I started off the day with no interest in the wedding at all. Maybe it was because of the overwhelming headlines everywhere that put me off it, but as I switched onto Youtube for a brief glimpse at 10 in the morning I was immediately transfixed.
It drew me in and I became ever more attached to this Wedding. I realised that it was something that everyone in Britain should watch, regardless if you are Black, White, Chinese or any other ethnic race, this shit was important. Judging from the camera shots quite a lot of people were camping beside the procession route, and I felt proud that they did. In many ways I regretted I didn't meet up with a few friends to do this, it really was a once in a lifetime opportunity. So as the cameras shot many angles of the crowd, I was glowing inside that they donned the Union Jack flag with pride. It really made me smile.
Not only that, but I grew to adore William and Kate, or should I say Catherine. Let's be honest, she was a fitty, and especially on a wedding day, growwlllll. The wedding became instantly important in many people's mind, I gathered this from the changing views of friends and followers alike on Twitter. It was a nice thing to see.
It made me think also, we shouldn't just misuse this bank holiday for our individual leisures, because this day was given to us to celebrate the marriage of two very important people. The ceremony was glorious, the carriages were beautiful, the mood must have been delightful despite being a cloudy day. But once again, I do feel that it has been a wonderful day for everyone, and one of those rare events where everyone in this glorious country feels a sense of pride. I, for one, am proud I am British.
