Good morning! (Or good evening, depending on where you are.) This is our official open post for The Wedding of the Century! Everything should get going in a short time, and please be nice to us (please!) as we cover every last single little detail for the wedding.
Oh, here’s something: William and Kate are being made into His and Her Royal Highnesses, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. William is also getting the titles Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus. AWESOME.
UPDATES: Most of the guests are there, including a HATLESS Sam Cameron, Posh Beckham, etc. The Princes just arrived! William is wearing dashing red, Harry is wearing black. Both are wearing their military uniforms.
Both CB and I will be live-blogging and commenting, and hereβs a live feed of the events:
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
This will have the wedding at in an hour:
Just saw Posh. She looks… like she went on a diet?!?
OMG, did you see Posh? A little suprised at how simple her dress is… And what’s with that stick up her ass? I’ve honestly never seen anybody more in control of their posture and facial expressions… Like it wouldn;t kill you to smile a little, Posh. It’s a joyous occasion.
Woot! I’m right here with you ladies. Are ye getting the same feed as us? You’d think they’d arrange for a set up that isn’t half-blocked by a shrubbery!
Victoria looks gorgeous. I love this bitch.
Was Victoria wearing a mu mu? She looks amazing but it looked like a mu mu.
Becks could have shaved. And Posh looked nice, but I didn’t like the dress though. It’s not that hard to dress a bump when you’re richer than Croesus
My two favorites so far: Chelsy’s hair and David’s hat.
What’s with the trees in the church? Not working for me at all.
Loving the ridiculous fascinators.
I just want to say how delighted I am with the outrageous hat parade! π
…and it looks like Guy Ritchie came with his gf after all…
The hats are amazing. I missed Chelsy!
Posh on diet? While pregnant?
Tara Palmer Tompkinson’s royal blue hat and off-the-shoulder combo is glorious!! I’m liking her sister’s getup too
IEDIT – wrong person
I MISSED POSH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH *implodes*
OMG! Chelsey looks so damn cheap. Slghtly more covered than I’d imagined, but so damn cheap. Tisk tisk…
Boris johnson, a fellow Old Etonian, is looking about as dapper as he’ll ever be!
Kaiser, I didn’t find Chelsy’s dress too terribly amazing, so you didn’t miss much. Maybe close up pictures will look better than the brief shots I saw.
Mairead- her nose is so fucked! But yeah, the color is amazing.
NEVER MIND SHE LOOKS AMAZING!!!*
*I may or may not have been more excited about Posh than I am Kate…
check out Chelsey’s cheapo ensemble here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1381795/Royal-wedding-Wills-Kate-Duke-Duchess-Cambridge.html
Thanks for that Yasmine! Yeah, Chelsy looks like hell! She didn’t even get her dress tailored!
I hope SO much it’s going to be McQueen!
Victoria did her best trying not to smile.
Ooh, I love the colour of Chelsy’s dress – I adore teal. I like the detail,
@Kaiser. Yeah TPT’s nose is jacked. It collapsed due to cocaine use a few years back and she recently had to reconstruct it a second time.
Oh yuck, that looks way worse up close. Also, her fascinator blends into her hair. Could she look anymore fug?
Speculation that Kate’s dress is from Alexander McQueen’s atelier?
Well I am watching CNN with Anderson Cooper.
And it was mention that Posh, of course, wore a dress from her own line.
I am more interested in what Anderson is wearing. I wonder if he has on his own sassy hat/fascinator for the occasion.
I don’t know who that lady was just now, but MAN that’s kind of a lot of boobage for a church, huh?
Chelsy’s dresses (yes, she’ll be wearing 2) were custom made by Alberta Ferretti. So they were tailored, she just made them look like hell. I like the girl but she looks permanently tired.
They’re saying the dress is totes Sarah Burton, but I still don’t know if Waity is ambitious enough for that. I think the dress is going to be more plain than high-fashion.
