Connecticut has its share of fans looking forward to the royal wedding this weekend.
“These are all the different cups and plates,” said Elizabeth Wells as she showed off her royal commemorative collection in West Hartford.
Wells has cups, plates and even bells. It’s a royal commemorative collecting celebrating every major moment, milestone and member of the royal family.
“This is only a third of my collection, I have got tons more but I can't put it all out,” Wells said.
She has her favorites on display and is now making room for more. Wells is preparing for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to say I do. She already had the perfect cup for Saturday, picturing the royal couple.
“I just think it's great! It's just another excuse for some more cups,” said Wells.
Wells has lived in Connecticut for 30 year, but her love for the royals started while she was a child growing up in England.

“Love to go to the occasions and watch them on TV in fact, we watched the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1962 in a little black and white TV,” said Wells.
She will watch this wedding on TV as well, but other Connecticut locals made the trip to see the wedding in person.
Donna Werner from New Fairfield is a self-proclaimed royal family super fan. She is currently in England and was on the Today Show on Thursday.
When Hoda asked how long Werner had been out there she said it would be four nights by Saturday morning.
The women have dedication, because for super fans and commemorative collectors, the royal wedding is a fans and family celebration no matter where you are from.
“Oh it’s very exciting! Yes, I will be up at about five in the morning to watch it,” said Wells.
The royal wedding will air on NBC Connecticut on Saturday morning.
