I was nine years old.Giddy with excitement over the gorgeous dress, the 25 foot train, the jewels, the beautiful cathedral, the cascading bouquet of flowers, the 3,500 guests, the pageantry, the glass carriage, the fairy tale.
A prince and a princess.
On July 29, 1981 along with an estimated 750 million other people, I sat glued to the television in an airport (probably on a layover some where returning to Karachi, Pakistan from being on summer holidays in the states) watching the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana.
I'm 38 years old now and just as giddy about happily ever afters and fairy tales.
If you need me today, I will be watching Kate Middleton marry Prince William.
I'm excited, but I won't be setting my alarm for 3 AM, thanks to TiVo!
