I feel sorry for William and Harry having to face her knowing the relationship with her and their father when he was married to their Mother Diana.
I am glad the wedding wasnt over the top and they made it as simple as they could still being royals.
I loved her gown and thought it didnt over power her.

I think I am the only one who thinks the dress was a bit poorly made. What the heck was wrong with the bodice? To me it looked like she was wearing one of those cone bras from the 50's and didn't have enough to fill it out, so it was all crumply under the dress. All I saw was lumpy fabric and tugging at the bodice. The rest of it was beautiful, but the bodice was a disaster. Seems like with all the money she spent on it, the bodice would be smooth and well shaped. She seriously looked like she needed to stuff that bra!

today, it's t-shirts, cut-offs and sneaks.....
times do change, don't they???
