Gorgeous photos. The only thing I would change about it I would have put Pippa by Kate. 
I love Will & Kate! The dress is a dream. Very traditional.

@dana.
137km depth ? It's very deep, so you're completely safe, I think. But I also think you might feel a bit nervous about the shake when you're not well and fine.
Please take a rest until you see the doctor in Bucharest, my dear dana. I'm sure you'll feel better soon !
@Mel
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting these beautiful pictures! I watched the wedding on tv, at work! It was like a wonderful dream!
So elegant in its simplicity, but so refined and grand at the same time!
I like this beautiful young couple, you can see love in their eyes, they match together so well! Wish them to be happy!
@Ekaterina
You're right, we are completely safe! As I said, the earthquake was not a big one. We only got scared, knowing what has happened in Japan!
Today I have the day off bc we celebrate The International Youth Day! And I'm resting! lol
Thank you for your warm words and for your concern! You're very kind!
Scandinavian Symbolic Star! I like it!:))
Wish you a beautiful spring day, my dear Ekaterina! Rub you little sister's belly for me, please!:))) Grrrr!
@ALL
Have a great day and a wonderful new week! And please, send me some sunbeam, here's raining...
Love you!

@Mel
ReplyDeleteCongratulation to Emily!
She looks very much exited, because it was her day!
Many thanks for the great wedding pictures, Mel. Everything looks like from a fairy tale, and many thanks especially for the cake pics!
May I try a bit of the Truffle cake, that one looks sooo good!!
@All
Do you know that William & Kate hired Chef Anton Mosiman to prepare the Royal wedding dinner. You know, he is Swiss, therefore I am a bit proud! LOL!
Here I found some details about the wedding dinner, wine, drinks, etc.
Of course some moving stories, for example Princess Diana are not missed!

Thats the end, or better said the beginning!!!

@Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the links!!!! As Aksel uses to say: the images speak more than thousands of words!!!
You're right, this wedding was like one from a fairy tale; and this is not the end, but the beginning of a beautiful and-I hope and I wish-a very happy life for them!
Kisses and hugs!
I think the my blogs & ALS don't like me anymore. :-( I post comments & then they disappear.
ReplyDelete@Corinna The dress was just beautiful. On the today show this morning they had knock-offs of Kates' & Pippas' dresses. I foresee a lot of brides in dresses like Kates' or even Pippas'.
@Ekaterina LOL Scandinavian Symbolic Star. Love it!
@Dana You had an earthquake too! Was there any damage? I watched the wedding when I came home from school. I love my DVR.
@Nicoletta It was a very fairy tale wedding. Thanks for the links. I loved the kisses. The first one you blink & you missed it.
@Everybody For my final paper in college comp I have to write about symbolism/traditions for holidays or special occasions. There are so many to choose from. I would like to know what symbolism/traditions for holidays or special occasions are your favorites or most memorable.
BREAKING NEWS
ReplyDeleteSunday I go to Bucharest bc Monday at 7:30 am I have to be at the hospital!!!!
I'm already nervous, mostly bc of the surgery, though I don't know yet if I need a surgery! Haha!
Wish you all a wonderful day, my Ladies!
Love you!
@Dana *hugs* Don't be nervous, everything will be ok. I hope you don't have to have surgery. Maybe they will know of a different way to fix you. *crosses fingers*
ReplyDelete@Mel
ReplyDeleteSorry for not answering about symbols/traditions, because I have no good idea!
Have a great day, enjoy the school & have fun!
@Dana
ReplyDeleteWish you all the very best Dana!!!
Keep also my fingers crossed that you do not need a surgery, because any surgery is a "big step".
Hope so much they can give you other medicaments to get much better soon, Dana!
Have a good time until then, and don't be nervous. Nobody will convince you for the surgery, unless you have already a strong tendency to do it!!
Take care, my dear Dana!!!!
Love you!
@All
ReplyDeleteMy tiny, tiny breaking news of today are:
We go to Italy, Lago di Guarda and Meran!
Have got so much inspired from Corinna that I could not resist!! We go for 4 days, but it seems we will have temperatures like in Summer, around 27 degrees!
So the question, short sleeves or long sleeves is from the table!! HaHa
Have a good time, my dear ladies!!
Hugs & Kisse!
@Mel & Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteThank you, I try to be brave!:)) But I can't help being nervous!!He!
Love!
@Nicoletta
Your breaking news is not tiny at all; considering the distance, your journey is more important than mine! lol
Wish you a nice and safe travel, beautiful weather and a lot of fun there! Hope you'll catch a good tan!