Ugh. Chelsy Davey is the new Sarah Fergusson.
TPT, the colour looked FAB on her but her nose is still jacked. PSA of why not to do coke. She had the nose done for the wedding.
I am loving the fact all these very important people are getting bussed to the Church.
I bet it is the first time they have remotely ever been near a public transportation vehicle. π
And I am very disappointed that Elton John did not wear a custom made fascinator.
Here’s the royal twitter address:
http://twitter.com/#!/ClarenceHouse
Elton and David’re looking well.
I like Norma Major’s black and white combo.
Elton & David look nice.
I must be the only one who thought Chelsy looked pretty good. Hair a little bit of a mess, but I liked the suit.
Oh, the Hats! The Hats! I heart!! Def a style I would love to see take off here in the US. *sigh* Becks & Posh are looking hot! Goodness, I am too excited for words!!
Ummmm, I just saw on the CTV live feed, that the rumor is that Kate’s dress is vintage Alexander McQueen.
Does this mean that she wearing those awful armadillo hoof booties from his line too? π
I didn’t know Guy Ritchie is Waity’s cousin ?!
Posh looks awful.
Really? Her cousin, didn’t know that.
Side note, his girlfriend’s hat is interesting.
My guess is between McQueen/Sarah Burton or Sophie Cranston/Libelula π
Oh my goodness, a Filipinio guy in the crowd on The Mall who designed something Elton John would have worn 30 years ago.
wow i just read on the previous post that kate will do her makeup!this wedding will be epic lol!
Guy Ritchie looked nice, but shouldn’t his sketchy pregnant girlfriend actually LOOK pregnant?
Did anyone else notice the matching cast?
Edit: She doesn’t even seem to be showing, but she isn’t due until september apparently. Might be a bit early.
The colour on Samantha Cameron’s dress is gorge
EDIT – she has some pearl hair decoration and lush looking jewellery, to be fair.
And I hated Guy “I’m actually very posh” Ritchie’s gf’s dress. Nice Philip Treacy hat though.
Is it wrong that Samantha Cameron didn’t DEIGN to wear a hat? She looks practically naked.
It was even requested that women wear hats!
will someone please explain what the hell is going on w/ english headwear? some of them work, but half the time it just looks like they’ve got some sort of object or another orbiting their f&*king heads.
i’m up this late working, the headache is on, and now i’m totally confused.
and yes, i hope she goes mcQueen. he was such an artist.
Oooh, the lads are about to head!
@spotchecker – it’s tradition, innit?
I finally got a good look at the hat that is perched on Posh’s head.
And sadly that is a very unfortunate looking hat. With a glitter thing springing off it. I hope she doesn’t poke anyone’s eye out with it.
prince hot ginge alert!!
Finally, they are moving!
Be still my beating heart, Harry you beast!
Wait, William is wearing RED?
You know who looks most inappropriately? I think is our fabfitfun Giuliana Rancic. This is a noon wedding. A Royal one. And she is wearing gold dress, no sleeves and her boobs jump straight to your eyes. Other ladies in the e!studio wear more elegant and modest outfits. I think she feels it was a mistake and she is trying to cover the boobs of doom with her hair.
lmao William is getting married and the camera only has Harry in view. Not that I mind…
Ahhh! They’re showing the brothers riding up to Westminster Abbey!! π So handsome, the both of them!
I’m sorry I’m beating this to death, but I love to pick on trashy Chelsey. Here’s a full view: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1381800/Chelsy-Davy-glamour-stakes-turquoise-shoulder-suit-joins-guests-Westminster-Abbey.html
Harry looks great in black!!
William you drama queen!!he is wearing red!
@ Kaiser – it’s the dress uniform for the Irish Guards, but without the ceremonial bearskin. Although he’s RAF apparently he chose that as they’ve just returned from duty in Afghanistan.
Harry is wearing the Household Guard, the Blues and Royals.
