[Tx4obama]

1. Kate's sister Pippa and the kids are SO CUTE! :) n/t

[RandySF]

2. Somewhere in New Jersey

A vulgar real estate hukster is getting a look at what class really looks like.

[JI7]

3. why do you keep posting this ?

[calimary]

4. No kidding!!!!!

He's the male Snooki - or maybe it's just schnook.

[cali]

36. this isn't class. class or "classiness" or whatever you want to call

it has nothing to do with this.

[dmr]

5. I didn't think I would be, but I'm engrossed

CNN is very colorful! The gossip!

Kate's sister is gorgeous.

[Whisp]

35. isn't she though? so svelte and gorgeous

[pnwmom]

59. Elegant and beautiful. Not Disney-landish.

:)

[madmax]

106. Here, here!! :toast: Loving it. nt

[pnwmom]

6. The dress reminds me a bit of Princess Grace's, more so

than Diana's, anyway.

[Tx4obama]

46. Princess Grace's dress was even more beautiful.

I think Kate's dress was beautiful, but I didn't like the 'V' neck on it.

[pnwmom]

101. I don't mind the V-neck. She wouldn't want the dress

to look too much like anyone else's, even Princess Grace.

[RandySF]

7. Sort of disappointed by the dress

I was hoping for a more modern look.

[JI7]

11. the strapless corset top with poofy bottom dresses that is so popular ?

[RandySF]

14. I was looking for something more angular

To go with her frame.

[RandySF]

21. Well let me rephrase

I like everything except the skirt and train.

[pnwmom]

24. I hope it starts a trend away from the modern look.

I'm sick to death of strapless ballgown type wedding dresses.

[Raine]

43. I am too

some of them are really in bad taste with too much hanging out.

[distantearlywarning]

112. +1

I love the dress - very classic and classy. It was the type of dress I wish I could have found for my own wedding a few years back (but alas was only able to find 8000 sleeveless, strapless dresses).

[WolverineDG]

142. Yes, very classy

some of the wedding dresses I've seen lately look down right trampy.

(damn kids, get off my lawn) ;)

dg

[Whisp]

Me too. I'm not sure what I was expecting but

this seems so regular bride magazine dress? I don't know what it is but was dissappointed. Not much originality probably.

But I love all those Ladies wonderful hats. O my!

[pnwmom]

53. Not really. About 95% of dresses are strapless these days.

The selection was quite small when my daughter wanted a dress that wasn't strapless. So this is a refreshing change.

[dmr]

8. A very beautiful bride. n/t

[calimary]

9. Fancy hat in the front seat, conveniently blocking the view of the bride.

"Keep calm and keep waving."

Lots of cheering. The banks of cameras and studios facing all this is amazing.

Oh they're pulled up to the church now.

Little bitty bouquet, considering.

LOVELY dress. Really nice. SHE's wearing it. In Diana's case, the dress wore her. No 25-foot train. More like maybe 10.

NICE dress. She's beautiful. Nice job!

GREAT overhead shot. Beautiful. Not garish. Elegant and tasteful.

[calimary]

15. Here we go!

Strike up the band!

[calimary]

27. He just saw her and said "you're beautiful."

Awwwww....

Another knockout shot from overhead. HIGH overhead.

The British sure do know how to do this stuff.

[Terra Alta]

10. Kate is such a beautiful bride.

I told myself I wouldn't be watching this.. yet here I am, at 6 in the morning, eyes glued to the television set...

[madmax]

20. me too. And I don't regret it

Of course I don't remember everything about Princes Diana's wedding but, my feelings are that this is so much more real. Even though its Royalty - it has a simple, charming and modern sense to it. It just 'feels good'.

[dkf]

23. Yup. The op got me.

[Tx4obama]

78. Glad to be of service :) n/t

[reorg]

164. didn't know who this woman was

until a picture search provided this clue to me:



Okay, let's watch.

