The Royal Wedding: The Newly Married Prince William and Princess Catherine

All eyes were definitely on England this morning with one of the world’s biggest weddings was taking place between Prince William and Kate Middelton.  The event drew an even bigger crowd, with an expected 200 million people watching, than when his father, Prince Charles married Princess Diana back in 1981.  Much of the couple’s popularity is due to the fact that they appear very down to earth and approachable, with Kate not being a member of nobility or royalty.  The couple also touched a lot of hearts when announcing their engagement it was revealed that William proposed with his mother’s engagement ring, as he wanted her to be a part of their special day.

When the couple first announced their engagement, a great deal of attention was focused on who would be designing the future princess’ wedding dress.  Some rumors even had the fashionista designing it herself.  While sitting at home this morning and watching the blessed event, I feel a universal gasp happened when Kate was seen for the first time.  Her Alexander McQueen dress, which was designed by Creative Director, Sarah Burton harkened back to the Grace Kelly era featuring a fitted lace bodice complete with lace sleeves and a dramatic v-neckline.  When it came time to accessorizing the gown, Middleton chose to keep it simple with a borrowed 1936 Cartier diamond tiara, which was a loaned gift from the Queen herself, which held her lace trimmed veil.  Again emphasizing understated elegance, Middelton wore her hair in loose curls, which helped to showcase the Robinson Pelham diamond earrings that were a wedding gift from her parents.  As is custom, the couple only exchanged one wedding band, which as crafted from Welsh gold and was given to William by his grandmother, the Queen, and will be worn by Kate.  William announced a few weeks ago that he would not be wearing a wedding band.

The crowd at Westminster Abbey was filled with bursts of color, as the large crowd of guests chose to ring in Spring with bright and vibrant outfits complete with fashionable hats.  Queen Elizabeth was perhaps the most boldly dressed, wearing a yellow Angela Kelly primrose dress with matching primrose overcoat.  I have to say that two of my favorite hats were worn by the Prince’s cousins, Eugenie and Beatrice, whose Philip Treacy hats definitely had a life of their own.  Although the whole world was watching, my favorite parts of the wedding were definitely the small moments and personal touches that the couple was able to share.  When Kate arrived at the altar with her dad, William was able to lighten the mood by joking with his new father-in-law that the event was a small gathering of their closest family and friends.  I also thought it was sweet when William whispered to Kate that she looked beautiful.  Moments that the latest Princess Di would have been very proud of.

The streets of London were lined with cheering fans and onlookers who wanted to take part in such an historic event, while also catching a glimpse of the newly married couple.  The couple was all smiles and waves as they rode in the traditional carriage from the Abbey to Buckingham Palace.  Once at Buckingham Palace, the couple emerged onto the balcony made famous by William’s parents to share their first kiss as husband and wife.  After sharing a short peck, the couple waved to the crowds who erupted into a joyous uproar which encouraged the couple to partake in a second, slightly longer kiss.  From the fashion and fine jewelry, to the exchanging of vows and wedding band and of course the HATS, the Royal Wedding between Prince William and the newly ennobled Duchess of Cambridge will definitely remain one of the great fairytale moments of our time.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, no literally less than a week away, it has many couples wondering how to spend the holiday.  There are a variety of ways in which people celebrate the holiday.  Some couples, who are clearly too cynical for their own good, view the Valentine’s Day as a day solely created by retailers to ensure another day of profitable returns for their companies.   Well we say BOO to those couples!  Why not designate the fourteenth of February to be the one day of the year when you can go all out in expressing how much you love that special someone in your life?!  Being in love makes you want to scream from the rooftops how in love you are and how lucky you are to have found that special person to spend your life with.

Whether you’re the low key kind of Valentine’s Day couple or like to go over the top by a having a pink gorilla show up at your loved one’s work to deliver flowers, there’s a gift out there for you.  Having long been considered the most popular gift that is given on Valentine’s Day, you really can’t go wrong with a bouquet or red roses.  Instead of sending the generic florist card that cuts you off after a certain number of letters, why not get creative and make your own card to go along with them?  Then there is the ever so popular box of Godiva chocolates.  If you’re looking to go outside of the traditional Godiva golden box, a great way to add your own spin on giving such a decadent gift is to get inspired and become you’re own Martha Stewart by baking your own batch of cupcakes or brownies.  I mean, who has the will power to say “no” to homemade baked goods?!

As the old saying goes, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” and what better occasion to surprise you’re sweetheart with something that’s going to last past Valentine’s Day than with a sparkly new piece of jewelry?!  Nothing says “I Love You” quite like a gorgeous pair of diamond stud earrings or a stunning diamond bracelet, which will make her think of you every time she wears them.  Since Valentine’s Day is considered to be the most romantic holiday throughout the year, why not take the leap and propose with a diamond engagement ring?  That would surely be a Valentine’s Day never to forget!  If you’re already married, a great and sentimental gift that would surely be a hit would be a new diamond eternity band.  Whether you’ve been married for a year or 50 years, a great way to celebrate such a day would be a diamond band for her.  Who knows, she could even surprise you with a new wedding band of your own.

With Cupid getting ready to take his aim at the millions of in love couples in a few days, what better way to celebrate in such a “lovey dovey” kind of day than to help out the finalists in the Ritani Reluctant Groom-to-Be Contest on Facebook?  Simply “like” Ritani on Facebook at RitaniDesigns then click on the Ritani Ring Contest Vote Facebook page to cast your vote for the story and couple that captures your heart and help to make their dreams of getting married come true?  The top two couples with the most votes will each win a diamond engagement ring.  Be sure to spread the Valentine’s Day cheer and help a couple to create a Valentine’s Day that they will never forget?!  You better hurry, voting ends on February 13th and the winners are announced on Valentine’s Day!