Very dashing.
Can anyone explain to me why America is so excited about this wedding? Just curious, I live in London and I really couldn’t care about it. Same goes most of my friends. Lol just happy I have a day off university π
However all foreigners on campus are so excited! Can’t understand why :S
Harry certainly is stealing William’s thunder. Oh god, William’s bald spot is so bad!
Harry is so adorable.
Wills looks a bit nervous— understandable
Dam that just reminds me so much of Dianas funeral… :/ I remember them marching thru there with that freaky hymn being sung….
ahh thats whats his names father….. lol the guy who Diana dated
Harry is looking more nervous than Wills!
Has the Queen and co arrived yet?
@ #52 Mairead, #53 Haute
oh lordie!…
@ #56 Kaiser
he’s wearing red b/c of his service in afghanistan, to honor the people he served w/. that’s what the talking heads say. i can respect that.
Prince Hot Ginge looks a wee bit more nervous than Wills!
In red??? On no. Harry looks so much better. Can’t believe we still don’t know who designed the dress!
There’s something about a man in uniform, they both look good. Harry’s the better looking brother, baldy looks better with a hat on his head.
Harry is thinning quite a bit on top too.
How handsome the princes are!
Hot Harry…where can I get one of him? Anyone? Please?
@Crystalline that’s exactly what I was thinking too! And the fact that his hair is parted makes it even worse, ’cause your eyes straight to his baldness! If I was him, I wouldn’t take going bald as good as he is!
Poor William. Who made a part in his hair, that really shows off the bald spot?
Looks like Harry is starting to get a little sparse on top, just like his brother! Both do look very nervous.
yeahhh! harry is majorly thinning on top…
This light is making his hair look so much thinner. Its terrible, he needs that hat.
Prince Albert of Monaco looking very well too.
Carol Middleton is on her way – a very nice sky blue dress coat.
@eny, totally just caught her dress. Its so tacky! What was Giuliana thinking?!
I’d say the craic is mighty in those mini-buses!
Dang, I just turned over to E! and what in the world was Giuliana thinking?
It is the early morning and she has on her hooker gear!
And is it a gold lame dress?
Chelsy is wearing a pancake on her head.
The prime ministers wife sans hat-oh the humanity!
Elton Yawn looks like he got the baby weight.
The boys look so handsome don’t they?
Yay…Duchess of Cambridge!! Does this mean that she will be wearing the Cambridge tiara? I always loved that one…so pretty. Also, William has lost a lot of hair!
hahahahaha! carole middleton is soooo orange! perfectly set off by the pale blue dress!
Carole looks really good! I like pale blue on her. The hat is nice too – not too big, too much. She’s very appropriate.
I do like the dress on Mother Middleton. And I really love these morning suits that the men wear.
Ma Middleton looks very nice. Boring, but nice. 9 years she’s worked for this.
The PM’s wife had some kind of headband on. Not completely uncovered.
although, have to agree – Mrs Middleton’s dress and hat are lovely and appropriate π
Carole really should’ve laid off the tanning.
According to statistics, at least one person in Westminster Abbey today will have ‘Chimpanzee riding on a Segway’ stuck in their head.
@ Jen – bwaaaahahahahaha π
Carole Middleton’s outfit is very “appropriate”, but it’s a shame she was almost bullied into something so safe.
The hat is pretty: apparently it’s by a local Berkshire milliner. Keeping it local, fair play.
The MIL looks great, well played! Really stylish and classy, good color dress and great hat.
Oh, I forgot about Beatrice & Eugenie. Chelsy’s not going to be the only hot mess.
Kate’s brother looks quite good, if I do say so myself! :p Also, I really like what her mother’s wearing.
Haha! Is it sad that I’m drinking champagne alone watching the wedding? This is hilarious. I think people are excited because it is a bit of fun in out modern world!
