Well it was quite like most weddings you go to, wasn't it? There were a few fashion hits, and a few fashion misses! (Beatrice and Eugenie, uh, hello?!) Kate and her family were paragons of restraint. And that extended from the simplicity of her dress right through her bouquet and the lovely trees lining the aisle at Westminster vs. masses of flowery garlands, which one might more normally expect. My favorite parts were: the sermon, the music, especially the choir boys, and the beautiful beautiful horses. It was very picturesque wasn't it ? (With the exception of the VW buses taking everyone to the Palace -sez Mr. Paradis. He liked that Aston Martin tho'!) The Brits know how to do it. It helps that they still embrace color, braid, and a big hat.
I did like the sentiment expressed that marriage is about bringing out the best in each other. For the record, I did not wake up at 3:00 a.m. to take that in!
So now the special moment is over. Hope the rest of your weekend is full of many others. Cheers!

i had not intention to stay up and watch it at 3am, but was freaking out over some site issues and found myself with no choice but to take in the moment. kate looked stunning. i loved seeing all the hats, the indoor trees were pretty sweet. all in all very nicely done. only it feels so weird to watch all that wealth when shit is going down everywhere else. ugh. the world we live in.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a photo! I did not see it, only a few shots on the news. Yes she looked wonderful and I loved her simplicity in dress and attitude. Very refreshing!
ReplyDeleteNo, I did not see it ... had forgotten about it until my mother reminded me, because i called her during the transmission on tv :)
ReplyDeleteThose horses - all wild and aflutter with the excitement, that was my favorite part!
ReplyDeleteYou're spot on with your comments! What a lovely day it was, and we had a party, so it made it seem all the more fun! Love Vanessa xxx
ReplyDeleteI did not see it live, but saw still photos on the internet. You know I just HAD to check out the dresses... What was it with Fergie's girls, help me lordy, WHAT on earth were they thinking! And of course, Kate was stunning...but, I just have to say...that veil, hmmmm. Is it just me or did it just look like a tiara and a piece of cloth? :^)