[madmax]

12. I love this dress -

it's so sleek, unlike poor Princess Diana's that seemed to weigh her down with just toooo much - everything. Perhaps an omen.

I think Princess Diana would be quite pleased with her new daughter-in-law.

[pnwmom]

13. Me, too! A lovely dress on a lovely bride. Hope her mascara holds up!

[calimary]

134. One of the women commentators on CNN earlier said that when she saw Diana get out of the carriage

and her dress was finally revealed, all this woman could think of was "unmade bed." Because the silk taffeta was so wrinkled from having been folded into that little coach. The designers had to smooth it all out in the vestibule before she proceeded in. She was almost eaten up by that dress, but I remember reading at the time how there was a sense that the dress had to be an event because of the status of the bride wearing it - then presumed to be England's future queen.

[msanthrope]

157. "Crumpled Kleenex" was what Diana's gown was called. n/t

[calimary]

178. OMG! Have you checked out "Princess Beatrice's Ridiculous Royal Wedding Hat" on Facebook?

"Homage to Lady Gaga AND Furniture Warehouse in one fell swoop. Genius"

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Princess-Beatrices-ridiculous-Royal-Wedding-hat/203705509669392

Somebody just posted on there calling it one of the "alarming fascinators" with which our girl Beatrice seems to be much taken.

THIS is among the MANY reasons to take in the whole thing. I absolutely LIVE for this stuff. I've been laughing for HOURS. The gossip's been great, the random one-liners like "it's not often you see prime ministers on a bus" and "you better be good when you're singing 'Jerusalem' if you're sitting next to Elton John." And the hats. It's wonderful and elegant and hilarious and silly all at the same time.

I just love the shots of people celebrating in Hyde Park and across from Buckingham Palace - how long has it been since we've seen so many happy people? The last few times I can think of, it's half-a-loaf of happy people because it's some sporting event where one side won and the other side's bummed out, or an election - like Barack Obama's, where there WAS such celebrating but it was juxtaposed by glowering pouting GOPers. THIS is just a whole lot of EVERYBODY looking happy and smiling and laughing and jumping around and dancing together and waving flags and celebrating and cheering. It's just such a morale booster! And Richard Quest on top of it all.

It's a shot in the arm that I think the whole world has needed.

[JI7]

16. i like the dress a lot, it's nothing that i would have expected

i never would have thought it would have long sleeves.

someone else said hopefully it means more people will get sleeves.

strapless is ok but the problem is too many people who can't and shouldn't be wearing strapless have been getting it.

[tilsammans]

96. Yes! Sleeves are BACK!

I'm so sick of seeing strapless bridal gowns for so long. Thank you, Kate!!! :applause:

[pnwmom]

110. Me, too. When my daughter was shopping for a dress a few years ago,

I read that 95% of the wedding dresses sold here were strapless -- and that seemed about right. The selection of non-strapless dresses was so small, but she found one. It had lace all over and was beautiful. A similar, traditional feeling to Kate's.

[Raine]

17. I LOVE her dress!

I like it so much better than Diana's. Kate's dress is so simple and elegant, very classy! :applause:

[SoCalDem]

97. Me too.. simple, elegant & modest

notice the lack of jewels too.. Classically understated:)

[pnwmom]

128. I hadn't even noticed -- you're right. Just the tiara.

Anything else would have been too much.

[dmr]

18. What's the best is that they LOVE one another. n/t

[Tx4obama]

30. I believe so too. n/t

[pnwmom]

40. Yes -- so much emotion, from both of them. n/t

[joshcryer]

19. Just woke my mom up (4:05AM here), she was so happy, she fell asleep, ehehe.

:hi:

I don't know why I'm watching this but I'm on Skype with my mom and she's happy, so I'm happy. :)

[Tx4obama]

22. Love the bride, dress, tiara, and veil, but the bouquet looks too small. n/t

[Raine]

28. Yeah the proportion doesn't seem right

they said that it has myrtle in the middle that was from a sprig grown from Queen Victoria's wedding bouquet.

