Royal Wedding

Just like the rest of the planet, Spain was pretty excited about Kate and William's wedding. I had an exam that morning so I missed the beginning, but I watched the second half with Ana, my host mom and we drank wine and ate sweets to celebrate! When my host dad came home (during the balcony kisses), he made so much fun of us for being so into it, lol!
Anyway, during all the boring parts of the wedding (i.e. almost the whole thing), Ana told me all about Spain's own big royal wedding back in 2004, between Prince Felipe and Letizia Ortiz. Letizia was a journalist (periodista, in Spanish), leading to headlines like "¿Una princesa periodista?" when they were dating and engaged. Apparently the royal family was against the relationship at the beginning since Letizia was divorced (they had disapproved of his previous girlfriend since her parents had been divorced, so you can only imagine how shocking Letizia's situation was for them). But they got married anyway - just like a Hollywood movie!

Also, pressure is on for Will and Kate to produce offspring as ADORABLE as Letizia and Felipe's daughters, Leonor and Sofía. Here's a video of the princesses after Spain won the world cup last summer:
