The Royal Wedding

So, I'm am not much of a Royal fan.  It's not that I'm against them in any way I just have never been interested in them enough to really care.  I did know that Prince Harry was getting married to an American actress but really that was about all I knew.  Oh and I knew that Harry's older brother William recently had his third child, a boy, who happened to be born on Benjamin's birthday.  Several friends mentioned that otherwise I wouldn't have had a clue.
Well, my new friend Juli (from Marty's positive parenting class) is REALLY into the royals. She decided to throw a Royal Wedding viewing party.  My friend, Fionnuala, was going too. How could I say no.  I kind of wanted to as it really isn't my
thing but I figured it was just an excuse to hang out with friends. 
We all brought some food and it was a lovely spread of yummy food and the BEST cupcakes I have ever eaten.  Some bubbly and then we all watched as the wedding. 
Juli, the hostess, nearly in tears
with her fascinator firmly in place. 
It was hysterical as I very infrequently would ask an apparently really obvious question about one of the Royals.  I really hadn't a clue who most of them were and certainly not their ages, children's names, ages, etc, etc.  Juli was a walking Royals encyclopedia. 
She even had a "fascinator" Learned something new other than just Royal trivia.  The little head things that people where in Britain are called "fascinators" and are meant to fascinate... thus the name.  Who knew?!?
 I'm sure it is much like attending a Super Bowl Party when you know nothing about the game or the teams that are playing.  Sadly, or happily, I know MUCH more about football and most of the teams in the NFL than I know about the Royals 😄
All in all a nice, sunny afternoon with friends, even if it really wasn't "my thing"