[madmax]

25. Can someone post a pic of Di's Gown and

Catherine's. I'm a dolt in that department.

[tomm2thumbs]

26. nice ceiling shot

[jberryhill]

144. They hired Ceiling Cat to take those

[tomm2thumbs]

173. heh heh heh - got a laugh off that one!

[LynneSin]

29. The Designer is Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen

I like the fact that although it has a train it wasn't obnoxiously long like Diana's train was.

[pnwmom]

34. I think it's a standard "cathedral train."

[LynneSin]

38. It does look shorter than this (Diana's Dress)

[pnwmom]

48. I think I heard her designer say that one was 25 feet long.

[Raine]

55. I didn't like the train on Diana's

I thought it was rather ridiculous, almost cartoonish because it was so darn long.

[LynneSin]

62. Her's was tolerable but Sarah Fergeson's was just downright tacky

I kinda felt she wanted to be a Diana Jr. instead of being her own person. I knew that wedding was doomed from the start. I just hope that Harry has better luck with finding a lifemate

[Raine]

108. YIKES, I had forgotten hers. Yeah very tacky! nt

[Lucian]

31. Who was the woman following behind Kate down the aisle?

She was stunning. More so than the bride.

[Scooter24]

32. Her sister

Pippa Middleton

[OneGrassRoot]

33. Her sister, Pippa....

I was clueless about this whole wedding (well, I knew it was occurring) until an hour ago, when I got sucked in....

No bridesmaids other than her sister though?

[pamela]

37. Pippa Middleton

Kate's sister

[Lucian]

71. I wonder if she's single.

I'd like to hook up with her.

[BigBearJohn]

39. I am PISSED OFF at ABC News!!!

I find it EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE AND DISTRACTING to being watching the Royal Wedding and to CONSTANTLY see "ABC NEWS THE ROYAL WEDDING LIVE" ***CONSTANTLY*** being displayed on 1/5th of the television screen. HOW UTTERLY UNPROFESSIONAL, MERCENARY, AND THOUGHTLESS OF ABC.

[Tx4obama]

41. Here's a link below to watch online

http://www.justin.tv/live_news#/w/1129227568/36

[BigBearJohn]

50. Thanks!

[RandySF]

42. I have to hand it to William and Kate

They managed to say "for richer or poorer" with straight faces.

[madmax]

44. Will the reception be televised? nt

[RandySF]

47. And does Wills get to toss the garter?

[Tx4obama]

57. Don't know about the garter, BUT the bride will NOT throw the bouquet....

the tradition is to place the bouquet at/on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

[pnwmom]

64. No. n/t

[Raine]

63. I don't think they televised Charles and Diana's

I don't remember seeing it. I haven't heard any of the talking heads say whether this one will be or not.

[pnwmom]

65. I remember seeing them say their vows -- Diana getting his name order mixed up.

So they televised that much, anyway. But no, I don't remember anything about the reception.

[Raine]

70. Yeah I saw the vows too but I don't think they showed the reception

I remember them on the balcony but don't recall anything having to do with the reception.

[Tx4obama]

69. After the ceremony they will be filmed riding thru the streets in a topless carriage ....

on the way to Buckingham Place.
Then later they will emerge from Buckingham Palace with 'family' on the balcony, and the newlyweds will 'kiss' (or so they say).

[blueamy66]

152. They're gonna kiss? In front of people?

Haven't they been living together for months? I'm sure they have kissed many times before...amongst other things...

[Tx4obama]

45. The pastor should have had his hair and beard trimmed. n/t

[pnwmom]

51. I'm just guessing he's an Archbishop. Anybody know?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

54. He's the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The bishop of the Church of England, symbolic head of the Anglican communion.

[Tx4obama]

60. Yep. Archbishop Rowan Williams n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

67. Williams is a bit of a lefty.

He's been criticized be some church people for opposing the teaching of creationism in schools, and for his antiwar writings.

[calimary]

52. He had a hell of a set of eyebrows on him, too.

I'm loving this!

