FECTEAU: Royal wedding brings back dreams of being a princess
My heart, along with millions of other girls, will be crushed on Friday when Kate Middleton walks down the aisle to meet some guy named Prince William at the altar.
It’s a known fact that many girls' dream is to grow up and become a princess. So who wouldn’t be jealous of what people say is an average girl marrying into royalty?
Although I envy Kate becoming a real-life princess, not just playing as Princess Peach in "Mario Kart," I definitely am overwhelmed with royal fever.
The media’s royal-wedding crush has flooded every television station and print media, rapidly spilling out details as they are confirmed. I won’t lie by saying that I haven’t followed the craze from the proposal until now.
Critics talk about how unimportant a wedding on the other side of the world is to Americans, but why not have something exciting to look forward to for once?
When American news stations are constantly telling us of tragic events and disheartening stories, why wouldn’t we want to hear something more pleasant, like details of the future Princess Kate’s dress?
After William’s proposal, entertainment networks jumped on the royal wedding train stirring excitement of many Americans.
From people sending in videos to earn trips to London to stores selling memorabilia T-shirts, post cards, tote bags and even tea cups, the royal-wedding craze is everywhere.
The Lifetime television network even produced their spin of the couple’s relationship by premiering the "William and Kate" movie last week.
Maybe it’s just the fact that it is way more fun to daydream about the royal wedding than it is to study for finals.
Or that it really is one of the biggest events of my generation.
Either way, April 29 is going to be a day in which history is made, and I can say that I witnessed it live, on my residence hall room TV, of course.
Thirty years ago, my mom, who was 18 at the time, witnessed Princess Diana marry Prince Charles. Now my 18-year-old self will witness the biggest wedding since then.
All of this buzz of Kate becoming in line for the throne really makes me want to bust out my "Pretty Pretty Princess" board game from when I was little and pretend for the thousandth time that I am indeed royalty too.
However, I guess there is still a chance to maybe put away that game for good.
I heard Harry is single.
