Countdown to the Royal Wedding

Prince William and Kate Middleton will wed next month on April 29th!

I know, I'm a bit obsessed. Princes and soon-to-be princesses are just so - you know, royal. I'm counting down like I'm actually attending when really I'll be here in Scottsdale with my alarm set for 3am. Fun fact: London is 7 hours ahead of Scottsdale right now, but with daylight savings coming up this month in England, we'll have an 8 hour difference again soon (I only know this because my husband travels there so often). Another fun fact: daylight savings in the U.K. is called "summer time" - cute, huh? And since the wedding day has not been declared a national holiday here in the states (boo!) I'm thinking I'll need to drive through Starbucks on the big day before taking on my 27 firsties. The trenta size should do it:

It's rumored that Miss Middleton will be wearing Alexander McQueen (now headed by Sarah Burton). I love that Kate's designer is a secret, but I wonder if she's really going to go in such an eclectic direction. Apparently she liked the McQueen bridal design worn by a distant royal relative:

Kate seems a bit too conservative and classic for this type of dress, but either way, I can't wait to see what she chose!
