House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) reminisced on meeting the queen in a series of tweets prompted by the royal wedding Friday.

Hoyer took time to tweet his congratulations to Prince William of Cambridge and Kate Middleton on their wedding, which took place earlier in the day:

Congrats to William & Kate - coverage of #RW2011 reminds me of when I met Queen Elizabeth in 1991 http://bit.ly/klHdN6 #HoyerHistory

Hoyer also shared pictures of his meetings with England’s long-reigning queen, first in 1991 and then in 2007:
