Members All My Shadows Posted April 29, 2011 Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 The ceremony was very enjoyable, IMO. I've never been a hardcore expert on all things British royalty, but I've always been very familiar with them (Biography Magazine was OBSESSED with them in the late 90s, and I was a dorky kid who read every issue), and to be honest, call it bandwagoning or whatever, but this whole thing's just made me that much more interested in the whole...the whole damn thing. I know nothing about fashion, so I just kinda rolled my eyes through all of the comments on her dress. "Oh, there's a bit of Princess Margaret's dress in there, with the straight line--" "Oh, it is so like Kate to have a V-neck--" I don't get it lol. So she chose to wear a V-neck. That must speak loads about her character. I liked the dress, I just haven't the knowledge of what it's supposed to mean. Beatrice and Eugenie were where it was at, though, with those hideous hats. I don't find Bea all that pretty to begin with, but that hat! They looked proud as hell of those ugly things. The Queen always looks so cozy and sweet in whatever she wears nowadays. I loved her little lemon-colored grandma outfit. Kate's mom also looked pretty good. I actually loved Pippa's dress, regardless of whether or not it should have been white. She looked stunning. Harry's squeeze looked like she'd been drained of vital fluids. James Middleton was looking FIT as he read that Bible scripture like Alexander Scourby. The Abbey looked gorgeous. The trees were a great, great touch and made it look very breezy in there. Everything scenery wise was perfect. I didn't think the kiss was all that, and I didn't realize there was a second kiss (I thought it was an instant replay of the first). Wills blushing after the first kiss was adorable! LOL at Harry cracking jokes with grandpa. I can't wait to see the Monaco wedding in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted April 29, 2011 Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 I thought the dress was very pretty and classic and suited Kate Middleton well. You can't really go wrong with the house of Alexander McQueen, who I'm so proud of for winning this one. You can tell William feels lucky to be marrying such a gorgeous woman.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 29, 2011 Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 Princess Eugenie looked like a Muppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 29, 2011 Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 Pippa Middleton was hot though, it's unfortunate that "Pippa" is her name though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 29, 2011 Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 Yeah, that's not a great name. I'd almost rather Philippa. I can't get over the fact that the Middletons amassed their fortunes with a company called Party Pieces. It sounds like something a housewife would do in her spare time.

Administrator Toups Posted April 29, 2011 Administrator Share Posted April 29, 2011 Kate looked so gorgeous in her dress! But especially when she smiles - my goodness! William is such a lucky guy. Kate's sister looked great too in her dress. I love this picture because of the little girl. :lol But the one behind the Queen, right? What a ridiculous hat. LOL I also loved the crowd slowly making their way, behind police escort, to Buckingham Palace. I thought that was very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 29, 2011 Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 Princess Beatrice is the one behind the Queen, she also looked like a Muppet. Princess Eugenie is sitting next to her sister Beatrice though in the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 29, 2011 Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 I liked Pippa's wedding party/reception dress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted April 29, 2011 Administrator Share Posted April 29, 2011 Ah okay, thanks! Even though most of the hats were ridiculous, I kinda like that tradition. It's fun to laugh at the hats. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 29, 2011 Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 I flove Kate's wedding dress. They are a gorgeous couple This truly was a fairytale wedding. I hope it lasts I just can't get enough of watching the coverage of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2011 I wasn't a huge fan of the dresses (although Kate did look pretty), but they seem to have made a positive impression. It's so easy for people to hate the Royals - it's a default "cool" position in society - so it's nice that many out there gave such a good showing and treated this as a special day. The Windsors aren't normal people but I did like how awkward and natural Kate and William (especially William) seemed throughout the day. I don't think they will get the type of pedestal-placing that was so damaging with Diana and Charles. All in all I think it was a beautiful ceremony and a nice step forward for a family that have sacrificed a lot. It was nice to see Cat Deeley on CNN, although Piers Morgan drowned her out.

Administrator Toups Posted April 29, 2011 Administrator Share Posted April 29, 2011 I think it will. They've been together for what, 9 years (breaking up a couple of times in between). They both took their time and are truly friends and in love. They're the opposite of Charles/Diana where Charles was in love with Camilla and Diana was barely an adult. Me too. I love watching the beautiful Kate. I'm glad William picked someone hot unlike Harry who's currently dating someone who's not so hot. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
