Wedding...

curiouswombatWell - it was a beautiful wedding, the bride was radiant and elegant, and everyone looked as if they were really enjoying themselves. (With the exception of Victoria Beckham and Countess Spencer, who both seemed to have a nasty smell under their noses and be sucking lemons, and David Cameron who looked, as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gillo said, hunted.)
But I think my previous observation concerning hobbits was born up by the small hobbit bridesmaid on the left -
Actually Grace van Cutsem was very cute - in a slightly grumpy hobbitish way!

I've changed it so that is not a link to the original pic any more, but have copied and uploaded it to my photobucket, so you should see it now.

Date: 29/04/2011 04:29 pm (UTC)VB's shoes were terrible - and I saw (as I looked for a pic of tiny hobbit) that they had had 'extra platforms added to help her cope with 6" heels at this late stage of pregnancy'!

Date: 29/04/2011 05:51 pm (UTC)Actually the dress was rather beautifully plain compared with a lot that you see girls wearing these days - hopefully it might lead to a trend!

Date: 29/04/2011 08:28 pm (UTC)I didn't see the antler's hat, but mom and Zeti did, and they were so laughing over it. Now, I have to see it.

Date: 29/04/2011 09:17 pm (UTC)The sad thing is that she could, probably, look rather good - she has a nice figure, big blue eyes and lovely hair - but at almost any Royal even you can guarantee that Bea will look... weird - and Eugenie a bit better - but only a bit.

Date: 29/04/2011 09:28 pm (UTC)Everything else was wonderful. I love a bit of pomp and ceremony :>) I saw the litle bridesmaid on the news tonight. The poor child looks distinctly unimpressed.
As for VB sucking lemons - does she ever look any different?
no subject
Date: 29/04/2011 10:23 pm (UTC)And you are quite right - everyone at the abbey looked wonderful and as if they were really enjoying themselves. Although tiny hobbit was distinctly grumpy, wasn't she?
As for VB - she could at least have tried to look as if she didn't mind someone else getting more camera time than her!
My daughter thought perhaps she was 'not comfortable appearing in public whilst so pregnant' - in which case, well surely her and David have worked out what causes it by now? And Ben Fogle's wife looked even more likely to deliver during the service and she was smiling!
Actually, on checking up, the person who was almost as sour faced as VB, and managing the Galadhrim-like look down the nose even better, wasn't actually the Countess Spencer - he hasn't married her.

Date: 30/04/2011 08:38 am (UTC)But she would always put style before sense, I fear. I read somewhere that the depth of the platform was to reduce the effect on her balance of the six inch heels, but really it might have been better, just this once to settle for two inches.

Date: 30/04/2011 06:42 am (UTC)Kate was radiant, and her sister was beautiful. Such lovely girls. Harry should think about dating Pippa...
I loved Kate's wedding dress. Perhaps she will start a trend to finally retire the strapless gown. Her dress for the reception was beautiful, too.
I will say that when I saw Eugenie and Beatrice, I gasped and blurted to my husband that they looked like Cinderella's evil stepsisters. I'm sure they are really decent looking girls when they aren't all decked out, but they did look like something out of a Disney cartoon. I suppose it goes to show that one can have money and still be bereft of taste. What amazes me is that you know people told them how sharp they looked when putting their ensembles together.
I used to mourn the fact that American women, with the exception of black church-goers, don't wear hats. I'm not so sad about that any longer!

I can't believe those two fresh-faced young women were the same I saw at the wedding!

Date: 30/04/2011 09:11 am (UTC)I didn't see the balcony bit - I was hanging out some washing and S2C was watching the snooker. I did catch a glimpse, though, later and was more taken with the way Camilla and Charles were helping a tiny bridesmaid to see better than the actual kiss. It was so clear, within the abbey, how much in love they were that the quick peck was more a necessary photo-op thing than a proper kiss!
I hope fervently that that beautiful gown heralds the end of the boot-tube wedding dress, too.
And as you show in your links, Beatrice and Eugenie are both capable of looking beautiful - I don't know if they set out to shock and refuse help from advisors, or just have fashion advisors that hate them!
The amazing array of hats are one of the best parts of the whole event - spotting those that work, and those that don't...
