In case you didn't recognise it, that little riff is 'Here Comes the Bride'.
Yes ... you've got it!
You know I couldn't let this week's announcement go without writing about it. Who better? (No, I haven't received my invite yet *g*).
So, unless you've been on another planet, you'll know that the future king of England, Prince William, announced his engagement to the lovely Kate Middleton. You'll have seen the pictures of Princess Diana's engagement ring which Prince William gave his fiancee in a touching gesture.
Speculation has already started about The Dress. The date. The venue. The level of wedding (full state wedding, I suspect). I'm sure tourist operators are already rubbing their hands with glee, as are memorabilia makers.
People have already started discussing previous royal weddings, comparing dresses and talking about where they were at the time.
There is an air of buoyancy - a welcome change after so much doom and gloom.
Which got me thinking.
What is it about royal weddings that lifts our spirits? Why is it different from a celebrity wedding? What makes it special?
Is it the pomp and splendour? Is it a glimpse into a 'fairytale' and 'glamorous' world we can only imagine? Is it the romance of an ordinary girl getting her prince? Is it the ultimate gossip/fly on the wall TV?
And ... which was your first royal wedding? Which was your favourite dress?
Finally ... will you be watching?
