Because I am sort of a dork

I am up and watching the BBC coverage of that wedding they have going on over there. (BBCAmerica is in HD in our area, so that's cool.)

30 or so years ago I was up watching the Charles & Diana wedding. It was the summer that some of my friends and I took PE class in summer school (and isn't THAT a whole different story) to get it out of the way

Me, too (wedding, not gym). I think Kate's dress is quite lovely.

It doesn't look like she's stopping to lay her bouquet on the tomb of the unknown soldier, though, which is unfortunate. Or maybe they just haven't gotten to that bit yet.

It was a lovely dress, and I loved the moments when they smirked at each other (and when it looked like William was trying not to laugh).

And re: the bouquet the CNN blog says "Catherine Middleton will also honor tradition by giving her bouquet to be placed at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier inside Buckingham Palace." So not the poppy-lined memorial at Westminster.

Hmmmm. Would the Queen Mum have approved?

I wonder if they were thinking someone might filtch the bouquet from the somewhat open Westminster and sell it on Ebay to Windsor fans. Sadly, not out of the realm of possibility.

Maybe they just like to spread it around to all the different memorials. (is the one at Westminster indeed an unkown soldier, or some other kind of war memorial? was the one at St. Paul's for the Diana/Charles wedding? I'm not up on all of them.)

It was a lovely wedding. :-)

It was! With a lovely dress and some nice smiles (and smirks!) and a gazillion crazy hats. All that you could ask for, really.
