Thanks for info on the bouquet.
I am SO glad this is over but am SO disappointed in the wedding itself and I kind of hoped it would change my pov around a bit so I tried, I really tried to sit back and enjoy what you guys do best, but all it did was solidify how low-end and phony baloney this thing is and kind of insulting to the pageantry of the BRF - it wasn't much to see or enjoy and super stilted and stiff.
I really don't get the 5-month secret-a-thon over a very, very plain dress that has been around forEVER. Princess Grace, as you all have stated, did it the right way. This? They're saying this morning that Pippa outshone the bride. Wrong. She looked like she was doing the walk of shame after a '70s disco night in that way too sexy for the event slinky thing. But, the media will screw it up and so on and so on.
Most women, so far, from what I've read here in the States expected more after all these months for WK to come up with. Boring, bland, dismal, dreary, funereal are the words associated with the whole bomb.

I am just watching a summary of the day.
Why wasn't William watching Kate walk up the aisle?

Well, although I feel like this dress is something any woman here in America could have found in her local Alfred Angleo store, I do like it. My question watching this whole thing was were did all the money go? The dress was rather plain, so was the ceremony, so what the heck did they spend millions on? However, I think that people are saying the whole thing is too plain, but then if it were truly out of this world, everyone would be complaining how they are showing off during a time of recession.

That's a valid point, Delilah and it was a lose/lose no matter what. But, the dress at least could've been an aaah! moment after all of this hype and it just wasn't. And I find it really tacky for the bridesmaid to wear a white slinky dress. It also lacked a certain JOY that I hoped for. I really did.
As for where the money went? Time will tell. Security mostly and whatever godawful parties were thrown afterward. All in all, depressing, not uplifting and I would think the British taxpayer would've rather been uplifted than seen plain jane and her TOTALLY disoriented and frightened rabbit of a groom.

Grace and Diana Fan - !! YOU put it ALL in a nutshell. Exactly. I posted elsewhere, but I, also, thought it was all so downplayed, simple, NOT showy, NOT regal, and quite plain ! I love your post ^ !
Eugenie - I only know this because Yahoo news explained it..it is tradition, PW cannot see his bride until she reaches his side. He needs to be the LAST to see her.

So I'm watching a recorded stream right now, gathering the Prince Harry bits, and whoa, did William look effing nauseous during the vows. Then when he says I Will or whatever, he juts his chin out, like he's trying to spit it out as quickly as possible.
He also looked normal and friendly before Kate's arrival. Once she starts the walk, his seems to close off.
Side note, there was a reason for Harry looking down with his hands placed like he was at a solemn event. He supposedly got a little...excited and was using his hands to cover it up. There's a photo on D-listed of him grabbing himself like he's trying to adjust things as they leave, among others.

I don't think William is in love with Kate by reason that he would have married her years ago ... he was dithering. It clearly isn't about royal duties, since he's still not prepared to do them. :rolleyes: I think this is a marriage of convenience, or perhaps he has convinced himself that he loves her, I don't know. Whatever. :wopedo:
I think he's gay though, which explains many things to me. But that is just me and a couple of others (Yooper and one other). :whistle:
The DM has updated photos and even Kate's hands look old, dry and flaked.
delilah: good point re William not watching her walk down the aisle ... I thought that strange too. Most men are waiting for their bride and cannot wait to catch a glimpse of the woman they love. Thanks for explaining Lanvin, not sure I believe that though.
I was disappointed because I expected to see some colour! What is wrong with a bit of colour?
... when I saw Pippa and the little ones all in white, I nearly gagged in disbelief, frankly. Some colour for Pippa and the little girls wouldn't have cost any extra.
This wedding wasn't done entirely on the cheap - that was a lie. Those hideous trees cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.
All in all, most of the money went on security ... and that figures, since the royals didn't want to open up their own cheque books for this event. Waity chose to spend the budget on planting trees in the Abbey, when she should have hired a stylist and makeup artist. :whistle:
I've seen far nicer weddings and prettier brides walking past St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney on a Saturday afternoon. I think people confuse the pomp and pageantry with everything being better than any other wedding. :sigh:
Mousie: HM looks to be thinking: "ok, you can stop licking my shoes now, dog - go away!" I heard that HM despises sycophants, and I'll bet she has Waity pegged. :June: I've never seen HM stick her nose in the air like that. :-
Did anyone else notice that the Midds are acting all coy all of a sudden? :June: They just remind me of Grade A users - fakers, IMO. :rolleyes:
Good posts, everyone.

William did, at one point, turn around and look. Then he immediately turned back around. So either he failed at not looking, or he failed at wanting to watch his bride approach.
There is a stream from PBS:
www.ustream.tv/recorded/14349295 - Part 1 (Arrivals -> Ring)
www.ustream.tv/recorded/14350740 - Part 2 (
Didn't watch, sorry!)
if you're interested!

I think it was Yooper who said they looked like they were at a funeral. Very true. So sombre and not in a good way.
The whole thing was Dullsville. Very bland and boring, just like the bride. :June:

People are seeing her second dress on way to Party, it is said to be gorgeous, has a crystal belted waist, no tiara, supposedly.....anyone have photos? People say second party dress is beautiful. :Kate:
I think as a couple William and Kate are a bit dull. Lovely ceremony, but really not a lot of Pomp to it, it was even flatter than Pr.Edward's wedding, at least he seemed excited.

I don't like it because again, it is so plain. How about some colour, Kate? :-
The dress may be nice, but it just hangs on her and looks like a sack. :ick:
It's as though Kate is so desperate to act royal, she's being so bland now, more than she ever was.
Mohair cardigans went out 20 years or more ago. :tehe: Ok, her hair does look nice now.

After Victorias wedding I felt happy, but their wedding? I don´t know how to describe. So (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm47/GuruSY/th_sleepycat.gif)
At least Harry was hot!

Why would you want a body like that? It's not healthy. :- Kate has dieted to extreme, or she's ill - either way, it's not good.
Just to advise: the DM is rigging the red and green arrows. Every comment praising Kate has lots of green arrows, and any detractors are flooded with red. Freedom of speech and democracy, my butt. :eightball: bignono
I can't get over those who call her stunning ... what do they call truly beautiful women?

It the same for me *Eugenie*, quite confusing. :think:
I can't believe it's over already. I thought the wedding itself was pretty boring, couldn't they have chosen a few not so boring songs.
I'm still not sure about Kate's dress, I actually liked, that it was simple but at the same time it was maybe a bit too simple.
But Harry looked amazing as always. kisss

It is not really a tradition in Britain to not look as your Bride approaches it is what Kate wanted. She wanted William to be the last to see.
I know Harry looked and said something to William ( I wish I knew what ) but I never saw William look.
As for Kate's party dress....I HATE the fur ball she has on her arms :bored:

Thanks Mousie and me too re 'fur ball'. I thought she would go for something a little more modern, to be honest. She has surprised me, I'll say that about her.
Getty has a lot of pictures and Waity is talking, placing her arm out, as she did in interview, when she's trying to act intelligent. :rolleyes: This woman is a hoot, a real joke: never worked a proper day in her life by 30 and thinks she's knows it all. :rolleyes:
The BRF ought to be ashamed to introduce such an airhead to visiting dignitaries - at her age. Oh, how the US President got lucky! Hey, maybe that is why he wasn't invited? HM was ashamed? :-

I think that even though she is wearing all white today, she could have added a colored sash, or SOMETHING. Funky colored shoes, lipstick, nail polish, anything. Also having seen the picture of her ex from the wedding, he looks yummy. :lips:
