The Royal Wedding
What can I say that hasn't been said, now that it's been a week? Basically nothing. So I'll just say what everyone else has said.
♥Kate looked beautiful. The dress was perfect, and I loved the tiara and veil.
♥Pippa was fetching. Some say she upstaged the bride, but I disagree. I think she complimented her just right.
♥William looked dashing, and while I at first questioned the red, one look at this and I was converted.
♥Harry was charming. From sneaking a look at Kate for William to looking out for the children in the carriage he was just plain charming (no other word for it).
♥Hobbitsister may have mocked them, but I liked the trees.
♥Will and Kate looked so happy and relaxed together, and I loved William's doofy grin.
♥I liked when William saluted and Catherine bowed her head as they passed the memorial to Britain's war dead. Not only was it a nice gesture, she also looked very queenly as she did so.
♥I liked Kate's curtsy to the Queen, too. Graceful and lovely and very respectful.
♥Good thing I didn't blink when they were on the balcony. I would've missed the kiss. As it is, I now know that they'll live happily ever after.

all that.
You found some great pictures! I also liked that Kate's bouquet wasn't gigantic like it seems like royals' often are.
I agree about Harry, but those giant yellow cords on his uniform looked kinda cheesy and silly to me. Especially knowing how he's actually a big party guy. :)
I so could never marry royalty and go through all that. I'd have a nervous breakdown with all that pressure! Kate (or Catherine now:) handles it very well. :)
I also liked her gown for the reception, but she looked so thin!
Oh, I almost forgot -- thanks for posting! :)
you're welcome.
and you're quite right - the cords are silly-looking. but interesting fact - the uniform has no pockets, so he had one specially sewn into the cuff because he was terrified of losing the ring.
and yes, she did have a pretty bouquet
and of course i have more to say, so there will be a part 2 :)
so did the cuff pocket also hold the wiggly worm?
what wiggly worm? i'm so confused...
you moved my comment!
actually, i removed it cuz you were beating me to the punch
another royal wedding thought - i think some of the reason we loved this wedding so much, and loved seeing william and harry looking so happy and relaxed, is because we've watched them grow up.
we eagerly awaited their birth announcements. we saw their first steps and watched them head off to kindergarten. we hurt for them when their parents split up, were shocked when their mum died, and cried for them as we watched them bury her. i think we all feel we have some claim to them, and we sincerely hope they can each find some happiness.
ok, cheesy moment over. you all can stop rolling your eyes now.
I actually hadn't seen any of these pictures and I was eagerly awaiting your blog post. These were beautiful and summed it all up nicely. Thanks for the post! :-D
you're quite welcome. and thank you. :)
and didder, sorry, but most of us were too young to be awaiting their births or watching them go off to school. we have watched them grow up, though. and i think we're all happy, too, because after seeing all the other crap in that family, will and kate look so happy together.
Great post(s)!
This wedding was too much fun! Katie's going to start thinking there's a royal wedding every few months! We have this one on tape though so I'm sure we'll watch it again and again and again!
I also wasn't thinking the red was a good idea, but in the church it was perfect.
Harry's could have used less cords. Love the pocket! and the wiggly worm in the family picture. 3 year old's should always have wiggly worms when in a royal family portrait! Their parents must have been stressed!
Also- Princess Victoria had a great outfit! There were a few other random hats I liked, and I would love to have places to wear hats, but most were horrible.
I actually didn't like Kate's reception dress- it didn't seem quite right. Perhaps it was just the picture I saw. Apparently Pippa had a great dress for the reception but I haven't found a picture of that yet.
Katie was so overjoyed when I corrected her- she thought we were going to Ottawa to see the princess on tv (because that's how everyone sees princesses, right?) "No, in person honey!" "Woowee!!!!" She is SO excited! Anyone else want to come? :)
woowee! - i love it! :)
i would love to go with you, but i can't take off then.
kate's reception dress was ok, but i didn't think it was anything special. pippa's reception dress was a pretty color and very close to being pretty, but it was too low and she needed a bra. (sorry, not looking for it right now.)
What on earth are you talking about, Kimberly? (re: seeing a princess in real life)
We're going to Ottawa for Canada Day this year. So are Will and Kate! And cannons and horses and soldiers!
So much fun! Especially if you're 4 and named Katie! or a 5 year old boy who likes castles and soldiers and dinosaur bones! (we're also going to the big museum in Toronto.)
Wanna come??!!
And then on our way home we're going to stop by for a quick visit to Prinsessan Kari.
Oh right- I sometimes forget you guys are American!
Canada Day is July 1st.
Ottawa is just about straight north of Syracuse.
Oh! Well, it does sound fun. :) But you have to have a passport to get to Canada now! Sigh. I don't have one of those. Maybe I'll have to conveniently visit Kari on that day... ;)
you don't have to have a passport to get to canada, just to get home. and since i have no desire to go to work, i don't see that that's a problem. :)
