McVities biscuits, PG Tips, scones with English clotted cream and assorted jams for the Big Day. Instead of ringside in Westminster Abbey, we'll rise at 4 a.m. for breakfast tea for two and view the wedding of the prince and princess-to-be on television. No big deal for us since we get up at
5 a.m. every day for work. We won't be sleep deprived.
A tray makes our breakfast tea perfectly portable. (We'll be in our pajamas watching the Prince William and Kate Middleton nuptials.) The coffee pot has a timer and will start brewing at 4:00 a.m., so all we have to do is wake up when we smell the coffee!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
When my husband was in the Peace Corps in Montserrat, he purchased a booklet of stamps that were designed to mark the occasion of the Royal Wedding of H. R. H. The Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer. The designs were based upon Royal Yachts from the mid-seventeenth century to the present day. He has always had a special place in his heart for Princess Diana ;o)

Wow, Debbie! You've got it all scoped out for us. I'm just now beginning to get excited about THE wedding. Guess I've missed all the buildup, but seeing Joan Lunden interviewed on Fox News this morning got me thinking that "yes", it will be worth the rise. What fun!!
ReplyDeleteHave a super week.

You're all set for a fantastic morning! Although I'd love to be watching Roman Holiday, one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are all set! I don't think I will be getting up that early, but will join in later!! Mimosas sound good for the occasion, that way I can celebrate very early!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious way to watch the wedding! I'll probably just watch the recaps.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your lovely breakfast. I won't be watching, but I am sure there will be enough of it in the media like last time. Hope they have better results!
ReplyDeleteLove your tea idea, though I have a feeling I'll be just happy to keep my eyelids open!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Sweet Tea and Sunshine, come back any time!
Looks like you are all set!! Such a fun post. :) I will be traveling and have to watch the wedding a bit later.

I ate my goodies already! I guess I decided they wouldn't be coming the day after! Yours looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, I just instructed my techno 17 year old that he needs to TIVO it for me. I get up at six, so I don't think I will be getting up earlier.
Your tea tray looks perfect, Debbie! I was recently in Northern Ireland and everyone was all abuzz about the Royal Wedding, The entire UK has the day off! Prince William was born around the time my daughter was born, so I've always taken an interest in him and wish him a wonderful marriage.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this with us.. I will have to DVR this.. as I have bible study at 5am! I will watch what I can..Your morning tray is perfect. You've thought of everything.
ReplyDeleteYou are all set to watch the wedding of the decade...wish I were a tea drinker so I could toast the Royals...guess it will have to be with a cup of coffee! I am not sure if I will get up that early, but I do want to watch.
ReplyDeleteI am going to watch THE WEDDING at FOX NEWS. I do plan to wake up early and have me a cup of coffee and watch. We'll be watching Debbie and will be thinking of you. Thanks for this lovely post.

How fun! This looks like a charming wedding breakfast. My husband just rolls his eyes everytime something is said about the Royal Wedding. He's not an early riser either -- I'll just try to catch a few snipits before work with my "english" muffin and coffee.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the listing...I was trying to decide which station to watch but was alreading leaning toward BBC!
What a great idea to have your tray ready for the festivities! Great goodies...where do you get your British products? My husband is from England and orders from the internet.
I remember getting up early for Diana & Charles. Gotta hit the hay early tonight!!!
Have fun watching...can't wait to see her dress!
Your Blog got meexcited for the Event tomorrow! thanks, Sunny109
ReplyDeleteOh this is a tea fit for a queen!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for linking up.
Thanks for the breakdown on the wedding festivities. I figured that I could see it tomorrow morning when all the networks spend the day playing the ceremony over and over again. I love that you all will share a cup of tea and enjoy it together. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and cozy way to celebrate the wedding. Didn't see it I go to bed at eight. Need my beauty sleep lol.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks lovely :) Scrumptious and yet so pretty! Well done on it all! I would love for you to check out the tea party my mother-in-law threw if you have the time:

Happy weekend!
Hi Home from work and enjoying some tea watching the replay and reading you lovely blog. Very nice. sunny109
ReplyDeleteI watched it every bit...but I recorded the event and watched it the next morning.:) Loved every single minute of it. They are the most adorable couple and I wish them much more happiness than Will's mom and dad had.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, on the burlap wrapped plants for Mother's Day. My little mom is spending her Mother's Day, walking with Jesus..but I always give daughter and daughter in law something just to say what good moms they are. :))
