THE ROYAL WEDDING!!!
It’s the 29th of April 2011, and exactly 11am. The day the world stood still for Kate and William!! The Royal Wedding day..
The fairy tale wedding of a PRINCE and his Kate, even though people call Kate a commoner not very long now that her status is about to change forever.
It’s life’s many facets
It’s life’s many joys.
It’s life many happenings, A prince finds his queen.
It’s what I’d call the people’s very own wedding with people keeping vigil and all just to catch a glimpse of the bride and the groom all lined up on the streets that lead to the cathedral where the solemnization is going to take place, it can only be known as the “People’s very own wedding”
The Wedding ceremony has very many characters not with the queen mother and the charming prince Charles the prince’s father and his stepmother Camilla.
It’s the perfect day.
It’s the perfect city an all made in England wedding.
The actually ceremony starts exactly for 11am on the clock. The entire congregation made up of royalty, celebrities, state government top officials and the like all turned out nicely in their bespoke suits and skirt suits are all first seated until they all rise to sing the first hymn for the occasion titled; “Guide me o thy great Redeemer obviously to set the tone for the wedding and create a GOD feel atmosphere before the officiating Reverend for the occasion takes the pew.
As I scan the actually venue of the ceremony I see a sea of faces and graces and by the time you combine the people all littered outside and lining the venue you find what I would describe as ‘’great people, little people, married, singles, happy and sad people, and I guess best described as a place for every kind of people!!!
Not too long into the actually flow of events the very charming and lovely prince and now princess find their way to the front of the pew where they are left all by themselves to begin the journey of their married life as they begin to take the oaths of marriage as read forth by the officiating Reverend w hose name unfortunately I did not quite catch at the point of writing this piece because I was viewing and writing at the same time.
As it is the royal marriage oaths are taken by Prince William and Kate in front of the entire world and I will say that both Prince William and Kate felt all eyes poking at them whether out of joy, sadness or envy. I could feel their tension and anxiety as they went through the entire oath taking exercise which by the way did not take more than some minutes, but the scary thing about this oath taking exercise is that it is completely binding and it sets the tones of their lives forever, for better for worse.
The entire ceremony is just an hour but the consequences will last their entire lifetime, as I sit in my corner of the world somewhere in Lagos Nigeria in one of Lagos’s finest restaurant I cannot but wonder at the magnitude of the occasion, not just because the whole world is watching but because the whole world will watch this beautiful couples every movement for good or for bad for life.
It is the price the royals have to pay for being royals, at this point though a princess myself thank GOD that I am not in their heavier shoes, especially KATE’S or is it WILLIAM’S anyways anyhow I am happy being me!!!
Finally the exchange of vows!!
The royal blessings!!
The years of courting, the months of preparations. The count down by the world media and everyone and anyone who cares to know what is trending on the world stage.
It’s D-DAY!!! As the 1,900 guests sing along I cannot but wonder why there is so much camera friendliness between the cameraman and the most celebrated gay of our time, Sir Elton John!!!
The camera kept zooming in and out in his direction and at a point I wondered why ever the offensive camera man could not find someone else to focus on?
Life with its twists and turns. Sir Elton John made the list, I did not, wonder why? I wonder what it takes for a commoner to meet one of the most celebrated Princes and to court him diligently for 8years and still marry him? I will need to interview Kate when she becomes the duchess to find out that. Yes I heard that she would become a duchess and the prince will become a duke.
Ah an anthem is playing and I missed the title, or is it perhaps “GOD BLESS THE QUEEN” I am not sure thanks to the stupid distraction of a fly catcher in the restaurant where I am presently watching all this beautiful life drama unfold.
I must describe the amazing architectural grandeur of the Cathedral, its all simply breathtaking, and I am sure it must be even more stunning to be having ones wedding been conducted inside the cathedral. Well nobody can stop me from day dreaming? That’s one gift that GOD ALMIGHTY gave to everyone and I inclusive.
Aha that’s all for now. The ceremony is over, it took exactly one hour and I believe it must have been rehearsed again and again.
Today has been a day of great joy the royal family. I wonder why they chose today? I wonder?
Anyways I see the Queen in yellow, the king in red and black and the reverend conducting the whole church affair of the day in mostly white, with a touch of red and black, and of course the red carpet, how could I forget the red carpet, all strewn from one end of the cathedral right down to the pew area, because it’s a royal wedding, or because the state is picking up the bill or both, who knows?
Today everything is royal, pristine and precise. It’s a fairy tale kind of drama, not just the boy meets boy story, its of a larger scale and the characters are huge too, so the audience too is massive.
For now lets end our story telling here. It’s a fairy tale kind of tale for us the viewers all over the world, for Kate she is living her dream and for the Prince, life goes on, he is used to being a royal!!!
One day.
One earth.
One Prince.
One Kate.
One royal wedding.
One country.
England.
It’s the 29th of April 2011. The world stood STILL!!!!
