Topic: Royal Wedding Posted: 30 April 2011 at 12:37am |
I'm amazed there isn't a thread on this already, hahaha! Yes, I'm still up watching this and can't even use baby as an excuse as she's been asleep for a few hours! Just wanted to see the "Royal Kiss"! It was much better than Charles & Diana's, although that wouldn't have been hard. Kate looked absolutely beautiful though, what a stunning dress!!
Righty-o, off to bed now!!

Loved it, she was stunning and they look so in love. My one issue was her veil, I think it needed to be clipped back under her half-up-do when they went to sign the register, she had a bit of a square head.
Loved the Grace-Kelly-esque style she had. And wow, her sister was hot in that dress! (No, I'm not a lesbian  )

We did not stay up till the end so mysky the last hr.
Thought she looked stunning & when they came out of the church & you saw them standing in the door way it looked like a stamp & around 1950.
I think her sister looked gorgeous in that dress. I loved the simple look of the wedding...simply stunning.
Now the guests...did not think much of posh's outfit..& what no hat on the prime minister's wife....

I thought a lot of the "hats" looked like people had boats or a tv satalite on their head!
Thought Wills and Kate looked like a couple very much in love and very comfortable with each other and loved the way they played up to the crowd on the balcony, with 2 kisses!
Loved her dress, thought is was very elegant and classy. She is very beautiful anyway and didn't really need anything too OTT.

[QUOTE=queenbean] Just wanted to add, what a ridiculous hat Beatrice had on. Who does she think she is, Lady Gaga?!  [/QUOTE
Hahaha, I thought exactly the same thing when I saw her sitting in the church, very Gaga-esk!

Did anyone think it was a little double standards when all the men had to take their hats off and the women kept their monstrosities on?
hehe I think Beatrice's hat made her look like she had antlers!
I loved that Will and Kate looked genuinely happy :)

haha i agree about beatrice's hat , i thought she looked like she had raindeer antlers on her head,looked like something for a fancy dress, not a royal wedding!
Kates dress was BEAUTIFUL , i thought william had the cutest look on his face when they were both standing together at the alter , he looked like the cat that got the cream .

agree beatrices hat was crazy, a pair of horns!Posh's hat was weird too as was zara philips hat that could take an eye out! Also noticed the british pm's wife no hat that was a mistake!
Loved kate's dress and veil, but the flowers were a bit small, should have been bigger or flowing as they got lost in the dress.
Why was pippa not carrying flowers?
love a wedding

Someone reckoned that whatever princess was sitting behind the Queen made QE look like she had horns with her hat sticking up. I actually liked Posh's hat though.
Pippa didn't have flowers, cause she had to hold the little bridesmaid's hand. Loved her dress too I want to look that good once I have finished having kids and got myself back into shape.
Personally I hate fascinators. When my bro married an English girl the place was littered with 'em looked like a whole lot of crows had died on their heads. Given it was in church ypu'd expect a hat, but apparently its a huge no no turn up at wedding n the UK hatless, when you'd raely think to wear one here.

Loved the simple elegant wedding, they looked so much in love and so relaxed considering the mountains of people. Beatrice and Eugene looked awful, those antlers . Im surprised they got away with wearing such tacky outfits. Nothing like a nice fairytale wedding

I think Pippa didn't ahve flowers as she had to hold the younger girls hands.
I loved Pippa's dress, didn't think much of Kates personally.

I loved pippas dress too, schmexy! If i ever got married i'd want something in that sort of style, assuming i had the body to match. both princesses had weird weird hats and outfits - who wears beige anyway!?
Prime ministers wife DID have a hat, she probably took it off when she got indoors didnt realise she had to leave it on!
Loved the queen showing up with her blue rug over her knees in the carriage.
Mostly i just LOVED the calvery, i'm a total horse fiend.
I thought they were both cute as cute - and looked like they couldnt wait to get it all over and done with and rush out hand in hand!

Pippa also had to carry Kate's train too. I liked her dress better than Kate's - Bowie like you I think I'd like a dress if/when I get married.
Haha there's a Facebook page dedicated to Beatrice's hat

Bahahaha that's awesome..
I personally didn't like Pippa's dress  and altho Kate's was nice, she had Madonna boobs going on!
The wedding was lovely, and you could so tell that they were just so in love.
The queen didn't sing any of the hymns then i spotted her reading the song book thru the wedding ceremony
B & E's hats were um.....different  when did B get so slim???
I missed the kiss lastnight coz i fell asleep but i watched it on highlights today. Cutee.
How cute were those page boys?! Excited much.

1) Beatrice's fashionater thing...Bambi called,he wants to know why you had his mother's antlers on your head.
2) I thought Kate looked beautiful,elegant,graceful and understated,very Grace Kelly like,and SHE was stunning too so thats a compliment.
3) Pippa...also stunning,man what good looking sisters!
5) I would love to know what was going through all their heads,perhaps Pippa was thinking "stuff this,im gonna marry an accountant"
6) At the altar when Harry turned around according to a lip reader he said "its ok,shes here now" haha
7) I think they make a fantastic couple,so different from Charles and Diana,these two have been together for about 8 years now,and were friends first,they seem like just any other couple...except they are royals.
Hope they have a long and happy marriage

What are the bets on how long it will take till she's UTD?
She's 29 after all probably wanted to get a bun in the oven before she's 30.