“Oh, I forgot about Beatrice & Eugenie. Chelsyβs not going to be the only hot mess.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So glad I am not the only one thinking that!
@Caitie, not at all, I’m thinking about breaking out the vodka for a celebratory shot.
@ Caitie
I wish I had champagne, I’m drinking tea
The Royals!
I love how they put the little crown on the roof of the cars…!
i just really want to know how on earth some of these hats/fascinators are staying in place – gravity is being defied left, right and centre!
Those are some big-ass hats!
I really like the silk coat with the boat on the back π
Wow, E! is totally kissing Camilla’s bum. Its a bit annoying.
LOL omg, look at Beatrice!
Wow, I am so excited!!!
Can’t believe I’m actually up watching this!
It’s so cool watching all the royals arrive! And the cheering crowds is amazing. Their country really loves them. π
The Queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woo hoo!
awww, look at the queen in her canary yellow <3
I want Beatrice’s fascinator so badly! Autumn looked pretty, well all the girls are looking faboosh. I’m getting excited! So glad I stayed up for this!
Now I love a dramatic Philip Treacy, but that beige Lady GaGa thing actually left me speechless for a while. And not in a good way. I like the fact that their outfits are a little outlandish.
Awwww adorable flower girls
O.M.G how awful do Beatrice and Eugenie look. Chelsey’s finally got some competition for the fugliest dressed at the royal wedding and the winner at the moment is Eugenie.
Beatrice & Eugenie
Okay, the one in blue has a great hat. And a questionable dress.
And the other has a great dress and a nightmare of a hat.
the dress!!damn thats a boring one…
LOVE Camilla’s coat!
Very summery yellow for the Queen.
yuck, HATE the pleats in Camilla’s coat-dress!
Still cannot stand Camilla!
So sad that Diana isn’t here to see this. But I’m sure she’s smiling down on William today.
Ooh, Camila, love the ourfit!!
At least Chelsy doesn’t feel alone.
So excited that the bridal party is now loading into the cars. I can’t wait to see this dress.
wow camilla looks amazing!
Well Camilla looks great. She got that hair blow out properly and the hat compliments it.
here comes the queen
mad I missed Beatrice and Eugenie! π
I’m watching on The Royal Channel – YouTube – they don’t tell you who anyone is but by now, we all know…the Queen!
The Queen is bright yellow! So cute. She’s like a baby chick.
I didn’t like Camilla’s outfit. It’s so boring, but I guess that’s nice. Camilla is boring, at best.
They keep saying that Kate is from a middle class family and she has ‘done well’ I thought her family was quite wealthy?
OMG LOLOLOL! Found pics of Beatrice and Eugenie for anyone who missed it: http://thegloss.com/culture/princesses-beatrice-and-eugenie-are-a-royal-mess/
@ Hautie I totes agree!
LOL!!!!
Looks like the Queen kind of snubbed Camilla! Prince Phillip gave her a much warmer welcome!!
Love it!
Holy cow… the Queen and Philip both are all smiles and kissing on Camilla.
Nice to see they actually like one of their daughter in laws.
I still disagree on Camilla’s outfit, it actually seems to be two toned; I think it’s probably very interesting in the flesh
oh waity, that’s a lotta lace!
Omg!!!!!!
My cable cut off right before Kate got into the car! That was really weird! It’s back on now..
Seeing the top of her dress, I don’t like it. Guess we should wait for the full effect.
It’s looks ivory and has long sleeves and lace!
This glimpse looks amazing. Scandal, bare arms!
@island, those are old shots. I can’t find them yet anywhere!
Kate in the car!
@islandgirl lololololol!!!!!
Kate! The top is so Grace Kelly! I can’t stop grinning like an idiot!
THE DRESS!!! I’m more excited to see the bride than I thought I’d be.
Ahhh….she just got into the car!!! The neckline looks beautiful and I love all the lace!! Like Grace Kelly
Oooooooh… Kate’s on her way….
