The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

The royal wedding was lovely.  It was the perfect combination of religion, tradition and elegance.  Even the weather graced the couple with sunshine on occasion.  Thankfully, the rain stayed away.

Catherine arrived in a Rolls Royce looking amazing.  She wore a gorgeous dress designed by Sarah Burton and a Cartier Tiara as her something borrowed from the Queen. The best man, Prince Harry, stole a glimpse of her coming down the aisle.  The dashing groom appeared overjoyed when he finally saw Catherine, reportedly saying, you look beautiful.

The royal couple traveled to their balcony appearance in a magnificent horse drawn carriage.  And, they did not disappoint. The crowd wanted to a kiss from William and Catherine, like Diana and Charles displayed so long ago and they got it.  Apparently the Duke's parents started a new tradition, but William and Catherine made it their own by kissing not once, but twice.

Later, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge drove off in Williams Aston Martin.  The customized license plate read, Just Wed.

The 2011 Audi R8 Spyder

I believe I first began to fall in love with Audi when a childhood friend of mine was given one for his eighteenth birthday.  The love was further deepened many years later on the big screen during the movie Transporter.  Now, having knowledge of the the 2011 Audi R8 Spyder makes me think this it, we'll be in love for life.  Just as progress.audiusa.com proclaims, luxury has progressed, it has.

The2011 Audi R8 Spyder is absolutely beautiful.  It exceeded my expectations and the design is unreal.  Forgive me for sounding like a dude, but it has a very attractive rear end.  This vehicle also has 525 horse power and makes it from 0 to 60 in four seconds flat.  A feature I love is the microphone attached to the seat belt for voice control.  Makes the starting price tag of about $160,000 sound worth it.  Well, it doesn't get much better than that.

I'm sold, but in case you need more information it has a V10 engine, as well as a top speed of 195.  The soft top will retract in little as 19 seconds.  Vehicle progression is steadily moving forward at a miraculous pace.

Mercedes Benz SLK Roadster - Another Valentine Suggestion

You've already purchased Black Love: A Book of Poetry & Love by Alice Benton and your honey deserves another gift. I'm making another suggestion, but keep in mind it's what I'd like. It may not be the right gift for the love of your life or someone you've dated for three minutes. It's the Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster with a 6 cylinder engine.

I've always had a special place in my heart for the SLK. Its newest available feature is sky control. I don't know about you, but it sounds like all I ever wanted. It can switch from a light clear mode to a dark and sexy solar protective mode. Gotta love it! It hasn't been priced yet and will not be available until summer in the United States, according to Hannah Elliot of blogs.Forbes.com.

Yes, I know that's way past Valentine's Day, but I would take an IOU on this baby from someone I trust. Just putting it out there...we'll see.
