Wedding...

[curiouswombat]

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 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!

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!

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

I get the impression that you had more on your television in the weeks and months before than we did. I avoided some of the pre-wedding stuff, but I did watch a couple of very interesting documentary programmes looking at Royal weddings over the ages - going right back through the centuries rather than just Diana in her duvet.

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...
