Confession time. I didn't watch any of the royal nuptials. I know, crazy as it is I may be the only one in the entire universe who doesn't give a crap that history was made today. I just remember as a child watching Diana and Charles walk down the aisle, millions of us sharing in their joy thinking that it was the most amazing thing in the world, that a commoner married a prince. However, look at how their marriage turned out. Just sayin'.
On the bright side though, I do agree with one thing that the royal fans are doing to celebrate this oh so joyous event. It's having a tea party! Apparently there are thousands of tea parties happening all around the world, some starting as early as 4am (what the hell?). And lucky me, I recently had the opportunity to join two of my dearest friends for our own adult 'tea party' at the Windor Arms Hotel here in Toronto:

| The hats are for display only, I got in trouble for trying to put one on (hence, no picture of me in old lady hats) |
 |
| This is where we ate, and ate, and ate (until they kicked us out) |
 |
| Scones, mini sandwiches, whipped cream and jam. SO.GOOD. |
 |
| Oooohh, Dessert time, my favorite time of the day! |
An absolute fun time was had by all. Not the cheapeast food (starts at $35 per sitting) but the experience is definitely worthwhile. Plus it all doesn't look like a lot of food but all those carbs filled us up so quickly that we had to take a care package home. If you are ever in the Toronto area, you should definitely check out the Windsor arms hotel for their high tea package. And the great thing is that you didn't have to be part of royalty to enjoy such a fabulous ritual :)
What about you? Did you get a chance to watch the royal wedding? Was it worth the hype?

Omgosh Sharon I had tea this past week too but yours looks so much better and in think ypursnwas cheaper! Ugh i feel so jipped now haha. Those scones look soooo good!
I didn't watch the wedding either but i did like her dress very reminiscent of grace kellys wedding dress.
No worries I didn't watch the wedding, lol. I wasn't that interested before the wedding and I'm not interested during or even after, ha!
I've never ever had experienced having tea w. desserts anywhere. This looks like it would be tons of fun and definitely an experience!
That looks yummy, stunning place.
No, didnt watch the Royal wedding, to me they are just normal people and I do not see the need to fuss over them. But that is just my opinion.
Thanks for sharing, hope your weekend is going to be great.

Wow, yummy (and I absolutely adore high tea, by the way!) This all looks like such a fun way to celebrate the royal wedding :)
@ everyone- Nice to know that I wasn't the only one not up at 4:00am to enjoy the wedding of the century. I was surprised at her choice of dress though but glad to know that she went with a british designer. And yes, the sandwiches and scones were absolutely delicious! I'm still trying to work all that fod off :) thanks everyone for the great comments :)
