A reason to celebrate
Posted on
Today marks the day of the Royal Wedding, Prince William and Katherine Middleton get married. This may seem an odd thing for us to blog about on the Lilypad but its an amazing event and everyone loves a wedding dont they?
The Royal Family are one of the only British traditions that remain in our multicultural society and during a time when it can be frowned upon to be patriotic, it is refreshing to find the whole country enjoying the festivities and celebrations.
The government deemed today as a bank holiday which caused some controvosy within the working world, like how would this effect small businesses and should there be another short working week? Lets be honest, most people wont complain about the day off and you cant help but be swept up in the euphoria of this unique event.
We havent marketed wedding memorabilia on the Lilypad, there are so many amazing hand crafted options out there, together with mass produced replica gifts, that we thought we should stay with what we do best!
This post isnt about causing controvosy or dividing opinion its about celebrating true love. We all feel and demonstrate love differently and I suspect that I will be weeping into a tissue as we watch the ceremony today. My daughter and other half will roll their eyes at me but family is at the centre of what matters.
So whether your family are the Windsors or more like the Royal Family TV characters, remember to celebrate what matters to you today .... as well as that other event!!