The Bride!!!!!
Anyone know what tiara she’s wearing?
nice tiara!!
She looks so beautiful. Their fears have to be confirmed now, she is doing great.
Good for waity! This day is such an event! It’s truly amazing π
Looking forward to the vows!
Here comes the bride, from what I can see looks pretty, hair down with a tiara and she’s wearing what looks like a typical lacy conservative wedding dress.
Awww. She’s looks beautiful close up.
I wish them the best of luck!
Omg! The little boys and girls look ADORABLE!!
Well I guess tea is appropriate if it’s 4am! It’s 8pm in Australia!
little kids always make me smile
Very Grace Kelly indeed – wonder what Prince Albert of Monaco will think.
And my goodness Pippa has a wonderful figure!
Oh Giuliana, she could possibly become queen? Someone likes to be a little rain cloud. Must be bitter the attention isn’t on her.
Its being said she might be wearing the Cambridge tiara.
Her bridesmaid sister is really pretty and stylish.
Why is the entire wedding party wearing white? I thought only the bride was supposed to wear white? She looks gorgeous!!!
love the veil π
it’s sarah burton! bbc just confirmed it
She’s waity not more! Amazing!
This is intense!
Wow! I actually love Kate’s dress!! I’m getting excited now!
Very lovely. And such an appropriate dress – fitting for the occasion and location, but the fit and the bustle adding just a little bit of modern interest.
awesome tiara,lovely veil..not so good dress.
Guess the dress is Sarah Burton – Kate looks very pretty and classy – I think she sill has lots of eyeliner on though – she did say she wanted Wills to recognize her π
She looks absolutely stunning!!! So exciting!
do i spy black eyeliner peeping through the veil though?!
She looks beautiful! I’m very happy for her.
Even though I just want to smudge her eyeliner in a bit…
I adore that dress. Classy, classic, rich. Beautiful.
What a beautiful dress! Better than I expected.
You could see her face light up the second she got in. She is so happy and sure, I love it. Looks like she’s already about to cry, which I’m totally on the verge of too.
i’m crying…anyone else? π
VIVE LA REPUBLIQUE!!!
Jeez that’s a long walk!
Oh well, I’m disappointed by the dress, it’s just sedate and it looks like out of a high street shop. I so much wished she’d give it some personality but no, this dress could have been made for anyone by anyone. Sorry but I have a feeling that Zara’s dress (and the wedding) this summer will be something to watch.
You know, watching the boys walk down the aisle, it really hit me realistically rather than theoretically– They’re costumed, and decorated and little more than just pawns for public consumption and ceremony, in the end.
I feel sad for them.
I would not want their lives for a million castles.
Is it a history moment?
I just realize that the people in the back can’t see the front. (the pew area)
And I love the dress. Very classic in design.
I love that Harry was whispering to William.
Damn it all, I’m already crying. Weddings choke me up too much.
Harry is so funny – turning round to look!
@ja true but she looks sooo happy in it!finally the wedding is starting!
ooooh harry is such a cutie, looking at kate and whispering a secret report to wills, could eat him up!
why does harry look soooo nervous? does he have a secret thing for waity?!
Will is still talking π
William’s first words – thanks to lipreading – : “You look beautiful”.
Awww…
Katie’s dress is very nice. Love the petal, pleating effect on the back. Simple, tasteful, surprisingly low cut in front. Notice the short vail , not cathedral length. Very interesting. Tiara nice, very understated. Don’t respect the girl, but she looks GOOD!
Oh-except the black under eye liner. Geez.
She looks great. And that’s really the perfect dress. Let’s hope it starts a trend in the US–I’m tired of brides spilling out of their strapless dresses.
Kinda of disappointed in the dress. It’s a little blah. She just looks like a Victorian ghost.
–Guess I’m not into the lace thing–just looks like a tablecloth covering her arms to me. It is a classy, demure dress, though.
