<\/p>\nToday’s the Royal Wedding. I wouldn’t call myself a “Royal Watcher” but growing up in a Commonwealth country I guess it’s always just been something that’s sort of been there in the background.<\/p>\n
The reason I bring this up is because I can distinctly recall what I was doing July 29th 1981, the wedding date of Charles and Diana. I was eight years old and was at Omi and Opa’s house in Mississauga. That morning my Dad and I were headed out of town for a canoe trip<\/a> to Lady Evelyn Lake<\/a> in Northern Ontario. It was about a six hour drive so to make sure that we got there with enough time to unload the car and canoe into the lake to find campsite we had to leave early in the morning.<\/p>\n I remember that after my Mom woke me up at some ungodly hour in the morning I walked down the hall to find everyone sitting in front of the old Zenith console TV watching the Royal Wedding live. I didn’t get to stay and see the whole thing but I do remember that it was right around the time she was getting to the church that we left.<\/p>\n Does anyone else remember that day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today’s the Royal Wedding.
