This is So Not How You Become the Pippa Middleton of a Wedding

As has become apparent I’m sure over the past few months, I was/am obsessed with the royal wedding, in particular the rising star of one Pippa Middleton. So much so that, moments after the world’s most famous sibling entered Westminster Abbey, I was proclaiming that I would be the Pippa Middleton of not one, not two, but all of the weddings I have to attend in the next year or so.

From what I’ve read on the Daily Mail today (yes, I hit refresh every 30 seconds and it’s fed into my Google Reader), all of the Middletons left their home in Buckleberry to move into the Goring, a swanky London hotel, where they will spend the rest of their time before the wedding. Bellhops unloaded a buttload (bumload?) of luggage and garment bags into the hotel, including one gigantic white garment bag, which some say may be Kate’s secretive wedding dress. I’m going with Pippa’s maid of honor frock, because even I wouldn’t trust someone else with my dress two days before the wedding.
