Good morning royal watchers and blog readers! Today is the big day for Prince William and Catherine Middleton and here in Aiken, MFK (my friend Kathy) is hosting a Royal Wedding Breakfast event. She has worked all week to be ready to host the Aiken location (Buckingham, Southeast??) of the Royal Wedding. Rumor has it that we will be enjoying some of the same amenities as the wedding guests at Buckingham Palace - or "Buck House" as the late Queen Mum liked to refer to the palace.
My plan is to update this blog post all morning to ensure that you stay up to date on the Royal happens here in Aiken. I am supposed to arrive at Kathy's house around 6:00 am. I think Kathy thought if I could get up for the E2 launch, I should be able to get up for the Royal Wedding Breakfast and Celebration.
I bet you are wondering what you might expect to see at Kathy's Royal Wedding Breakfast?? Well every woman attending a royal wedding needs head cover. Of course royalty will be sporting diamond and other precious gemstone tiaras, but the vast majority of the female guests - friends, family, celebrities, dignitaries, etc will be wearing hats or facinators. You can expect to see something appropriate in the way of head wear here in Aiken.
When attending a royal wedding you can also expect to see fine linens, china, silver and crystal. The same hold true for our venue here in Buckingham, Southeast! You can expect that Kathy will "put on the dog" for us and pull out her best silver, china, linens, etc.
When attending the royal breakfast, one would expect lovely food. I am not going to reveal more right now, but I am going to tell you that you can expect to see some fun and surprising food items at Kathy's Royal Wedding Breakfast.
Drop back by regularly today for updates on Busy with the Cricky's and The Laker Scrapbook Guild's morning adventures at MFK's Royal Wedding Breakfast and Celebration. I will be taking my laptop, camera and video camera to make sure that you feel like you were "almost" there with us!!!

8:00 AM update:
Kathy had a breakfast buffet for us: English muffins, jams, bacon, tomatoes, and strawberries and clotted cream. Our beverage choices included orange juice, champagne, mimosas, and coffee.
Here were are, in our glory (and PJs), modeling our facinators that Kathy and her sister Kimberly made for us.
Our happy hostesses and Minnie the poodle, all wearing their Royal Wedding facinators.
Kathy found the recipe for Prince William's groom's cake from a link provided by The Today Show and made this for us. We are currently all sugared up on this fabulous cake. We all completely understand why this is William's favorite cake. The cake is like eating a large candy bar.
Here in Aiken there we have a British store called The Curiosity Shop. It is a wonderful store and I shop there for quilts, hats. scarves, Dr. Who toys (!), Beatles items, etc. They also sell British foods and that is where Kathy found many of the ingredients for the cake. The cake was completely worth the effort!