Very nice all around. Very tasteful, elegant, classy.

[Hepburn]

155. Add eyebrows to that...

...OMG...you could have French braided those suckers! :wow:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

49. Did you see that hat? The one that looks like a squid?

It was worth getting up early just to see the weird hats.

And somebody should have straightened Kate's brother's tie before he got up to speak. He looks like he just rolled out of bed.

[Raine]

68. Fergie's daughter's hat is really strange this pinkish

scuptured sort of bow thing that sticks up straight from her forehead. :wow:

[sabrina 1]

161. Fergie wasn't invited, they never invite her to family affairs.

She's the black sheep of the family. I wonder how her girls feel about her always being uninvited?

Here's the hat. It looks like a weapon. Those girls always wear stranger hats.



Fergie's daughters!

[66 dmhlt]

72. Most of the hats look like some bird swallowed a serving platter

[pnwmom]

124. Those women obviously have a sense of fun. n/t

[Control-Z]

56. I love the sound of the children

in the choir.

[Raine]

75. They're ADORABLE! nt

[calimary]

81. Me too!

Such high clear clean notes. Like angels!

Oooh, here they come, out from the back room. The parents-in-law.

[calimary]

91. Okay! They're out! Confetti cannons! Crowds, loud bells, the works!

LOTS of noise!. There's the carriage!

Crowds are loving it!

So fun!

Piers Morgan notes that Kate didn't get her groom's name wrong, the way the groom's mother did.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

58. Oh, gag. Music by John Rutter, the Thomas Kinkade of choral music.

I don't know why this guy's stuff is so popular. It's treacle.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

169. Very strange music. Lots of dissonance.

Suspended cbords, ninths etc.

[OneGrassRoot]

61. Wow, who is speaking now? I love him....good quotables in there. n/t

[OneGrassRoot]

66. Bishop of London. I really enjoyed his speech. :) n/t

[xchrom]

73. jerusalem!!!

:applause:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

74. I love that hymn.

I'm sitting here in my bathrobe, singing along.

[xchrom]

76. me too -- i'm in my jammies.

and now it's the national anthem.

everything is just perfect!

[madmax]

77. This wedding seems smaller, more intimate than Diana's

less bridesmaids and bridal party is small. Maybe it's the 'austerity' thing. Am I wrong?

I love it.

One question: Who pays for this 30 Million dollar wedding the family or England?

[pnwmom]

79. It's smaller than Diana's, but can you imagine

the planning that went into this thing? What a job that must have been.

[Tx4obama]

80. I think I heard the Queen was paying, but I could be wrong. n/t

[Raine]

83. The church is smaller, I think there are about a thousand less guests.

It seems like I heard that the Queen paid for a large part of the wedding probably not the security though.

[madmax]

99. Isn't it the same chruch?

The Abbey?

[Raine]

116. No, Charles and Diana were married at St. Pauls. Diana's funeral

was at the Abbey.

[madmax]

123. Oh, thank you Raine nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

118. Charles and Diana were married in St. Paul's Cathedral

which is much larger.

[dipsydoodle]

92. Its a private wedding - not a State occasion.

Charles and Diana's wedding was a State occasion.

It's a family affair. :)

[madmax]

102. I very much approve, if the Queen cares about my opinion.

:silly: It's Royal and yet intimate. If you can call this intimate. Well by big time weddings such as the Clinton's, and the Monarchs of Monaco etc. This is very very classy and Royal without being pretentious to the nth degree.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

82. Prince Charles looks old.

He's a month older than me. *sigh* I remember watching his and Diana's wedding in 1981; got up early to watch it before running off to take the bar exam. How crazy was that?

[Raine]

89. Yeah, it's abit depressing especially when

you can remember all the excitment about his wedding and then the way it turned out. Now Charles just seems old and it's like his time has passed.

