I loved so many of the ladies outfits and their hats as well. There were some that were pretty wild but God bless them for wearing hats. All our old movies show that ladies here in the states used to wear them, I wonder why they went out of fashion.
Loved Kates dress, it was perfect for her. At first I thought it was a little subdued for a royal wedding but it only took a minute to see that it was very elegant and I realized the simplicity of it made you focus on the bride herself. I do have to say that Diana's dress was just incredible to me. I loved everything about it, those puffy sleeves and all, to me it trully said fairytale.
Someone mentioned the bouqet being a little small and I agree. That was a bit of a surprise to me.
I finally had to go to bed at a little after four and I was watching it on my computer so I'll see the rest of it on tape but I have a few questions about what I did see and if any gals from England can help me with it I would be greatful.
When The Queen came in to the church she was greeting some of the clerics at the door. I saw Price Charles give her a kiss on the cheek then it seemed like Camilla may have asked if she could give her a kiss because the Queen looked at Camilla and sort of shook her head and then Camilla curtsied. Maybe I was reading that wrong but I guess my question is .........is a daughter in law not allowed to kiss the Queen?
Second question is about the nuns up there on the altar. Does the Church of England have nuns like the Catholics do and if so how did these nuns get to be at the altar?
When the bride and groom along with the parents and Harry and Pippa went through a door at the altar was that to sign a marraige registration or was that for a civil ceremony? I remember when Charles and Camilla got married it seemed like they had a two part wedding at two different places. I haven't seen the whole coverage and someone mentioned that Charles and Camilla looked happy but when they walked into the church Camilla didn't look happy at all it seemed that she was a little under the weather.
I'm so sorry to go and on but this is such a happy event and I know after crying about all the devastation of the tornadoes last night it was comforting for a couple of hours to see some brightness and happiness in the world.
Daughters-in-law are allowed to kiss the Queen with her permission, but not THIS daughter-in-law. There is no love lost between them. At her own wedding, Camilla reportedly was a little under the weather because she was nursing a royal hangover from her prodigious gin habit. And the nuns were from the Anglican Order the Sisters of the Church, one of whom I believe is a Chaplain at the Abbey.
