Thanks again, Star. There are some great pictures on that People link of the guests and their ensembles. Most we are not allowed to repost.

Looks at that grin on Harry's face/

Do you remember years ago when they boys were still small Harry asked his mother for a sister? Now he has one. Is there any truth that he will be living with them?

Well said, however, what choice did we have but to tune in and listen to trashy libs today? Even FNC fed us Shep. Thought best to listen to a Brit and get caught up in his pride. Interesting fraudian slip on my part as I always thought his name was Pierce...he does strike me as piercingly cold and heartless.

I agree with you, Miss Didi. Hopefully, wedding gown designers will stop being so LAZY now, and make dresses with sleeves again.

To me, not only are strapless gowns unsuitable for church ceremonies, but they all look exactly the same, with no personality. (And don’t get me going on that “mermaid style” thing...most people look like overstuffed sausages in them.)

I don’t even mind if the designers make SOME strapless gowns, unflattering as I believe them to be. What irritates me is that they make NO gowns with sleeves anymore. I wish I had a nickel for every bride I knew who wanted sleeves and couldn’t find a single one.

Kate’s dress was a stunner. Elegant, regal, modest without a trace of frumpiness...just beautiful.

Regards,

Thanks, naturalman.

I’m curious: how strict was security? Did everyone attending the wedding get screened?

For me it’s just natural to be humble, and trust people.

Besides I belong to a particular sect who stops reading the bible after the gospels. Though, I loved the Romans verse read today in the church. It was very “gospel” :)

Who knows what wisdom William got after praying to God. Would it have been better if him and Kate rushed into marriage as teenagers at uni? I am not sure.

Let God judge them, as only he knows their souls.

I would further argue that the example both Kate and William have provided would be a good one for 99 or so percent of other youths on the planet.

Our problem on the planet is not that people are too much like this young couple. Quite the opposite...

Cheers.

It was reported earlier that they all live in Clarence House—Wills, Harry, Charles & Camilla and will continue to do so. It’s large enough for privacy. ;)

Dontcha just ADORE HARRY ? OMG .. he’s ever going to
be so precocious and full of it.

He’s definitely got his sis now.

Who knows .. heard they might all be at Clarence House
in their own apts, and then heard Will and Kate might
go back to Diana’s old digs at Kensingon Palace for a time.

He’s got military duty for another few years .. so,
hopefully they’ll be able to be together for that and
she won’t be enslaved with royal duties away from him.
That would not make her or anyone thrilled. Hopefully
she’ll stick to her guns about being together in Wales.

The worse part is when the gals fall out of them while dancing...or they are constantly tugging at their dresses.

Can't discuss security in too much detail, but, yes, we did have to pass through detectors. They were pretty obvious, so I can't see any harm in mentioning them.

I have a permit to carry a handgun for personal protection in the UK (which is very rare) and I received a visit from a police officer yesterday making sure I wasn't planning on taking one with me.

Yes...I don’t have anything to fall out but I’m sure looking for something to cover me up LOL!

Sleeves and lace are back in style...which is good news for the single gals. ;)

BTW.

I always love your posts.

Always quality and heart.

I am Queensland educated, and love your country. Even me being Norwegian I had quite a few arguments with Australian republicans. Support the crown :)

Though, imho, Charles is not acting properly by getting involved in partisan politics.

The young crown prince of Norway is doing the same thing.

The more they do it, the weaker the monarchies will be.

Shared tradition, guardians of the nation..... Not partisan politics.

If they keep it up even I will become a republican.

Ordinarily I would agree...but this IS a Royal Wedding .... Kate played it too low key.