[madmax]

98. Hope he just gets by passed and Prince William becomes

King. I think Charles was and is a Grade A Cad! Not like him one bit even before we knew he was humping Camilla the night before his wedding and the rest of the sordid mess he made.

[Tx4obama]

84. Some funny tweets from Twitter below

From @OTOOLEFAN

This Royal Wedding is really screwing up my Morning Joe rage. Stop singing! 3 minutes ago via TweetDeck

This Royal Wedding needs an Elton John song. 6 minutes ago via TweetDeck

Look at all the people outside! If that crowd was any bigger, I'd think it was Wisconsin! #RoyalWedding 8 minutes ago via TweetDeck

I keep waiting for Trump to burst through the doors of the Abbey, questioning Kate's credentials. #royalwedding

===========

And on a serious note ....

From @BreakingNews

Police have made at least 18 arrests so far along the Royal Wedding route, including assault - Sky News http://bit.ly/jsl6ZM

[underpants]

86. too funny

[underpants]

85. .... ..... MAWWIGE!!!

http://youtu.be/Sbqv3MwwVd8

[underpants]

87. There are TREES in the frickin church!

[Raine]

93. Kate wanted a green wedding the trees are going to be planted

in other places later.

[dipsydoodle]

94. They were put there to soften it

and give it a medieval feel for the day. I think they look cool.

[Tx4obama]

88. Seems strange that William is wearing white gloves and Kate is not. n/t

[jbnow]

103. Does look funny but it is just part of his uniform, not a fashion statement nt

[XemaSab]

90. I can't get over that she's (inshallah) going to be queen someday

Love or hate the monarchy, this is history being made in the way that few weddings are.

[blogslut]

95. This photo broke me up

[calimary]

104. Pretty handsome, those two. It's over - carriages on to the Palace. Her life will never be the same.

I'm gonna try to stay up for The Kiss, but in case I don't - it's been FANTASTIC partying with you guys! I think we all needed this. It just made everyone feel happy about something. Awfully nice, for a change!

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

[Raine]

140. Yes it really has been fun watching and posting

I really needed this, it lifted my spirits! :hi:

[eShirl]

107. one looks like their father's father, the other like their mother's brother

there's one bullet the younger one dodged

[blogslut]

109. I think William is handsome

A lovely, open face and kind eyes.

[WinkyDink]

170. Harry looks most like Diana's SISTER:

[dipsydoodle]

100. I'm UK and the BBC News site is overloaded

:-(

Are you all watching on TV or online ?

[Tx4obama]

105. Live stream link below

http://www.justin.tv/live_news#/w/1129227568/37

[dipsydoodle]

115. I couldn't be bothered to go downstairs and watch tv

Thanks for the link. I went in just in time to see them in the pony and trap at Buckingham Palace.

btw - what appears to be the front of the Palace is actually the back.

[calimary]

111. CNN for me.

Kate's tiara was once worn by the late Queen Mum. As my husband said - "so she wore the 'King's Speech' tiara!"

NICE tiara! And her earrings were a wedding gift from her parents. Getting raves for her style - understandably. VERY tasteful. Like it. Like her. She didn't embarrass anybody today. Will she revitalize The Monarchy? Who knows? But one thing's certain: a star is born!

[CherokeeDem]

117. Thank Goodness for BBC America...

The coverage has been wonderful...couldn't abide US TV...too chatty...

[sabrina 1]

162. I agree, I watched on BBC America also, very low key

commentary, they didn't distract from what was going on. I also had it livestreamed from the Utube Royal Channel which had no commentary at all, just like being there.

[Keith Bee]

113. Unrec

:puke: on pampered "royalty." A $100 million pricetag in a country that's slashing services to its people.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

114. Party pooper.

[dipsydoodle]

119. The State isn't paying - its a private wedding.

Get a life.

[Keith Bee]

129. You're watching two strangers' wedding and telling ME to get a life???

:rofl:

[pnwmom]

135. What are you doing? n/t

[dipsydoodle]

138. I'm not actually watching it

other than odd glimpses when I switch between looking at Parlour guitars on ebay , surfing DU and a CNN link - BBC's site is overloaded.

