Can you imagine being twenty years old and being engaged to the heir to the throne of England? Oh how excited Diana must have been and scared. For the 16 years or so that the world knew Diana we saw her evolve from a shy and scared girl to a sophisticated woman who loved helping the helpless and less fortunate. We also saw her turn into a fashion icon. Is she wearing two watches in the above picture?
Her wedding was the type of wedding that girls laid in bed at night and dream about...lots of flowers, lots of guests, lots of attendants, lots of hats, lots of carats in the ring, and a lot of wedding dress.
Lady Diana was presented with several engagement ring from which to choose but she chose an 18 carat blue Sapphire surrounded by 14 diamonds. She said she chose this ring because it reminded her of her mother's engagement ring. She also said she chose the blue Sapphire because it was the largest ring. Good for you Lady Diana! Get the largest one!
Ah, the dress. Her dress was made of ivory silk taffeta and lace with a 25 foot detachable train. Let's not forget the 10,000 pearls and mother-of-pearl sequins that were hand sewn on her dress. When I think of a fairytale wedding I always think of Princess Diana's wedding.
So, on July 29, 1981 the 20 year old shy and scared Lady Diana Spencer became Diana, Princess of Wales and forever had a place in our hearts.
