The Royal Wedding

[Martina]

i fell asleep. i saw the guests arriving live, but that was it.

i did just watch some rebroadcast and some highlights on the Youtube Royal Channel.

My favorite part was the carriage ride back. i love the horses and carriages. And even the Queen looked excited. i swear Phillip looks more like an old turtle all the time.

The wedding dress was lovely, but none of the other clothes wowed me.

The service was a bit archaic, and i couldn't help thinking of Sir Elton and his partner sitting there with all the talk about marriage being between a man and a woman.

The guy who actually performed the service can say a prayer, i'll give him that. The sermon, given by the more full of himself dude, was lame.

When they were exchanging vows, i liked how William had to stop himself from smiling when she was reciting her vows. i don't think she can look at him without him feeling pretty juiced.

i read once that she is a very warm person. i am glad he has that. His mom was, but so few of the royals seem to be. And they haven't looked for that in their partners. Thinking of Edward. So, anyway, good for them.

Mazel Tov!

I actually liked most of the hats except for that ginormous bow-shaped cookie cutter thing. (Did make me wonder if Lady Gaga was in attendance. )

The wedding was lovely and I absolutely loved it that they drove themselves from the Palace to Clarence House, complete with a license plate that read, "JU5T WED".............LOVE!

The 'L' PLate was a nice touch as well, Diva. Over here that is a Learner's plate for people learning to drive. It was a beautiful event and it was so good to see everyone so happy. It's been a tough few years and this was just the boost I think the country needed. You could hear the roar outside when the Archbishop pronounced them husband and wife. 400 of those guests in the Abbey were from Prince William's charities. I thought it was very sweet that he waited until the very last moment to see her dress. He blushed just like his Mother did and said 'You're gorgeous. You are beautiful.' It was very sweet.

And Diva, that choir was wonderful. I really liked that very contempory comissioned piece, though at first J and I thought it sounded like a Disney soundtrack...but it really grew on me.
