I missed the wedding but caught the balcony scene. The bride was radiant, the dress lovely, the kiss…sweet.
The traditions put a lump in my throat.
To be honest, I got tired of the press coverage about five minutes after the engagement was announced, but one thing, amidst all the thousands of things that were reported about the royal couple was this: that William had allowed his relationship with Kate to develop slowly that she could have time to think about what she was getting herself into.
Not many couples do this. Certainly if William’s parents had taken a breather to consider what they were about to do, things might have turned out much differently and we wouldn’t be having a royal wedding today.
But to wait, to make sure history wouldn’t repeat itself…and to lessen the possibility for heartache all round, that’s love.
And that’s why I think Prince William is a hero.
