What a Party! Royal Wedding Redux

We were just talking about making our parties for Earth Day bigger and better. Today, Britishers showed the world how a celebration is done. I love their party theme, too: Royal Wedding. How'd they think of it?

Almost a million people went to the party. The decorations were terrific. Even the sun came out on cue. Everybody's costume was wonderful, whether their style was splendiferous, patriotic or pagan. From old to young and from courtier to commoner, the Queen's subjects all tarted up.

The staid British, whom even Canadians regard as restrained, enjoyed a shining moment of fun. Check out this scrumptious tie on a distinguished wedding guest leaving Westminster Abbey.

These boys look like they're having a hoot in their royal outfits, which I hope to see soon in costume shops everywhere.

The event was a great, big family day as much as anything. Kids, parents and grandparents – on the balcony and in the crowd – enjoyed an unforgettable day together.
