On May 19th, I, like many Americans, woke up at the crack of dawn to turn on the TV. Why? The Royal Wedding of course! From the fashion and the guest list, to the ceremony and then the procession, there's just so much to discuss.

Even though the ceremony only lasted an hour, these 5 moments will surely last a lifetime.

1. Meghan Markle walking down the aisle

Meghan Markle looked like a vision walking down the checkered aisle in a simple, elegant Givenchy dress topped with a stunning diamond tiara given to her by the Queen herself. Besides the obvious, let's talk about the fact that the mini bridesmaids and pageboys were the cutest thing EVER!

I couldn't help but think they looked like her little ducklings when they were walking behind her down the aisle of St. George's Chapel.

2. Prince Harry seeing Meghan for the first time

The lip bite, the smile, the part where he literally said "you look amazing," where do I begin? It was all just too much for my heart to handle. A tear was most definitely shed.

3. The Vows

If you've been on Twitter or Instagram lately you've probably seen the picture of Meghan Markle staring at Prince Harry with those wide, brown eyes. If you ever doubted their relationship, that doubt was washed away if you watched them say their vows.

The way they looked at each other was the stuff movies are made of.

4. Prince Harry getting emotional when they sang "Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer"

Prince Harry wears his heart on his sleeve, and that's why he's so universally loved. It is no secret that the Prince had a very close relationship with his late mother, Princess Diana. It is also no secret that he suffered a great deal when she passed away.

This song was played at her funeral and was a reminder that she was with her son on his special day. Prince Harry quickly wiped his eye and nose at the conclusion of the song, but if you caught it, it was quite touching.

5. The First Kiss

The kiss. The smiles after. This is the content I signed up for. What a perfect end to a fairytale wedding.

If this article confused you because you're the only person on this earth that didn't see the wedding...please go watch it. I guarantee your skin will be clearer, your stomach will be flatter, and your life will be longer, that's how magical it was.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
