Royal Wedding again

[callmemadam]

I refer all my readers to the brilliant pre-wedding commentary given by rosathomeDears, I cried nearly all the way through, especially when the couple took their vows. Don't worry, all proper weddings affect me like that. The Abbey looked beautiful with the arcade of trees. The music was beautiful. The bride was beautiful: she looked more royal than the

Satanic Goat-style headdress

Hee!

that teletubby one?

I really enjoyed it too... I wasn't planning to watch but I got drawn in. It was quite moving I thought.

Hurrah for that deliciously medieval bridal gown! may we hope now for fewer almost topless brides/
Plenty of cars here - relay driving to and from the One Big Party on Mona show ground - but i chose to stay at home
Aaargh! Jerusalem is not a hymn - but at least it could be argued that all that Blakean sexual imagery is appropriate for a wedding!
Only really false note that struck me was the BBC stuff about "how realistic is it that they can live quietly on Anglesey?"
Well, they've been doing it for months now - and, as far as I know, no-one has ever blown the gaff . (See what I did there?)
Even if someone was that crass, there are plenty of other secluded cottages they could move to

Lovely dress and when the bride was waving, I thought some mittens made of the same lace would have been a perfect finishing touch. Would have hidden the ring, though.

You're right about Jerusalem but it does have a special place in national events.

Thank you! That's who those girls were! I couldn't work it out !
What i found really weird was the chorus of disapproval about Sam Cam not wearing a hat - she looked amazingly dignified by comparison with those two

[mimmimmim]

I am considering knitting Sam Cam a box full of hats as her husband is clearly too cheap to buy her one. If the day meant that little to her, she could've let me go in her place, I'd have managed to put one on my head.

My mother was once told off for wearing one, because "only royalty and social climbers wear hats to church"
I wondered if SC goes to church every week, so hadn't realized that non-churchgoers think that you have to wear a hat for church

[callmemadam]

Ha! I'd love to see what you came up with.

Coverage: well filmed, unbearable to listen to.

This.

I also enjoyed it and ended up watching beyond the "dress reveal", which I wasn't going to do.
I think I am the only person on the planet not enthusing about the dress though.

[callmemadam]

I liked the combination of modesty with showing herself off. Like ooxc I'm not a fan of the kind of wedding dress a bride seems to be overflowing.

[mammadibiba]

I definitely don't like dresses with too much bridal overflow, either. I just think in this case, I was underwhelmed by all the lace (never been a fan), but I was pleased to see she wasn't wearing a meringue.

Some of the royals definitely have no idea when it comes to dressing (Fergie's girls, as you say); it is a good thing that many of them have to wear uniforms.

And you've had a more successful marriage: congratulations!
