then passed out around 9:30 AM. Hence why this blog post is coming to you on a Sunday afternoon.
Then, it was time for my Olympics. I woke up at 5 AM on Saturday morning to watch the wedding of the year -- the Royal Wedding.
I didn't do any royal wedding coverage here on the blog but that's why we're talking about it now. I was so excited and so emotional while watching the wedding. I had my tea and scones ready (and some coffee for the American in me) and I watched the first bi-racial woman marry into the Royal Family.
It was a simply magical day and my love for the Royal Family, especially Meghan and Harry (the Duke and Duchess of Sussex) has grown 10x.
Here are some of my favorite moments:

Here are some of my favorite moments:
- All the celebrities from Oprah to George Clooney to Spencer from Pretty Little Liars
- THE HATS. GIVE ME ALL THE FASCINATORS
- Princess Charlotte once again stole the show when she turned around to give one last wave to the crowd
- Meghan's dress reveal was insane. I loved her dress so much; it was simple, elegant and everything I could ever want. Also, the veil was everything.
- Meghan walking down the aisle was simply heart stopping. She looked like she was in a movie, a Disney movie to be specific.
- All the smiling, laughing and lovey-dovey eyes between the bride and groom
- That veil lift -- oh just strike me dead.
- The laughter throughout the church as Harry and Meghan recited their vows made my heart sing
- The kiss - that kiss was everything. It was a surprise and it was a beat or two too long which was wonderful
- The procession throughout the town of Berkshire was truly something out of a fairytale. It was amazing
- Her 2nd dress for the reception was jaw-dropping! It was beautiful!
After the royal wedding, I took a nap and then lounged around until it was time to head to the Mets game. It was really gross and rainy out but I had a great time at the game.
Now, it's time to round up my favorite articles about the Royal Wedding!
- A beautiful overview of Meghan's Givenchy dress
- Kate Middleton re-wore an Alexander McQueen outfit to make sure the spotlight was not on her
- Meghan's beauty look was simple, elegant, and is sure to be copied for years to come
- The Royal Wedding in photos
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a great week ahead!
