We all know it. We all watched it.
Yes, I am talking about The Royal Wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle.
I mean...where do I even begin?
This was a dream as a wedding planner to get up bright and early and watch. The flowers. The attire. THE DRESS. BOTH OF THEM! I had friends asking me if I was up watching and what I thought. Well, I'm here to tell you that, yes, I was up early, and, oh heck yeah, I was watching, and, oh heck yeah, it was literal hashtag wedding goals!
So what did I love so much?
Okay, first off, let's just take a pause to realize how adorable and in love these two are.
Literal goals, am I right?
As we wedding planner my absolute favorite thing is the way a couple looks at each other. The way they never break eye contact. The way they say "I love you" without even saying a word. Seeing two people so entranced with each other makes my heart smile.
So, for these two, their sweet looks and smiles got me the whole time.
And, of course, there's this one...
From having Prince Charles walk her down the aisle, so the love in each other's eyes, you'd think that would be enough to win this wedding planner over. Of course, it was, but I did not stop falling in love with this wedding there.
Which brings me to the cellist...
Not only did he play 'Ave Maria' with such grace and poise, but did y'all see that P-E-R-F-E-C-T floral wall he was behind?
Like seriously, did you see it?
GOALS.
I can't go on without mentioning Meghan's mom. Watching her watch her daughter become America's Royal story was enough to make me go through a box of tissues.
Seriously, simply amazing and touching.
And, what would the Royal Wedding have been if it weren't for Bishop Michael Curry and his amazing sermon. I truly cannot think of a more heartfelt and lovely sermon than his. Not only did he touch that wedding that day, but he touched us all.
Now what kind of wedding planner and writer would I be if I did not mention those sweet little ones that were a part of this historical day.
Let's not forget all of our favorite....
Last, but not least. The way Posh Spice and Daddy Beckham looked like they were fresh from arguing, and it has given us all something to talk about.
"Did you watch the Royal Wedding?"
"Oh yes, her dress was amazing!"
"Yes it was."
"....but did you see Victoria and David Beckham...yikes."
It was definitely a wedding that will be remembered and talked about for a long time to come. Harry and Meghan are so inspirational with their love, and I think we will be seeing a lot of Royal Wedding inspired ideas included in the future weddings to come.
