Royal Wedding

Of course I watched the Royal Wedding!

Duh! I like renaissance festivals and English history. One of the perks of growing up Mormon is having a lot of my family history mapped out for many generations. We learned that we have a royal link, my 21st great-grandafather was Edward, III.

Here is my family history... I think it's very interesting to know this!