@Ja – oh yes Zara Philip’s dress will be a piece of couture fabulousness.
Sophie Wessex’ collection of feathers – ugh.
Lol, is it just me or did it look like everyone was just pretending to sing?
hmm makeup doesn’t look as bad as i expected..love the earrings!
Doesn’t look like anyone knew the words. It was all so garbled.
Ugh, the liner looks even worse without the veil.
LOVE the dress. She looks like a real princess!
holy blush-face kate!
@Mtn Girl- Nope, I saw that too!
Aww the way William is looking at her is so tender.
LOL at the screams of the crowd outside being audible!
Omg! This is intense!
Harry and William smiled when the crowd outside cheered after William did his vows!
general makeup FAIL!
@Other Chris:
YES. If I see one more bride hiking up her boring strapless dress at ONE more wedding…(oh, but mine is different! it has these pleats/sequins/appliques you can barely see!) Also, strapless is meant for about a third of the women who actually wear it…
I like her sister’s dress better, but Kate’s dress is appropriate for marrying a prince, very grace kelly as someone else said. Now that she’s put up her veil she looks kind of tired.
Wow, he had to struggle to get that ring on!
For a second it looked like the ring wasn’t going to go on!
Haha, William was struggling to get that ring on!
Geez, the bishop has some crazy eyebrows!
thats it?now what?they are praying?
So beautiful. Ugh, I hate all the Camilla discussion. Its probably because I rather dislike her.
It’s not “the bishop”, it’s ABC – the Archbishop of Canterbury!
I love how they kept glancing up during prayers!!
Waity looked up before “amen” and the Queen glanced up at the couple during the prayers too. It was so cute. π
Amazing!
Harry is so hot… π
Lol’s Katie must’ve had a few bites of her dinner last night! Seems she DID do her own make-up (why?) other than that I think they look really sweet and truly in love π
Don’t Beatrice and Eugenie own a mirror or haven’t they gotten around yet to reading the owner’s manual?
@OtherChris- I am so with you!! I am so sick of these tacky horrid strapless dresses that everyone wears….they look good on about 1% of the population. I always planned on having some kind of sleeve for my wedding dress even if it is just a little one
I can’t tell if Pippa is pouting or crying out of happiness for her sister.
Also, their brother’s tie is messed up. Why didn’t anyone tell him?
someone fix the damn tie!
blah, blah, blah, God, blah, blah, this is the boring part!
@ kiko – yes they will have an Anglican service. They will be the future heads of the Church, so it is appropriate and necessary.
Have to share a brilliant comment by my mate Ben:
She didn’t go invisible when the ring went on. That’s a relief, it wasn’t inherited from Sauron
π
I am asking since I do not know. But are those nuns sitting next to William?
Does The Church of England have nuns?
@mairead i didn’t know.. btw the comment from your mate is epic!
Wow, the boys choir is really good.
Don’t know why there are no women though! It’s a little creepy.
Boys choirs are pretty normal, at least from my understanding. They sound amazing.
I noticed the nuns also. These royal weddings have sort of an interfaith feel to them, with other religions participating. William may some day be head of the Anglican church, but to have other religions represented shows respect for all the religions of his potential “subjects”.
I keep wishing they’d squeeze hands or mouth “I love you” or something equally sweet. Guess that’d be inappropriate though.
This anthem was written for the wedding – it’s the first time anyone has heard it. That’s pretty cool.
I loved how they giggled at how doomsday-ish he made that decision statement sound. Too funny.
Here’s a pic of Eugenie and Beatrice, the taupe thing looks like the xmas ornaments made out of paper strips ;0
http://www.usmagazine.com/stylebeauty/news/pic-see-princesses-beatrice-and-eugenies-fascinators-2011294
I love their side glances! They’re trying to be “proper” and official, but it’s so cute how they catch eyes and smile.
