My Only Royal Wedding Post

[neadods]

Yes, I got up to watch it. It's news that doesn't involve bombs; celebrity that doesn't involve being a drunken, stoned Hollywood has-been. That's the kind of history I like to witness.

The dress was perfect. Streamlined, flattering - and classic enough that nobody's going to be pointing and laughing 20 years later, plus it'll look good on most of the body types that'll be emulating it.

And my favorite crowd moment? The sign being waved that said "Checkmate, Kate, You've Taken the King."

I avoided it like the plague - even turned off the radio because I didn't want to hear it. I hate weddings!

I guess I'll watch some footage, but I didn't get up at 6 AM for OUR wedding-- sure not going to do it for strangers. It'll be all over the internet anyway. But jolly good luck to them.

I SAW THAT SIGN! \o/

(There was also one that said "I'm holding out for Harry." LOL SIGNS)

I agree entirely on the dress and was glad she wasn't wearing that engagement ring for the ceremony.

WHAT THE HELL was wrong with Harry's hair? No one could have combed it? They have no product at the castle?

I loved it. Boo on cynicism. We should have some happy news every day as far as I'm concerned.

That was an amazing dress, yes. Someone on another comm complained it was "just pretty", but I think the thing that stood out about it was precisely the understatedness of it.

Heh, I think my favourite moments were split between a snapshot of the Queen reviewing the troops and Prince Harry going "must... not... grin...", and all the wild and wonderful hats people were wearing for the occasion.
