Royal Wedding

I hope you all enjoy reading our snippets about the royal wedding.

I saw the reruns this morning.....and Kate is just beautiful!!!! Her dress is a lot like Princess Grace's and they've been comparing them as such. It's more of an older fashioned look but I suppose that's what they have to go for. It would probably be frowned on to have a modern tight dress!!!!

I just love how the people love her!! Personally I think that the two of them are a good match and I hope that things go well for them.

I think that Kate's mother was trying not to cry.....after all this was her first daughter getting married (I think) and that's hard but then to also marry into such a royal family!! I'm sure she was very overcome with emotions. Just think of everything that Kate's going to have to deal with.....just getting married is hard enough without all of the royal stuff that goes with it.

Everything was just beautiful!!! I too loved Pippa's dress!!! They've been showing some of the hats that the women wore......very different!!!!

I saw them exchange vows before my bus route. So beautiful! I really hope they make it forever, they sure look like they are in love...unlike Charles at his wedding.

[DianaB]

I just saw where they kissed twice!!! How sweet!!! Kate and William both look so happy!!!!

I thought it was so cool when they left in that Aston Martin car....(is that how you spell that?)

I sure did! That was fun to read!

She is gorgeous, and I love her dress! Her sister's dress is also beautiful. Is she going to be Queen someday? I thought you had to be born into that.

Some of the guests' hats were magnificent!

I wish them all the happiness. It is a happy thing to watch a wedding~!

I think she will be queen if William ascends to be the King. She will never be a ruler like Queen Elizabeth. If William becomes King and she becomes Queen, and if William should die, then Harry becomes the ruling King. Of course I could be completely wrong about all of this.

I have enjoyed all the follow up to the royal wedding. It was a welcome relief from some of the more horrible news stories.

You are right She will be Queen consort. If William dies before having children, Harry would become King. If they have children, their children will be next in line to the throne.

Did you know that Kate will be the first commoner queen-to-be in over 350 years? She has no royal background at all, no ties to the royal family.

Hi... I too have really enjoyed watching the wedding, and they both looked so happy and comfortable together, it was a wonderful day.

I think Charles always had the option to marry Camilla all those years ago, they were actually formally courting each other. However Charles went away on military duties.... and darling Camilla went and married someone else, she chose not to wait for him. I just dont like her at all.....

I love most of the Royal family... however i do feel that Charles put Diana through a lot of misery, (I know she was not perfect either), but with Charles still involved with Camilla... their marriage did not stand a chance. Diana herself quoted in an interview "There are three people in this marriage"

So sad........

I thought that the royal courtiers didn't think she was a suitable match for him, so they encouraged him to marry someone else. Either way, it was terrible for everyone

I am not 100% sure, but she has always been very well liked by the Royals, so though she may not have been ideal.... I think he would have gotten the Royal seal of Approval.

Hi Diane! It's so nice to have your perspective! All we get are (mostly) Americanized reports! Anyway, I got up at 4:30AM to watch the wedding and I loved every moment!

This thread, and the one about the elections in Canada have been so interesting! It is great to get the true picture about what is going on in the world.
