I am going to start this by saying that I have reached overload on the Royal Wedding…but I’m still gonna put a post about it up cuz I’m that crazy.

Being a night owl, I stayed up to watch the coverage on BBC America – I did jump to MSNBC, TLC, NBC, and ABC from time to time, but pretty much stayed with BBC America. I would have to say that I am NOT a fan of fascinators….at least not the ones worn at the wedding….Mom, Allie, and I all went ick when we saw HRH Princess Beatrice of York and the fascinator she wore…for what she likely paid for it she was overcharged.

As for the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding gown…I liked it, simple yet elegant. I had read an article on line talking about how she really liked Grace Kelly’s wedding dress, and Kate’s gown kinda reminded me of that, having the lace overlay and sleeves (i’d post pix but have no idea about how to do that). Found it interesting that the tiara she wore is no one of the ones most people thought it would be…most people thought it would be the duchess of teck or strathmore tiara. Unlike most people that i’ve seen commenting online tho, I think the scroll tiara (or halo tiara as the press release stated) was wonderful. It had been the Queen Mother’s so it was a nice way for the Royal Family to include her in the day. It will be interesting to see what tiara’s the duchess wears in the future, if it is still the scroll tiara, or if she is loaned another tiara or if one is purchased/made especially for her.

Was also very cute to see HRH The Prince of Wales holding the bridesmaid (i think eliza lopes, who is the Duchess of Cornwall’s granddaughter) so she could see over the ledge of the balcony.

May the happy couple have a long and happy life together….and may we now concentrate on other news events, like the tornados that destroyed the south.
