Watching one of a bazillion replays on cable tonight...i just love that Pippa walked up the aisle holding the hands of those two little bridesmaids...it's just so very sweet...

I've now read this entire thread.......and here's my take on the day.....

Yes, there is war and hunger and poverty and politics and tornadoes and death and...and...and.....

And for one brief moment, can we not have a little romance and fairy tales? Am I burying my head in the sand over all those other 'ugly' bits of life? You damn well better believe I AM, because in the midst of all my own personal junk called 'Life', I NEEDED a bit of the romance and fairy tales and a good, somewhat old~fashioned Love Story.

I NEEDED to giggle at some of the hats. (I'm fairly certain Beatrice & Eugenie left their make~up on from last night and just rubbed their eyes this morning....what was THAT? lol )
I NEEDED to have tears well up in my eyes over William's and Kate's love for one another.
I NEEDED to hear that lovely music ~ chamber orchestra, boys choir & trumpets ~ and oo and ah over the magnificence and history of that cathedral.
I NEEDED to try and read their lips over those sweet, whispered comments.
I NEEDED to see those hats, silly or otherwise.
I NEEDED to see those balcony kisses, 1 & 2.
I NEEDED to have JUST a few hours of forgetting that other 'stuff'.
I NEEDED to escape the cynicism just for a brief while.
I NEEDED the beauty and grandeur of it all.
I NEEDED to be proud for them, knowing that Diana was ~ WAS and IS ~ smiling down on her son.
I NEEDED to be proud, also, of my Scot/Irish/Welsh heritage.

So some of Y'all can pooh~pooh me all You want. I'm ok with that. I own my romanticism.

I admit that over the last six months, I've been kind of confused and amused at the amount of fascination over the royal wedding and every minute detail of it, especially on behalf of the American public. But then... I set my alarm today for 4:45 in the morning so that I wouldn't miss it. LOL
My plan was to watch it until I had to leave for work so about a half hour before Kate was to arrive at the church, I hopped in the shower. Soon after, Toxic, who had said repeatedly that she was not going to watch it, shouted at me frantically, "Hurry! The Queen is coming!" which made me laugh out loud.

It was a beautiful wedding, from the music to the classic simplicity of her dress, to the way the public rallies around and seems to really care for this young couple. When Charles and Diana married, I was a little kid, watching it while I played with my Lite Brite on the floor in front of the TV! It was kind of neat watching this wedding this morning.

I really enjoyed seeing the wedding and I loved that they borrowed Charles car to drive to the reception.

They both looked wonderful !

I wish them a long and happy life !

Yes it was beautiful, it was a bit of a salve to the 300 who died in Alabama or the thousands who died in Japan.

The mini buses and the hats made me laugh, the dress made me Oo and Aahh..

My heart went out to how nervous she seemed at the wedding and how genuinely happy they seemed after.

The whole day was beautiful..

.. but Pippa

Wow..

It was a fantastic opportunity for the ConDemNation Government to slip a pretty major piece of political news past the nation. Oh Mr.Cameron, you're going make even deeper swingeing cuts to the health service than you promised in your election pledges? Oh that's ok there's a Royal Wedding to stop us all worrying about it.

I believe the wedding should have been much more low key considering how many folks are losing jobs and more children than ever living in poverty.

Just a Brit speaking my mind...
