All I saw was lumpy fabric and tugging at the bodice. The rest of it was beautiful, but the bodice was a disaster. Seems like with all the money she spent on it, the bodice would be smooth and well shaped. She seriously looked like she needed to stuff that bra!

Kate was a Beautiful bride - but she is TOO thin and I agree, it looked like a 1950's artificial bustline ! She's naturally tall and slim, but supposedly weighs just 120 now. She's lost more weight the last 2 yrs. She went from a size 6 to a 2 ?? That's almost anorexic-model size /weight. At 5-10 she should weigh 135-140 Hope she doesn't follow the bulimic route of Diana, always afraid of the camera's eye ...

William is still handsome, but losing his hair too soon ! IMO he looks more like his father now and that's NOT a good thing !! Harry has turned out to be a very attractive young man :)

Yes, he has. And if I was 40 years younger, I'd be on a plane over to "the Old Country" to give Chelsea a run for her money!!

When William,Catherine and the family left the alter they went into the vestry to sign the marriage register to legalise the marriage!!! It is signed by them and usually 2 witnesses. Hope this answers your questions!!!

I thought their last name was Windsor. Think Catherine's bouquet was lily of the valley. Kinda hard to make that real big. Quietly elegant.

At every wedding I've ever been to, the groom and best man face the aisle so they can see the bride as she approaches the altar. It just seemed odd that William had his back turned to the bride until she reached the altar.

There is an article with the headline,"Did William Sneak a Peek" and it has a wide lens shot (video) showing William turning around to look at his bride as she walked down the aisle. The tradition is that the groom should not see the bride until she reaches the alter but he couldn't resist. Very sweet.

I'll try to find the link again and post it.

PKWARD - you said it all beautifully. Let's not any of us find fault with this wonderful celebration. Our world is in turmoil and it is just what all of us needed to pull us out of the doldrums. Thank you so much for posting such an eloquent message.

Yes I thought it went perfectly. No slip ups that I could see.
They did a second longer kiss a few minutes later, and I saw William say "another one?" after that but the camera turned, so I don't know if they did a 3rd one or not.

I was surprised to see Prince Phillip smiling at Camilla and even kissed her on the cheek just before they walked to their chairs for the wedding. All I ever read is how much she's hated by them all. Must not be true. Maybe they're just on their best behavior for the cameras.
Another thing that surprised me is they wore their swords into the church. I know the swords are only ceremonial but I didn't think any "weapon" was allowed in a christian church.

Don't think the royals hate Camilla merely what went on ; she has certainly seemed to have sorted Charles into shape and think that they are grateful for this, the boys also really like her too.
