The Royal Wedding: [noun]- Prince William & Catherine Middleton, Friday 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey

Last week me and my friends Andy, Hannah and Annie were some of the crazy people sitting outside of Buckingham Palace from six in the morning to get a glimpse of the Royal Family members.  The five a.m. wake up was entirely worth it! I saw the Queen, Camilla, the back of Kate Middleton's head and William.  The atmosphere was amazing, it was like being at a sporting event but better because there was this amazing guy in drag, he was all dressed up and wearing a tiara.  When reporters (he got interviewed a lot) asked her what his name was, she would say Audrey Hepburn. Also, him and her friends were seriously prepared, they had a whole picnic table at their disposal and it conveniently folded up into a briefcase once they were done with it.  However, even though we ourselves were entirely unprepared seating wise, people who had camped out the night before had just abandoned their tent so we sat on that instead of the grass which was pretty convenient.  For those of you who have been to Buckingham Palace, we were sitting right outside the Australian Gate. If your standing right in front of the Queen Victoria memorial, looking at Buckingham Palace, we were just to the left.  Seeing the balcony kiss was not quite as successful due to the fact that it was absolute insanity but I did have a nice view of Kate's parents (no offense Kate's parents, but definitely the least exciting people to see).

Trying not to go crazy while waiting.

 Pretty hats

 Okay so this picture is massive because they only way to see Will (and kind of Kate) is for the image to be huge.  They are in the carriage (duh) in the bottom right corner and they are kind of blurry.  Pretty cool, right?

 I have no good pictures of the kiss, only pictures of the gate in front of Buckingham, so instead here's a picture of the insane crowd (look at how disgruntled they all look hahaha) and..

 A picture of my feet.  Not quite as popular as Will and Kate but they usually get me from point a to point b so I like 'em. 

The rest of the weekend was also a lot of fun.  Andy left us on Friday to continue her travels else where but Annie, Hannah and I went to see Legally Blond: The Musical on Saturday night which was AMAZING.  I highly suggest you watch the below video. 

The rest of the weekend we went to a variety of markets: Notting Hill's Portobello Street Market, Camden Market, and Brick Lane.  So the only reason I think it's okay for me to do this is because I usually talk about how crazy I am on here so I think this once I can make myself look a little bit cool.  When we were walking near Brick Lane a girl asked to take a picture of the three of us for her fashion blog and it's a really cute post so you should probably go here.

The next couple of weeks are going to be filled with studying for exams and writing essays so unfortunately I will have nothing of interest to post for a while but once I'm done exams I'm going to Edinburgh so I shall write a post at the end of May!