Given that I'm both english and in the UK they are less of strangers to me.

[joshcryer]

141. In the same way a Koch wedding isn't "paid for by the state."

Like the Koch's, the Royals have kickbacks from the state that without them they wouldn't be where they are.

[pnwmom]

120. Go right ahead. Doesn't matter a bit. n/t

[Tx4obama]

121. Well now aren't you the party pooper!!! n/t

[calimary]

122. Killjoy.

[Stella_Artois]

125. Down with everything you don't agree with !

Tool.

[Keith Bee]

133. That's the American Way, baby!

Or haven't you been paying attention to our military imperialoism?

[Raine]

137. Self-delete ... not worth the bother. nt

[Tx4obama]

126. Okay everyone, before you go to bed REC this thread :) n/t

[pnwmom]

130. Done!

[dipsydoodle]

132. I keep forgetting

you're not on British Summer Time like us.

:hi:

[dipsydoodle]

127. wtf has Beckham's old woman got on her head ?

:shrug:

[pnwmom]

131. Old woman? What century did you come from?

I haven't heard that term since the 70's.

:hi:

[dipsydoodle]

136. That's cos

you may not be English whilst I am. :)

:hi:

[Tx4obama]

139. Funny hat photos on the link below

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x985369

[Raine]

143. THANKS for that link, some of those I just had to see again

and some I had missed!

[Tx4obama]

145. I betcha before the day is over there will be a link somewhere with ALL the hats on it. n/t

[dipsydoodle]

146. There was a blue one in Westminster Abbey

which looked like a rhino horn. Not sure what what holding it in place unless it had been nail gunned on :rofl:

[madmax]

147. lol I want to see that one!! nt

[dipsydoodle]

186. Was posted today

Cthulhu hat a bold choice for royal wedding :
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x992277

:rofl:

[pnwmom]

154. More Treacy (designer) hats.

[blogslut]

148. I can't believe I'm such a sap

I'm giggling and crying.

Please, nobody tell. THEY KISSED! Bawww! Clap! Clap! Clap!

[Skidmore]

149. Tina Brown just can't be anything approaching gracious.

She keeps taking catty pot shots at the Middleton family, implying that they were ambitiously pushing their daughter to get where she is today.

[pnwmom]

153. What a snot. I thought Mrs. Middleton looked almost as wonderful

as her daughter.

[ScreamingMeemie]

156. I was sick of her last week when she said, while talking about a possible

wedding dress choice, "Well she's going to want to cover THOSE arms." She's a bad word that we can't say here.

[pnwmom]

163. What an evil thing to say! ! n/t

[blogslut]

150. sigh

[sfpcjock]

174. Nice tiara..

yes?

[sfpcjock]

176. I might pay $6 for a beer to see this...

if the health care was included. Thanks for posting :)

[Tx4obama]

181. Thanks for posting the photos! n/t

[blogslut]

151. oops - double post

[bikebloke]

158. Kate's going to be shocked tonight.

When she discovers that he's losing his hair.

[pnwmom]

159. Yay for balding men everywhere! n/t

[bikebloke]

165. He was wearing a Fabio wig all these years.

:P

[WinkyDink]

171. "Now who's being naive, Kate?"

Godfather I.

[jumptheshadow]

160. I was in the lounge and missed this thread?

I will just have to relive the festivities by reading here.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

166. Cute, they just left the palace with William driving in a " just married" decorated convertible.

They went to Clarence House. The crowd roared.

[WinkyDink]

172. WHERE??? I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS. BBC-A IS REPEATING THE EVENT. CNN WAS IN FL.

I AM EXTREMELY UPSET.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

177. MSNBC showed it live. The View showed a clip of it. Link

After all the pomp and ceremony, it was refreshing. :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FlcykoxxZE

[WinkyDink]

180. Thank you, but nothing will assuage my level of upset at missing this.
