Hi,

A wonderful wedding - well done!!!

The bride looked beautiful - great lace and a workable train; and the groom very handsome all in red....
Loved the Scroll Tiara. I guessed wrong about the Fringe but was happy with this one too...

I thought The Queen and Mrs. Middleton looked the best of the ladies.

Beatrice and Eugenie looked like something out of a science fiction horror show - we all guffawed when we saw them.
Posh Spice - what was that? A pony tail with a black pudding on top and her shower curtains for a dress.... Yuck, and she's supposed to be a dress designer???

Have I got the York daughters the wrong way round? I thought it was Beatrice in blue with the weight problem and Eugenie who runs marathons.

Elegant? That HAT.....

No, I thought that Bea looked fine, the hat was a fashion statement,
the shock was Samantha Cameron... wife of the Prime Minister who attended the wedding
WITHOUT a hat !!! which made her look very out of place...
otherwise she is a very attractive and elegant lady .... just cant believe why she did nt
wear a hat...
with the right hat ... and a few green feathers......she could have stolen the show !!!!!

(what a missed opportunity ! )

Beautiful everything!!!

Somehow in the narrow confines and the ancient walls of Westminster Abbey... the wedding looked quite an intimate.. family affair.
Of course, Charles and Diana 30 years before, were nt married in W'minster Abbey.

Yeah, what Eugenie wore was not that great..that's all I will say.Beatrice looked okay, except for the hat.Catherine's dress looked a LOT like Princess Grace's wedding dress of the '50s.It did look sa bit like Princess Margaret's dress too.It was really understated..whereas Diana, 30 years ago went for an over the top look that ended up being really unique, but which also was typical of the early '80s fashion and years later ends up looking a bit dated.Catherine's wedding look isn't of the moment.. it's more timeless and simple, a nod to the past, but not it in a bad way.I thought she would go for something more unique, considering she was already wearing Diana's engagement ring,, however.The wedding looked like a very happy event for both the bride and groom, and hopefully will be happier than Charles and Diana's marriage.Unlike his parents, this royal marriage looks to be starting off in the right way..Charles and Diana didn't know each other that well well they married, whereas William and Kate have had a long and successful relationship.

Love the dress, was right on the title, the tiara was in my top 3 (though I still would've preferred the Lover's Knot, esp with the new title). Beautiful couple, they looked so happy.
