The Royal Wedding

aaron

...was INTENSE! Straight out of a fairy tale, I swear. I didn't even mind that I had to wake up at 2am to watch it on the Pacific coast and still have to go to school.

For all those in the UK, what are your plans of celebration today?

HuffleBen

Yeah it was lovely. William and Kate were very sweet and the whole ceremony was amazing. I wanted to go to London this week, but it was CRAZY. :O

XDMorsmordreXD

The balcony kiss (x2!) was really sweet. I think one of the kids was plugging her ears, cause the crowd was so LOUD! )

Kate's dress is so beautiful.

Yes.
It was very cute

HuffleBen

HuffleBen

Her Majesty came to rename the Royal box after herself.

I Gave her some flowers, she said thank you, then moved on.
It was fantastic!

XDMorsmordreXD

I only watched the kiss; i liked how williams cheeks became red by the second kiss xD

Seeing video's of him and his mom is funny and sweet cause he was so young.

aaron

Kate is seriously so beautiful. It was so cool to see history in the making.

Heading to a street party in a few hours!

How cool! I think they said that Britain had about 100 million pints of beer for today's occasion, or something, didn't they?

HuffleBen

The atmosphere everywhere is just amazing!
From the supermarket to the parks.. It's just buzzing!

Wow, I hadn't heard that statistic. I'll be sure to boost the number. :-))

Alfiewits

My kids got a kick out of seeing places they were at last week. Here is a pic of my daughters sitting on the steps in Westminster Abbey....Almost exactly where Will & Kate walked up.

Sure it was lovely and everything, but PLEASE don't call it a "fairytale". Seriously. That's how they dubbed Diana and Charles's marriage, and we all know how that turned out. :-|

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

They look extremely similar.

aaron

What's your brother's name? Just wondering.

aaron

LOL, that's Darth!

Luckily, my sister and I share the obsession for Harry Potter. I don't think I could stand it if I didn't have anyone to vent to and tell news to every single day. :P

Not in my house. My oldest daughter is a Potter fan...My other daughter is a Twilight fan. On the tour we were visiting the spot where you see Cedric Diggory on a bench. My daughter asked is that where Edward sat. The tour guide goes "I don't know and Edward...But, that is where Cedric sat.".

On a side note. Someone made the comment about "fairytale" and that we shouldn't because of the Prince Charles & Diana deal. I was 11 when they got married and remember it. The biggest difference (and this was backed up by some of Diana's closest friends) is that Charles & Diana were basically an arranged marriage. He was in love with Camilla (but, she was married). So their was never any real bond between them. Whereas Will & Kate did fall in love and actually enjoy being with each other. When Kate was younger she had a Prince William poster on her wall. So in a way it is a fairytale. A commoner marrying the prince.

i keep forgetting aarons a twin.

I couldn't stay up that long, but have been catching recaps on the news. I loved Kates dress. So beautiful.

Cyber-Logic

It was sweet. And I like the way Prince Harry walks, lol.

Seriously, why people care so much abouth that wedding?

zipbags

Its a escape for people.

SwedishSkinJer

Seriously, why people care so much abouth that wedding?

Because many people care about the Royal Family, I would imagine. They're one of the highest institutions in the United Kingdom, regardless if you have more republican leanings or not, and there is still considerable goodwill for William due to Princess Diana.

It's something that doesn't come along that often. Even though it's just a title William is the future King of England. Thats a pretty big deal.

Hess

haha I have no republican leanings at all, but I'm just trying to understand this madness a bit more. I think your reply explains it better, Swedish.

Slantee

Kate looked like a dream. Almost like a veela. It was all so beautiful.

[Deleted User]

So is she now a Princess or just a Duchess?

On one news channel, some English guests said that she cannot be Princess, only Duchess, but other news reports say she's a Princess. How does it all work?

She is The Duchess of Cambridge :-)

[Deleted User]

But she'll never be Princess?

[Deleted User]

Apparently there was an empty seat at the wedding in memory of Diana.

I LOVE that they did that.

Accio_Log

Not sure bout that one.

I didn't know that they did but that is so amazingly touching.

I've had a fab day off work! Kate looked stunning and the wedding was spectacular, I really wasn't expecting to be that affected or moved by it particularly. I've been at home all day with my mates watching it and tonight we're all going down the road to the pub to celebrate, there's literally no one on the streets, it's completely deserted. Such a good wedding, congratulations to the new duchess/princess and prince! =D>

Here's an insider article on the luncheon that was hosted by the Queen for the family and around 650 select guests:

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/inside-queen-elizabeths-fantastic-post-wedding-luncheon/61789;_ylt=AoO0z9Sn..rASWN9PuWh7HIPpxx.;_ylv=3

One reception guest tells Us Weekly, "The reception was lovely. We had to hand our phones in to the cloakroom and were given them back after. Two speeches were made; one from the Prince of Wales and one from Prince William. Prince Charles's speech was just fantastic. He thanked the staff and made a toast to the Queen. He also said how proud he was of Kate and welcomed her into the family. Kate was just immaculate! She had a huge smile on her face the whole time and was just beaming."

Bane

I normally wouldn't give two shits about this but Jesus Christ Kate Middleton is a fucking beast of a woman.

chace483

I swear my fionce is in love with Prince Harry, lol. I'm sure the reception was really great, the canapes they read out sounded really good. They kiss was a bit brief, lol, all my mates are saying they should've kissed longer! By the way, did any of you check out the Will and Kate movie?
It was terrible. The acting was so bad and you could tell half the scenes weren't filmed in London at all, lol :-))
I love how William's mate was like "old boy" during the skiing scene, honestly, no one says that anymore, lol. That was such an American touch from their perception of how people from the UK speak!
Anyway, a great day

I don't really care that much about it, never really have any intrest. Sorry, just my feedback. But good luck to William and Kate.

chace483

William, lol.
