Wedding...

Well - 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] gillo said, hunted.)

But I think my previous observation concerning hobbits was born up by the small hobbit bridesmaid on the left -





Hobbit wedding



Actually Grace van Cutsem was very cute - in a slightly grumpy hobbitish way!

She was my favourite little bridesmaid, particularly on the balcony with her hands over her ears. *g*

It looked like a very happy occasion to me.

(can't see the hobbit wedding pic though)

The bridesmaids are definitely cute. So far I've seen a great many truly ridiculous hats and a lot of gorgeous coats - and that beautiful wedding dress, of course. Am looking forward to the full fashion shoot. :D

(But Victoria Beckham's shoes! No wonder she looked lemon-faced; her feet looked deformed! *quiet horror*)

It was a very nice wedding, everyone looked like they had a wonderful time.

Very hobbit-like indeed!

That's who the little bridesmaids reminded me of *g*. I loved the way she had her hands over her ears on the balcony and looked generally quite unimpressed. She'll be embarrassed for ever about it later on :)

ETA: And belated congratulations on your wedding anniversary which I missed when I was away :)

The kids were gorgeous - and so glad that they weren't at the front for the whole service ... good planning.

Overall a super morning!

It always comes back to hobbits. *nods*

What a lovely wedding.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the wedding... and yes, that little girl does have a certain Rosie Cotton look, doesn't she!

I only saw little bits of this while I was sitting at the car dealer's, so I missed the adorable hobbit bridesmaid. Thank you for remedying that.

I've only seen a few photographs from the wedding. I could care less about the dress, way to fancy for my taste. I'm waiting for pictures of the horses.

It was all wonderful, wasn't it although I do wonder where little Grace will be amused or embarassed by her performance when she's a bit older!

I saw a bit in the 'net :) The ceremony itself and then the kiss. The wedding was impressive and Kate is a beautiful bride. :)

I loved the bride's dress, her sister's and the bridesmaids. They were beautiful, simple, elegant and to my mind exquisite.

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.

Good God. I hadn't seen Beatrice's hat before. Who on earth advised her to wear it?

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?

In all fairness to Victoria Beckham (and I can't believe I just typed that phrase!) did you see her shoes?? And pregnant? I'd look miserable too!

Mr. Bojo and I watched the highlights on the news tonight. I don't wish to be negative, but all the hoopla before the wedding had just about driven us around the bend, and we'd been trying to avoid any mention of the festivities which were reported, ad nauseum, about every tiny detail for weeks leading up to the event. It was nice to finally have the day arrive! We did enjoy the kiss on the balcony and the tiny hobbit disagreeing with the noise from the cheering crowds. Those are the nice memorable moments of a wedding!

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!

She was gorgeous that little bridesmaid.It was lovely to see a relaxed royal wedding between a couple who seemed truly at ease and happy with each other.
