I absolutely loved it from start to finish. When Wills and Harry walked in I got teary thinking of their beautiful mother. Harry does have mischief written all over him but during the ceremony while the priest was talking he looked pensive, almost sad. I thought maybe he was thinking of his Mum, who knows. I have always loved those boys!!
William and Kate were fabulous in every way!!
What a wonderful piece of history we all had the chance to watch!!!
I heard on the news that Beatrice and Eugenie were sending a message b/c their Mum,Sarah Ferguson wasn't invited. Maybe just gossip, like so much of what we hear. They're young girls, I thought it was funny :)
I want to thank all my British friends for answering questions I wanted to ask.
I have one more though- do you think Kate will be as pressured by the media as Diana was??? I sure hope not.
Please only answer this if you are British! lol
A joyous occasion that I won't forget :D:D

I think the loopy hats are a hoot - probably the only time the girls can poke fun at all of the stuffiness. I attended a Garden Party at Clarence House once, and we were given a book on how we were to behave, dress, curtsy and even what to wear. They no doubt thought that we 'Colonials' would not know how to behave....(There were a few who deliberately didn't wear ties to that one, either).
I enjoyed watching the wedding as everyone appeared much more relaxed than they were in previous times.

The Brits have so many traditions that we americans never will understand! This am on a morning show the "fashion editor" for Harper's really panned Kate's dress. I thought-get a life!! I was at a wedding in a little village in England and it was something I will never forget. Can you imagine a gala event like this taking place in the US?

The Queen felt it was improper to marry a divorced person, thus she pushed for a very young girl to marry her son. A lot of heart ache could have been saved, had he married Camilla and gave up the throne.

I stayed up all night to watch it. I was afraid that, if I went to bed, I wouldn't want to get up that early. It was simply beautiful. Kate was so radiant. They just looked "in love". Hope their marriage turns out better than his parents'. I think that lady in the royal dress and hat that went straight up and down was one of Harry's old girlfriends.
