Who doesn't love a royal wedding? With headlines as they are today - all gloom and doom - it's nice to step into a bit of the fairytale princess world, even if just for an evening. My friend and I had been discussing for months how we were going to watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wed.
We were delighted when the British Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan scheduled a royal party to view the event live. One of our big challenges is how to watch events live. The Olympics become a medal winning event just in figuring out how to watch NBC coverage with a VPN in the correct time zone. It's exhausting sorting it all out. So this opportunity allowed us to simply anticipate. It was great fun following news stories leading up to the wedding. How do they pick the flowers? Who makes the dress? What are the customs and traditions with such an event? It gave us weeks of conversation topics.
We wore cocktail dresses in patriotic colors and fascinators on our heads. Every detail had been taken care of with royal pride. We had such fun, I can't wait until the next royal wedding, but I'll have to wait for the next generation to grow up. In the meantime, royal babies are just as fun to follow.
