I'm not someone who makes a habit of following the Royal Family. I realize that by capitalizing their name, I must hold them in some sort of esteem but to me, they really are just like us. Let's take a moment and compare. I have a ring and so does Kate Middleton - except her ring is 18 carats (wtf) and was worn by Princess Diana. I was engaged to and eventually married a really cute guy. Kate might be marrying a prince but he's a prince with really, really big teeth. Bigger, in this case, is definitely not better. I win. Our wedding was shot by amazing wedding photog, Michelle Quance. Kate and Wills had engagement photos taken by some dude named Mario Testino. From what I hear, Michelle is WAY more fun. I bought my dress on the Danforth. Kate on the other hand, has had the world's top couturiers sketching up frothy visions of wedding gorgessity for her big day next April. It's rumoured that British designer, Ben Oldfield, has been chosen for the job.
I love fashion and I wish that designers would fight to dress me but aside from that, would you really want to switch places with Kate?! Imagine the pressure! Ooooh, but imagine the jewels and the yachts...oh, but the pressure would suck. Hmm...I do love her hair, though. Have you heard that the 'Kate' is the new 'Rachel'?

Yes she does have great hair...but i would too if i had someone to floof it for me! Speaking of "floof"... she should wear the Lhuillier... the slim designs are gorgeous but how often in your life do you get to wear a big floofy princess dress.... she is going to be a princess after all.
P.S HB Sarah!!
Hey Wills, why the long face? :)
That part about the teeth made me howl! It's exactly what I've been thinking, but would not have had the nerve to say.
BTW, your ring is just as nice.