Donβt Beatrice and Eugenie own a mirror or havenβt they gotten around yet to reading the ownerβs manual?
———————
Like mother like daughters, it’s in the genes, there is nothing they can do! I hope bad fashion genes is the only thing they have inherited from that awful woman.
Wuv and Mawwage! The Queen looks a little grumpy.
@Mtn Girl – thanks! @Madison – cosign! Just posted the same thing on a friend’s FB wall – the Ferguson genes cannot be denied! Poor girls…
http://www.independent.ie/multimedia/archive/00888/Kate2_888044b.jpg
A nice picture of the dress. You can see that there was an awful lot more detailing on it than shows up on screen.
I didn’t notice the nuns myself, but there are representatives from different faiths there. Even the RC Primate of All Ireland, Cardinal Sean Brady will be there, the first time ever an Irish RC church man has ever done so. He has done much to help mend sectarian divides, so I think it was touching that he was invited.
As for why there’s no women in the choir – the Cathedral school is single sex. Traditionally women didn’t attend monasteries π
Are they singing “God Save the Queen”?
Mairead – Ah, thanks. That makes sense.
Yay! They’re about the leave!! Good!
@islandgirl – you’re welcome. Fergie’s girls are kinda like Chelsy – does she own a bra?
@iggles – Wills and Kate do look happy together!
God, I’m so glad I eloped.
Ah! The commentators are back on. Eck. They suck.
I’m watching the Today show. What networks are you guys watching?
@iggles – CNN
go to youtube.there are no commentators.just a few words on the left side to know whats going on.
I’ve been switching between CNN and E! Call me indecisive. I was watching TLC earlier, but I can’t stand that guy they have from that fashion show.
Iggles – ABC. Lost feed for a bit at that last prayer, but not quite as bad as them constantly talking over each other. :/
I was watching the Today show but they wouldnt shut up and I wanted to hear the church bells and the streets of London instead of them yammering
Mtn Girl – Ah. How do you like the announcers?
Hmm, where’s Harry and Pippa? I really love this. It’s history in the making!
Sparkly – Yeah, NBC lost the feed when Kate was getting into the car.
apsutter – The Today people suck, but I’ve been watching it since 5am so I’m too lazy to switch, lol.
This is so lovely! Kate looks beautiful as their walking out!
@mairead – that is a much better pic of the dress.
@iggles – not bad, they’ve been low key!
Yay – Finally, HRH the Duke and Duchess of the Royal Garter π
Kate looks so confident and sure of herself…I love it! Here’s a woman who knew what she was getting into and was happy to do it. It’s nice to have a woman be married into the royal family and not a girl
Beautiful, cheers all around! ‘Bout time for a swig of that vodka, with the wedding bells and all.
@Iggles I’m watching it on the Today show as well
So cute – Wills was stepping so carefully to not step on Kate’s dress – and he cocked his eyebrows a few times – bet they can hardly wait for a few sips of champagne!
i love Pippa’s dress – the kind of dress i would want for my wedding! π
How I envy the kids in the second carriage!
Eyeliner aside, she has such poise, today especially.
The crowd are going mental!
Now, if you’re considering getting some little memento to remember today by, I’d recommend watching this review first π
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4rqVauL2eI
Now they need to hurry up so we can finally see the kiss. It better be memorable!
Ugh. The commentators are annoying me right now!
Kate’s a lovely girl, but she’s not Princess of peoples’ heart! Stop with the Diana comparisons! Let her be herself, geez!
Awww it was the Queen Mother’s tiara. What a lovely thought.
harry and the kids!!lucky bastards!
I SO wish she had put her hair up and let someone else do her makeup. it looks like everyday on her-nothing special. but thats my only complaint-the styling. dress is great
The handholding moment was adorable.
Aww, it looks like it was just beautiful! I’m sure no one is more happy to have it over with than Will & Kate themselves.