Unfortunately I'll not be here when you'll come back, to find out details about your trip to Italy!
Enjoy all the beautiful things you'll meet there!
Kisses and hugs!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteas for the breaking news :
OK, I see you're in Bucharest on Sunday, and have to wake up quite early on Monday.
I cross fingers tight for you, my dear dana.
Will you be back home after seeing doctor on Monday or not ? I ask you, bc you say you're not in Campina when Nicolettchen will be back from Italy .
btw, how do you know she likes being rubbed her belly by me !? You're always amazing !
Just feel relax, dana. I'm sure you'll know the best way.
Hugs & Kisses !!!
@Nicoletta.
Thank you ! Thank you ! for the links !
although I have not checked all yet, bc I've been busy. But I think those are nice to look even after some days !
and, congrats to Anton Mosiman !
and, congrats to your travel to Lago di Guarda and Meran, Nicolettchen ! My recommendation is the sleeveless. I think you take a thin jacket with you, bc the temperature in the early morning & in the evening my not be 27. But the sleeveless during the day is comfortable.
Hope you enjoy Italy, my dear Nicoletta !
Kisses & Hugs !
@Mel.
the same as Nicolettchen. I tried to post some, but our symbols/traditions are so complicated to explain. Furthermore those things have disappeared in Japan for recent years.
What symbol did you choose to write, btw ?
Hope you enjoy school, my dear Mel. I feel the school you're studying supplies the good materials to learn.
Kisses & Hugs !
@corinna.
Hope you enjoy Italy with wonderful weather, my dear corinna !
Kisses & Hugs !
@Dana
ReplyDelete@Ekaterina
Thanks for your good wishes for my holiday!
@All
Kjetil goes to Las Vegas and makes a gorgeous travel to Grand Canon, Monument Valley, etc.
I am looking forward to great pics!
Don't miss his blog!
http://www.kjetil-jansrud.com/en/#1/home/
Have a beautiful day!
Hugs & Kisses!
@Nicoletta.
ReplyDeleteI didn't miss it thanks to you, Nicolettchen !
I think I haven't checked Kjetil's blog for weeks and finally you made me remind of it.
Though you still remember it or not, I once mentioned I sometimes suffer from the light allergy, and I'm in the midst of it. I'll go to the doctor tomorrow to ask the prescription of the medicine to relieve itching.
Have a beautiful day to you, too ! my dear Nicoletta.
Kisses & Hugs !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much for your warm words! You and the girls are so nice to me, always!
I think I'll be in the hospital for tests for about a week. If I'll need a surgery, I'll stay another week more!
Hope I'll keep in touch with AM and she will inform you all what I'm doing.
I'll miss you, my dear friends!!!
AM asked me how I'll survive so many days without our BIG guy!! Haha! Tough question!!:)))
About the fact that I know that your little sister likes to be rubbed on her belly, well, that's a secret between me and her! Hehe! You told me that she can speak like human beings, but I know to speak the cat's language too! Meow, Grrrr are just a few "words"!! LOL
Btw, in Romanian Meow is Miau!!:)
Have a nice and pleasant evening!
私は、私の愛するエカテリーナをあなたを愛して！
Hope is right!:)
@Nicoletta
When I'll come home I think I'll have to read here a lot about your Italian adventure in this spring!
When do you leave?
Have a wonderful holiday, my dear Nicoletta, maybe you'll show us some pics of nice places in Lago di Guarda!:) You can take there Aksel with his camera; as we know, he's a great photographer!!! Haha!
Love you!!
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you don't feel quite well bc of this allergy! So that was the reason we didn't see you here and on ALS in the last two days!!! This morning I wanted to ask where are you and if you feel good, but I woke up a little late and I hadn't time to write on the blog!
Wish you to feel better soon, my dear Ekaterina! Take care of you!! Kisses & Hugs!
@dana you know i be with you sweetheart!
ReplyDelete@all i be off for this week, going to italy tomorrow! can´t wait for it!
see you next week!
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteThank you so much my dear! Of course I know!!:)
Have a wonderful weekend, maybe you'll meet Nicoletta on your way to Italy! LOL
Hope the strike will not affect your travel!
Take care of you!
Love you!!!!
@Dana
ReplyDeleteDear Dana, the solution with the photographer sounds great!! LOL
We leave on Monday morning and we go by coach, because we know the driver. So we will enjoy the kind of "school trip" and are really on holidays!
Once again all the best for your stage in the hospital in Bucharest, my Dana!
@Ekaterina
Oh my dear Ekaterina, what do I hear!! Light allergy!!! I am so sorry, that is painful and certainly you have a lot of troubles with that!
