Around these parts, we are getting a bit excited about a certain Royal Wedding. From the day they were engaged, watching how Brits responded to Kate and William has been very interesting. It is certainly an event that we, as Americans, cannot quite fully grasp. The respect immediately given to the "future Queen" is foreign. Hearing others joke about her being "common" was quite hilarious as you are reminded that it is actually something that a Brit thinks about--that ever-so-important social standing. Royalty and the monarchy--something to Americans that belongs in a Disney movie or the dreams of little girls--is a reality here, and it commands respect, fascination, and in Kate's case--a bit of envy from millions of young women across the world! Stores even are capitalizing on the upcoming event with loads of commemorative items. Here are a few should you wish to have your own!

UGH. I am so jealous: 1 that you get to experience this madness up close and personal and 2 that I am not Kate Middleton (although I am sure the British media would have a field day with me...too awkward! hahaa)
