The Royal Wedding - my verdict


Well, it was great, wasn't it?


Molly was very impressed...


And no, of course I wasn't holding her favourite treat to make her pose nicely...


For any of you that might have missed it, I took some piccys off my ancient little tv. Hah ha!


Didn't you love the trees inside the abbey?
I went there about 12 years ago but I don't remember it being so vast.


Gorgeousness!



Those beautiful horses!



Wasn't she so lovely and smiley?



And the kiss!!
I'd have liked it to be a bit more smoochy, but with 2.5 billion people watching... no pressure :)


My verdict?
Well, of course I loved it!
William and Harry  - so handsome!
Pippa the bridesmaid - gorgeous dress, very stylish
Kate - loved the McQueen, such a great choice. Loved the silhouette, loved the lace.
Loved the expressions on the choir boys' faces.
Posh - what a stunning, if not somewhat kooky hat, but she looked remarkably stylish
Princess Eugenie - seriously, did she look in a mirror? What was she thinking? I'm all for avant garde hats but her ensemble was a bit odd. :)
PM Julia Gillard - not a bad ensemble, despite wearing yet another cream jacket!
And for anyone watching the Australian broadcast...Edna Everedge - did she seem a little tipsy to you?
All in all, a great event.
Loved it!
Have a great weekend peeps :)
xx

    Oh I loved Edna, she added a bit of fun, but she always seems tipsy these days ha. Laughed at your comment about Eugenie,I could hear her Grandmother saying...just like her mother..ha with a big eye roll too. I am a Katherine Elizabeth so it was strange hearing William say his I do's..sigh. Love what you did with the pics!! cheers katherine

    Oh boy did the Middletons steal the show or what??!! Found it all pretty faultless, including the Beckhams, loved them, even if David did wear his KBE on the wrong side.
    Eugenie & Beatrice, who let them get into the panda makeup, really??
    Did you notice how glam the Princess Michael of Kent family mini bus looked, amazing!!
    Yay for weddings, i still love mine, 14 years later, including the man i married. Love Posie

    Yes, I loved it too. Mind you if Molly had of been there looking so spiffing she might have stolen the show. I loved the dress and Pippa's everything really. sigh.

    I loved watching the wedding too. I adored her elegant dress, reminded me of Grace Kelly's whose dress I've always loved. I agree that the bridesmaid dress was equally stylish and as for Princess Eugenie's hat - I thought the same - why didn't someone tell her how ridiculous it looked??? :)

    Wasn't it just gorgeous?! Kate looked as a princess should, she looked stunningly, classically, beautiful and William's reaction to seeing her was perfect! It is a fairytale come true! I hope they live happily ever after! X