Hope so much for you that you get soon the necessary medicine, Ekaterina!
My troubles with the hay fever is this year very strange, I do not sneeze, nothing. Therefore, I have in the morning coughing attacks and noticed some ennoying red allergy around the eyes. First I thought, it is a cosmetic allergy, but I did not change anything.
I heard years ago, that a collegue of mine said, that she suffers from allergy on the skin because of the hay fever. So I started again with the medis, and to my astonisment it worked!
Yesterday I was preparing the clothes, etc., so I haven't to do that in the last minute.
Today my last day of work!! HeHe
@Corinna
Have FUN, FUN, FUN!!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your warm words, my dear dana.
It's just a itch, however I don't like it ... :-(
Then, well, she's 7 years old, so I think it's about time for her to start sharing " secret " between her friend and her. ... :-))) !!! She seems to be proud of being friend with the squirrels, and now she seems to be proud of having a common secret with her elder sis' friend. dana, I pretend not to know it !
We also say " miau " and " niau ".
BTW, I'm so surprised to see that, my dear dana ! yes, that's right by and large. By and large, bc it's almost impossible to translate Japanese into other languages directly.
I often think about post some Japanese here, but I hesitate to do it, bc I'm afraid it is shown like " #@X%O&$ ". But you inspired me, dana, so I try it now. If I fail it, sorry in advance.
私の大切なエカテリーナ。
愛 means LOVE, but I think it's better not to translate it directly in this case.
Let me check it if it's shown.
@dana.
ReplyDeleteIt looks successful !
dana is written ダナ。Ekaterina = エカテリーナ。 Yuko = ユウコ。 These letters show only the sound and have no meanings. But we write our name in Chinese character which has not only the sound but also the meanings. and Yuko = 祐子。祐 means happiness or good luck, and 子 means a child.
I'll make your name in Chinese character as we do if you like to have it, my dear dana, though there are only a few Chinese character which has the sound " da ".
Hope you have a nice Saturday, however I'm afraid you're very busy preparing for the hospital matters.
Crossing my fingers for you, my dear dana.
Kisses & Hugs.
I'm taking a bath now.
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteMy dear Ekaterina, first of all I have to tell you that I love the meaning of your name, Yuko!!! Beautiful!! I've liked your name from the first time you told it us! I hope it brings you good luck and happiness!
Thank you, I think my name is easy to make in Chinese characters! Da-na! lol
We use so many short names, diminutives or abbreviations of our names,I don't know how to call them, for ex. Dana-from Daniela, Cris-from Cristina, Nelu-from Ion (it's a bit difficult to explain you! maybe some other time!)but Maria (my mom's name) has the most of abbreviation: Mara, Mimi, Mia, Mioara, Mariuta etc. And our family and friends called my mom Marika! It's not a very used one, that's why when I was a kid I thought it's a Japanese name!! Haha! Bc it sounded so Japanese to me!:)))
To be honest, Japanese sounds to me exactly as you said: "#@X%O&$ "! Haha! But I think it's not impossible to learn it! Anyway, it seems easier to speak than to write! When you write some Japanese words in European characters I know how to pronounce them before to read your explanation.
Nelson Mandela said once: "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart!" I'm glad you liked my little "surprise"!:)) But I admit that it's so difficult to me to make the difference between all those characters! And I can't realize how good is the Google translator, usually it's very bad! lol
Haha! So we have a common word, in Romanian, Japanese and the cat's language: MIAU! I think my squirrels will be happy to have your little sister as a friend, as a play mate, though they are so fearful!:))
Your little Ekaterina is not a girl anymore, she's a young lady now, if she's 7 y.o.! I guess she's learned that it's elegant to say "osake", "osushi" etc! Haha!
I'm glad you don't have a severe allergy, but I wish you to be well soon! It's not a pleasure to scratch all the time!:)
Thank you for your encouragement! I'm so stressed about my travel to the hospital, you know I hate to stay in the hospital! But there's no other way, I have to do this so I promise to be brave! lol
Have a nice evening, or better said a restful night, my dear Ekaterina!
Wish you a beautiful and sunny weekend!
Love you!
@Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteSo we set: Aksel will be your personal photographer in Italy!!:))
I envy you! Why? Bc I can't take him as my personal photographer at the hospital!!Haha!
Thank you for your good wishes! It means a lot to me!
Love, kisses and hugs!
@Dana
ReplyDeleteAs you see, Aksel has just started with his dryland training!
