One last thing on the royal wedding

Tammy Mass (pictured) didn’t mind traipsing through the mall today with a tiara on top of her head.

Mass, 51, an administrative assistant at All Souls’ Episcopal Church, said her head adornment was her way of paying homage to the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

I ran into Mass today when I was interviewing All Souls’ rector the Rev. Patrick Bright for a story. 

She said she wore the tiara to lunch at the mall food court even though her 24-year-old daughter didn’t believe she would do it.

Mass said she watched the royal wedding and couldn’t help but think of Prince William’s mother, Princess Diana, whose wedding she watched years ago. She said she also loved the Bishop of London’s wedding homily and found it to be very relevant.

As for wearing the tiara to the mall, Mass laughted and said she didn’t see why she should take it off for lunch. It was obviously eye-catching.  

“It does attract attention at the mall, at the food court,” she said.    

Meanwhile, Mass and Bright said about 30 women who are members of the church met there in the wee hours of the morning to watch the royal wedding together on the big screen in the church’s family life center.
