!!!! I can't keep this a secret !!!!!!

I know, I'm a total AW/PW today, I can't help it - this is definitely AW worthy!!

DH has a lot of musician friends back in the UK. One of them is a flutist in a London chamber music group.  She and DH used to do events and such all the time - both with a group of musicians and just as a duo. I think she had a crush on him . . .

Anyhow. She just called him because she heard he was going to be back in England in a few weeks (going back to visit family) and  OMG!!   She asked him if he was available on the 29th for a gig!!

 

What's happening on the 29th in England?!?!?!?!!?

Yep!!!!!!!

Apparently the reception is going to take place in mulitple rooms of Buckingham Palace and they want small groups of musicians in each room for the guests' entertainment.  This girl's group was asked and then she asked DH if he could join them!!!! 

So my amazing husband is going to be at the Royal Wedding!!!!! Ok, not the wedding proper, but the reception - which is even better because it is more exclusive. He'll be "working" but still - he'll be there!!! 

Lord - I'm shaking - I am so shocked and excited and jealous and proud!!   DH is freaking out a bit - he generally doesn't like the royals and all the fuss surrouding them, but how could he pass this up?!? Now he just need to figure out tux stuff (rental?) and how to get his guitar back to England and of course, practicing all the music . . . ahhhh, it is going to be crazy for the next few weeks!!

Re: !!!! I can't keep this a secret !!!!!!

  • Really?  (or is this an april fool's joke...)

    If it's for real, that's super awesome - do you get to go then, too?  Talk about not only a once in a lifetime experience, but also such an exclusive one....it'll go down in the books!

    Congrats to the DH!

  • Aaaaah!! How awesome is this!?!

     

    Now your husband and his parents will show their "true colors" regarding The Royal Famly - because if they showed any excitement, they'd be going against their own rules of only the bottom of society fusses over The Royals! Wink

    What a great opportunity for your husband though! Practice practice practice!

  • Congrats to him!  That is neat - and I can't wait to hear details later after he gets home!!

  • I hope this is for real (not an April Fools joke) because that is awesome!!!

    Didn't you say your hubby is not into all that stuff though?!  Kinda funny!  You need to figure out how you can get your foot in the door now!

  • I smell an April's Fools joke....  if not, then HOLY HANNAHSurprise

  • So cool! I'm not too into the royals either, but who cares. It's the event of the century. My first thought, can you work your way into becoming some kind of a grip or 'equipment handler'?  I'd five it a try if I were you. Congrats!
  • Well, you have a great sense of smell, Kiz!  As do the two or three others who were suspicious - well done!

     

     Yes, this is/was an April Fools joke. Sorry - I wish it were true.

    The hubs is going to be in England during the royal wedding, but as far as I know, he will not be performing. Oh well, their loss!

    But my gain - because now I can get up at 5 am and watch the wedding live without causing his eyes to roll to the back of his head.  

     Happy April Fools, everyone!  

  • Oh that is way cool. I hope he brings backs some great photos 

     

    edit - Ok I just saw that you posted this as a joke :) But I still hope he comes back with a lot of great photos