No time to come with me to Italy - with or without camera! LOL
How long do you have to stay in the Hospital, Dana??
@Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteI think Aksel can afford a few days for a short vacation in Italy! He will love it! Then he can go back to his training! :))
As you see, his body is in a great shape! I admire him for his determination!
I think I'll stay at least a week for tests, if I'll need a surgery I'll stay more. We'll see.
@Dana
ReplyDeleteYou do not give up so quickly, my dear Dana! LOL!
But as you may know, my lovely partner is coming with me! No way, to my great regret, Dana.
So, you have perhaps to face a longer stay at the hospital, Dana!! Hope it is not necessairy and they can help you without surgery!!
Keep my fingers crossed for you!!!
Wish you a quiet weekend, and do not loose your great humour, as always!!
Will look out for you after Italy!
Hugs & Kisses, my dear Dana!!
Love you!
@Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice words! You and the girls here are so kind to me! Thinking that I'll be gone for so many days it makes me cry! I'll miss you all so much!
And I'm so stressed!:-))
My weekend will be very busy, as you know I work tomorrow, then I have to finish the housework that I've begun today, to leave my boys in a clean house and I have to cook. Then I have to finish packing, I don't want to forget something!:)
I'm leaving at 7:30, Sunday morning! My uncle drives me to my aunt (they are my dad's brother and sister)
You have to explain your partner that Aksel is a great photographer and you need him to take some beautiful pictures in Lago di Guarda! He can take pictures of you and your partner, so you don't have to ask some stranger to do this! Haha!
Thanks again, my dear Nicoletta! Wish you a beautiful weekend, with a lot of sun!
Love, kisses and hugs for you too!
@Nicoletta.
ReplyDeleteThanks for thinking of me, my dear Nicoletta !
The doctor prescribed me EBASTINE yesterday. It's a light medicine and I take once a day. It makes me sleepy, so I take it at night. I thought I would post it to you last night, but I became very sleepy. ...:-(((
I think there is still possibility you happen to meet ALS in Italy, bc he moves from one place to another so quickly !
You leave on Monday ? I think changing air is sometimes good to ease the hay fever, though you have Reise-fieber jetzt !
Hope you enjoy the travel in Italy with your partner, my dear Nicoletta ! and have a nice weekend also before the travel !
Kisses & Hugs !
@dana.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you're extraordinary busy today, so it's just a short message from me to you, my dear dana.
I write your name in Japanese way.
dana = 雫菜
雫(da) means a drop ( of rain ),
菜(na) means a vegetable of leaves like a cabbages and so on.
Every living creature needs drops of rain to live healthy, and the vegetable leaves make us healthy, although we prefer the sun. But we need the rain anyhow.
The Chinese character is often consisted of several parts. 雨 means rain, 下 means under.
For the info,
木 = tree
林 = forest
森 = woods
It's like a game in kindergarten, I think.
and we also have the name Mari for the female name.
Now, it's your mom's turn.
Marika = 真理香
真(ma)理(ri) means the truth,
香(ka) means fragrance.
I wait for the report from AM. I cross fingers for you, my dear dana. and the nose greeting from my baby sis to you !
Kisses & Hugs !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteThank you so so much!!!! It's beautiful that our names have a meaning and I'm not talking just about my name and my mom's!
So I'm a drop of dew on a leaf! I love it!!! I like this "picture" of myself!:))
Your little sister made me smile this morning with her nose greetings! LOL Wish you both to have a beautiful day!
Love you, my dear Ekaterina!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy that you love it !!!
It's the first time for me to think about writing name for non-Japanese in Japanese style !!!
Wishing you a much better situation in your health, my dear dana ! I'm always with you !
Kisses & Hugs ! and Miau from my baby sis to you !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I love it so much! Thank you! Though I think I'd like to know how it looks my name written in the elegant Japanese characters!:))
Thank you for your nice and warm words that you always have for me!
Wish you a beautiful Sunday and a happy new week! Give a very friendly Miau to your little sister and a good rub on her warm and soft belly from me! lol
I'll miss you, my dear friend "Happiness"/Yuko!:))
Love you! Te iubesc!
@ALL
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your support!
Wish you a beautiful Sunday and an amazing new week, even if you'll be at home, at work, in Italy...:))!
I'll miss you, my friends! And I'll think of you every day! Hope to see you soon!
Hugs & kisses to everyone! Love you!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you, too !!!, my dear dana !
yes,
your name written in Japanese looks nice. Actually 菜 is often used for the girl's name.
I cross fingers for you and think about you, my dear dana !
Kisses and Hugs from my baby sis and me to you !!!
