Covering the 'Royal' Wedding (S)

    APRIL 29TH. THE BIG DAY!
 It's nice to know that my wife and I
will share an anniversary date with Britain's
Prince William and Princess Kate!
 It's not likely we share too many other
things.
 The Royal wedding includes a one and
a half mile parade route to Westminster
Abby with a huge military guard...including
a Royal Air Force fly over.
 We exchanged vows at a church in Mountaintop.
 I don't remember seeing anybody in uniform
although there may have been a policeman in
the area checking for speeders. As far as
a fly over ....it is possible that a passenger
plane (it would have been Allegheny Airlines
back then) may have passed overhead on its
way to Avoca.
 William and Kate will welcome some 600
guests at the post wedding reception at
Buckingham Palace. Later there will be a
dinner reception for about 300 family
friends. That's also at the palace. It's been
around since the 1700's!
 We had a small group made up of friends
and family at a small area catering hall that
was gone just a couple of years later!
 It was torn down to make way for the
Cross Valley Expressway!
 The Royal couple will probably stay
with tradition and spend at least part of
their honeymoon at the Queen's 50,000 acre
Balmoral Estate in Scotland.
 When we left our reception I asked my
bride which way she wanted to go. She
pointed north...so that's the way we went!
  While we didn't have all the network
coverage afforded William and Kate we can
boast, for those of you 30 or older, that
the late Paul Harvey carried news of our wedding
on his nation wide ABC Radio Network
broadcast.
  Let's just hope the newlyweds share the
same true love that allows Leona and I to
mark our 42nd anniversary on the day they
begin their new live together!
  To them, and all of you, I hope all of
your NEWS is good!
