The Royal Wedding!

The Queen and Prince Phillip!
I just got back to my room after spending 27 hours at the Mall for the Royal Wedding!  It was absolutely amazing!  We got to the Mall at 11 on Thursday morning and it was already crazy!  We stood and watched the Today Show for a while before getting our camping area.  We were able to camp right outside of the Clarence House, which is where William and Harry spent the last night.  People were coming in and out all night.  At one point, we were sitting at our camp site when someone told us that David Cameron, the Prime Minister was walking around.  I ended up getting to shake his hand which was pretty cool.

Meeting Prince William!
Then, I had one if the highlights of my life!  Renae and I were walking around because it looked like someone famous was getting ready to leave Clarence House.  A police officer told us that we should stay where we were and not attract anymore attention to ourselves and not encourage people to come stand by us.  We tried asking him why but he only said that if we did that, we would be very happy.  So, we're standing there when all of the sudden, William and Harry walk out of the house and start shaking hands with the people outside.  I GOT TO MEET PRINCE WILLIAM!  It was awesome!  I got to see Harry, but didn't actually get to meet him.

We all slept on some blankets last night at our camp out.  It got a little cold, but our seats were totally worth it.  We got to see William and Harry leave, Charles and Camilla, the rest of the Queen's children, the Queen and Prince Phillip and then Kate and her dad leave for Westminster Abbey.  The service was broadcasts over load speakers everywhere so we could hear all of it and cheer when they said their vows!  Then, I got to see William and Kate in the carriage and then the Queen!  It was awesome!  What a perfect way to start winding down my time in London!

William and Kate!
