There's a fair amount of royal-wedding-bashing online, especially by Americans, so if you're not interested, please be kind & keep it to yourself. Yes, the media coverage is a little OTT, but then, that's what media does. The U.S. media coverage of Charlie Sheen's pointless self-destruction & Donald Trump's ridiculous birther claims has been amazingly out of hand (& the later has been genuinely destructive to civil discourse about actual U.S. government issues). So where's the harm in talking about a wedding dress? I try to keep this in perspective.
Anyone else watching the wedding? I'm especially interested in seeing what kind of hats the female wedding guests will be wearing -- I adore good millinery!
I really love this outfit, you look royally hot! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the pin!
ReplyDeleteBeing a Canuck I think I'm supposed to watch the wedding...but I'd do it anyway! My mom, BFF and I all got up at some ungodly hour for Diane's many years ago and had a blast, why not watch her sons?!?
If you like hats hats, have you seen this site/blog...

She blogs about all the royal hats. I've only just found it and I love it!
Eep...hadn't thought about that other royal wedding for a long long time, but yeah, I remember where I was then too...whodathunkit? (Gosh we're old. Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
ReplyDeleteI'm watching it right now ^^ I loved her veil.
ReplyDeletePretty brooch!
Awesome outfit.
ReplyDeleteI caught the recessional after my shower, but I didn't think to watch the BBC. They had an historian doing commentary, and apparently he managed to get the reign of Harold II and Edward the Confessor.
That brooch slays me. I adore crowns.
ReplyDeleteDidn't watch the wedding, but drooling over the photos right now!
I wasn't intending to watch, but I got home from work & found my 7 year watching it & all excited. How could I not join her? Her teacher got them all excited about it, helping them find youtube videos of Charles/Dianna & Andrew/Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI was unintentionally awake early enough to see the wedding in live coverage, but sadly, was not near a telly most of the time. I did get to catch a glimpse of the Royal Couple, and I think Kate made a great choice with her wedding dress. V. classy & pretty. And YAY SLEEVES.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your skirt & the crown pin in this outfit.

What a beeautiful skirt! Looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't watch the royal wedding only partly when they had it on the news.
I did not watch the wedding because I actually didn't even know it was happening, but let me just say that people who are bashing the wedding need to just get a life and grow up, seriously. Anyway, that said, awesome outfit! Love the crown!
