Swing Away

Twentiesh gal living and working in the lovely Charleston, South Carolina with a new husband and an imaginary dog. By day: marketing+social media geek. Otherwise, I'm sous vide cooking, history loving, museum trekking, margarita making gal, with a side obsession of counting down the days to the Hobbit films.

My name is Claire. Taking a swing here at all things thrown my way.

“ David Cameron has decreed that April 29, the day of the wedding, will be a bank holiday. This means that with Easter the week before and May Day the following Monday, we will have eight days off in 11. You know, there is hardly any point in going back to work before the summer break.

Lawks! How will I cope with this right royal jamboree? The Daily Mail

I kind of love the flippant attitude the Brits have about the royal wedding. I also love how my 50-something American mother has an opinion on everything about the engagement, the wedding and the couple.

This isn’t to say that I’m not slightly obsessed myself…