So weird, but in this picture from the coverage of the guests, this looks like Britney Spears – http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/04/29/article-1381795-0BD2CF9700000578-244_306x435.jpg
But I hadn’t heard anything about her being invited, so it could just be the angle making her look similar? Her hair left something to be desired, which is why I’m not sure xD
Hmm. They’re talking about how the Bishop prayed that they would be blessed with kids. I noticed that.
It’s like, well duh! Of course they wanted William and Catherine (ooh, I’m switching to the full name now!) to have children/heirs! That should be shocking.. These people are kind of dumb..
@Hakura: it is one of the three young Spencer girls if I’m not mistaken.
I’m sure a Brit on here could confirm this.
omg is it true that we have to wait an hour for the balcony?
@Bellatrix – “@Hakura: it is one of the three young Spencer girls if Iβm not mistaken. Iβm sure a Brit on here could confirm this.
Thanks for clearing that up =) I didn’t think Britney would’ve been invited to the Royal Wedding, but from that angle, that girl really looks like her. (Or am I alone in that opinion? xD )
They will be appearing on the balcony any minute now… posing for pictures that will become iconic, that we will see for the rest of our lives. Amazing!
BBC America had much better, more “British” coverage with not alot of talking. They also had the class to not constantly compare with William’s mother. It was William and Catherine’s day. They also gave better explanations on the pomp and circumstance of the event. NBC showed the wrong carriage when they talked about which one the couple would be in. They were wrong on so many levels.
You don’t say – Oh man! Why didn’t I think to turn to them!
I wonder what Morrisey has to say about the sea of people outside Buckingham Palace waiting for “The Kiss”
NBC just failed completely with the coverage. Not surprising, they did decide to basically not cover it at the last minute because they thought no one would be interested. I have to wonder what they were on.
this better be a hell of a kiss!
Royal kiss! Any second now!!!
The Kiss!! Beautiful dress, beautiful couple!
Harry is so hot.. Yes, I’m shallow..
Crap. I missed it! it was so short and I was turned away!
Just saw it in slow mo!
Yay!!!! Second kiss! Wow, I’m so ridic..
second kiss!!!
wow that was really short. they stood out there for like 5 minutes.
You’ve got to give her props for not looking awkward at all. And the 2 kisses looked very natural.
I missed the first kiss ’cause it was so short, and he kind of came out of nowhere and did it, but I saw it in slow-mo, so I’m all good!
Aaaaahhhhhhh!
DOH! I totally forgot about BBCAmerica. I watched it on Fox News and they really did a great job covering it.
I thought she looked lovely, and the Wills and Harry WOW!
I wish them a long and happy life together.
Who else wants Pippa and Harry to get together after watching them during the ceremony? Oh to be a fly on the wall for their after- and after-after-parties tonight…
Brittney-I’m with you: throwdown between Pippa and Chelsy.
When I watched the wedding today…I felt I was witnessing a great historical moment in time. Something the likes of which we might never see again. It was 30 years ago when I saw Diana and Charles’ wedding…but this was so much better! Because I think Kate and William were more ready to be in the limelight. Just better prepared in general. So while I am not British…it was a fascinating event to witness!
When I saw William get out of the car, my eyes welled up with tears, he looked so handsome. Harry was looking smoking hot too. I am so happy for William and Kate! I hope they have a long and happy life together.
I wish Diana was alive to see this.
I don’t feel strongly one way or the other about the royal wedding – but I have to admit they both seem very poised and happy. Katie looks radiant.
Congratulations to the happy couple.
I have to work today, otherwise I’d toast the happy couple with a proper (breakfast!) pint. As it is, they’ll have to accept black coffee and the B-version (read: classier version) of the Pistols “God Save the Queen” from ol’ Missy.
I’m with MissyAggravation, who expressed my feelings eloquently enough that I don’t have anything to add.
Congratulations to the happy couple, who truly do look happy. Diana couldn’t have asked for more.
