JU5T MARR1ED

The Royal Wedding yesterday brought a genuine, salty tear to my eye. And made me want to get married and have a massive wedding. (My parents have been advised to start saving. Just in case.) These are my favourite images of the day:

Images from the Daily Mail 

William drove his bride from Buckingham Palace to Clarence House in his Dad's treasured Aston Martin.  According to ever-reliable source the Daily Mail, it was William's idea to drive it and Harry 'snuck in' to decorate it. Oh, Harry, you little (ginger) scamp! 

If yesterday's wedding didn't move you and/or you were one of the few who constantly updated your Facebook status making a point that you weren't watching it, then I can't be friends with you. YOU HAVE NO SOUL.

WILL-YUM AND CHEESE-KATE

Best Royal pun thus far goes to the English Cheesecake Company (because cheesecakes are very English) for their commemorative dessert. Describing it as 'a crunchy chocolate biscuit base with an edible milk chocolate Union Jack and two beautifully initialled love hearts - surrounded with heaps of milk and dark chocolate hearts' it sounds bloody delicious. I'll take a hefty slice.

And whilst I love cheesecake, I do actually prefer regular cheese. Especially if it's melted onto a pizza, which is where the next pizza memorabilia (geddit?) comes in. Papa John's worked with a food artist (best job ever?) to create an edible treat featuring the nation's (current) favourite sweethearts. Don't know about you but I fancy a bite of Kate. Mostly because she looks more vegetarian than Will. Check out that veil of mushrooms. Mmmmm...

Can't buy this, no no, can't buy this.

And last but not least, the Royal Wedding Pez dispensers. Yes, they exist. Not for you though. They were auctioned off last week. For £8200. If I had that kind of money I'd have definitely snapped them up. Maybe. Probably. Probably not actually.

I'll have a Pimms tomorrow in honour of the blushing bride and balding groom. Congrats yeah?

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME

Now I'm more of a Harry kinda girl but I'll still be after one of these mugs come the big day. Get yours here.

WOOL-IAM AND KATE

When a press release plopped into the office today for this bad boy, I nearly had a fit of joy.


However, what this image doesn't show (and what the image on my stupid phone which won't upload [fuck yooooooou T-Mobile] does show) is the whole extended family immortalised in wool - yes, it also includes patterns for the Queen, Phillip, Harry, Charles, Horseface and even the Corgis! Don't hyperventilate but there's also a customisable pattern so you can knit yourself into the ceremony! Oh. My.

Oh look, here comes the blushing bride and her 'so much potential but you had to be a Royal' husband!

I die. Pre-order yours now as it's not out until March. WHY, Ivy Press, whhhhhhhhhy?
