We are leaving for our English honeymoon immediately after the wedding. I still can’t believe it! I am so excited.
As a British royal historian, it’s nice that I actually get to visit the UK after ten years in the business. Being able to physically encounter the sights and sounds of the country will make my studies and presentations to my audience far richer. I hope what I experience makes the site and the blog even better than before. Of course, all photos will be posted here for your enjoyment… or just for your curiosity.
As wedding preparations continue (and as work picks up) I will not be able to post here as much. I will be happy to give a few updates once in a while though, especially if there is something in royal news that makes me want to rant, debate, discuss, or all of the above.
Wedding countdown: 5 weeks
American Friends Abound

In an earlier post, I mentioned the American Friends of British Art. They are an organization that raises funds to help ongoing restoration projects across Great Britain – over 2,000 historic castles, manors and other structures are being preserved through the efforts of AFBA. It’s a wonderful group.
Now I have discovered that the AFBA isn’t the only one with solid Anglo-American ties. The V & A has a sister organization called the American Friends of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
From the website:
“The AFV&A works to strengthen the Museum’s international presence and encourage the American public to engage with this leading cultural institution.”
So be sure to check out both of these wonderful cultural organizations and donate your money or your time (maybe even your life?). It is extremely worthwhile!
