It seems that everyone loves a wedding. It is estimated that more than 2 billion people around the world - via television and the internet video steam - listening watch the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton. People working in the small hours of the morning listening to. Others gathered for a "Royal Wedding Party". Why so many people would want to be a witness to the marriage of two people, that they don't even know?
The world was in need of this marriage. We were bombarded by an overall dark. Economic difficulties, devastation of extreme weather events of the wars. The joy and hope for the person every day offered by this marriage was absolutely necessary.
We are every day the "person". And Kate is one of ours. As a commoner, his family roots are not royalty. His childhood home had 4 rooms. More recently, she lived with her parents in the village of Bucklebury, population 2066. Kate is living the dream that so many young girls have - of a Princess. This fairy tale comes true.
The day of her wedding, Kate Middleton was the embodiment of what we all strive-dignity, serenity, beauty.
Great world issue before the big day was "what her wedding dress will look like." And she did not disappoint.
Her dress of satin, sleeves and bodice lace ivory by Sarah Burton, Director of creation for Alexander McQueen was a perfect mixture of classical, romantic and simple (but annoying step!). There were modern touches, a neckline lace "plunging" on a sweetheart, done with taste and modestly - neckline that is appropriate for a future Queen. It is certain to be influential in the design of the next coat.
His makeup was polite, but very natural, as was his hair down half up/half cup. It is a diminutive bouquet - Myrtle, Lily of the Valley, Jacinthe and some Sweet William flowers.
Marriages are naturally happy events, bringing together the friends and family in the ceremony and celebration. Marriage of will and Kate brought together the friends and family of the world.
This marriage gives us hope of a future better, the promise of a better world, a belief that magic is possible, as it moves closer us to the overall darkness. Perhaps not completely in a place where everything is perfect and wonderful and rosy, but in a place where we can be confident that something better is possible, even for a moment.
In the words of the prayer that William and Kate composed for their ceremony: "in the goodwill of each day, keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life."
