Reasons to be British

If I got a job in England, I would move in a heartbeat. I have always wanted to be British. They just seem so perfect with their accents and their polo playing. They can wear a hat without anyone assuming they are going to the derby, and Football is actually played with their feet. 
The invitations for William and Kate's wedding have been sent, and the dress code for the affair calls for Uniforms, Morning Coats, or Lounge Suits. While it sounds pretentious, it is actually fabulous. Also, it adds to my list of reasons why I want to be British. I would like my wedding to have this dress code. If you're wondering what this wonderful fashion terminology means, here are some pictures.

Morning dress is simple enough. It's a formal coat or dress worn in the morning, or before 5pm. Get it: morning coat? To Americanize it, think New England WASP. Also check out the hat. I can't get enough of them.

For the men, it's tails or a formal business suit. And look more hats!




I'm pretty sure uniforms are self explanatory, but in case you were wondering, here's what one would look like. 

So, will I be awake in the early hours of April 29 to watch my husband marry another woman the Royal Wedding? You better believe it.
