Royal Wedding Countdown: The intellectual post

Thomas Jefferson once declared that he could not live without books.  And considering the countless numbers of books about how to plan a wedding, attend a wedding, crash a wedding, and make your own knitted effigies of a royal wedding, weddings can't survive without books either.  We need a guidebook people.  And let's keep it simple, shall we?

Over 60 celebration stickers!  Something to help keep you awake at 3am when the ceremony starts.  Well, 3am if you're in the U.S.  Yes, I realize many of you are in the UK.  Lucky you.  Stop gloating.  You don't want to turn pink like Little Miss Princess.  The show-off.  I bet that's not even a real invitation.  Who labels their invites like that anyway?

Royal Wedding Countdown: Cup 'o tea

Tea is bad for you, so don't drink it.  Herbal tea can apparently be really lovely.  Not for me, blech.  But I've heard other people like it.  And no royal wedding tea party would be complete without William & Kate:

The biggest question I have here is why is there money stuffed into Kate's dress?  What exactly are they implying?  Kate's family is already rich, so I can only assume the artist is quite bitter about not being in the teacup herself.

I know what you're thinking: "Be still my beating heart!"

Royal Wedding Countdown: Knit Your Own!

WeirdoWatcher Lisa R. was browsing the shelves of her local library when she found this little gem:

It has Yorkies!  And hats for everyone!  Can you imagine actually knitting this?  Can you believe her local library purchased it and got it out on the shelves so fast?  My favorite part?  The engagement announcement figures:

Check out the little ring!

Royal Wedding Countdown: Your ticket into the festivities

It's only NINE days till Prince William marries Kate Middleton, so book your flight now.  I have figured out a way for you to slip into Westminster Abbey and attend the royal wedding in person!  Just slip on this clever mask!

You're the Queen!  You'll waltz right in.  Might want to do something about the eyes though.  They're a bit freaky.  Okay, a lot freaky.  Freaky like this music video I can't believe anyone ever thought was a good idea:
(keep watching till at least 45 seconds in, then you can skip to 3:25 for the full creepiness)

Seriously, why isn't she running from the crazy eyed people?  

Weirdos.

You caught me.

I'm a fan of the United Kingdom.  And they're about to have a big event.  Their biggest social event since the early eighties.  If you've been living under a rock, Prince William is marrying his long-time girlfriend, Kate Middleton, on April 29th.  They're having a national holiday, and enthusiasts are planning parties, even block parties, to celebrate.  Some people are more lackadaisical about it, but they're just party poopers.  I've been trolling for fun mementos for the party I hope to host.  I'm not a royalist; I just think it's fun.  One can carry it a bit too far...but it would be so funny to have a life-size cardboard cut-out of the couple at the party!  Right? right?  Are you judging me?

Maybe I'll just have to settle for the paper dolls.

The big day is only a month away now.  I'm sure we can find more awesomeness  ;)
