Who said weighty katy? Frankly the talking heads on cable are cattier than usual today. ABC seems more subtle.

[NautiNurse]

It’s Waity Katy—for the 8 long years she waited for today. Still, that was very tacky to say today.

[ELS]

The flower girls are adorable!

[maggief]

Pippa is stunning! Lovely shot with the bridesmaids.

[MayflowerMadam]

Kate’s sister’s dress is amazing!

[hoagy62]

My word...Kate looks AWESOME!!

[Lazamataz]

OMG - they had to say she used to be called her *weighty Katie*

They be hatey.

[StarFan]

Can’t see a tiara yet.

[mware]

Those little ones steal the show every time.

[onyx]

I am so excited!!

First glimpse of the beautiful bride!

Tears! OUR Princess Diana would be so proud and happy.

Heck, *she’s watching* !!!

You betcha, she’s “with” her Willima today.

[maggief]

I’m trying to figure out the tiara, too.

???

[penelopesire]

Awe....she looks beautiful. Can’t wait to see the dress.

[StarFan]

Thanks. Thought they said 83.

[onyx]

Jeaulous jerks.

[paulycy]

She's sure got the last laugh now.

[NautiNurse]

Saw a glimpse of the tiara, but not enough to know if it is one of the royal collection.

[stylecouncilor]

[pbear8]

She may not wear a tiara until she is legally married as she has no title. She will likely exit the Abbey with one on.

[nutmeg]

Good morning everyone! This will probably be one of my earliest posts, LOL. (Actually I've been up since about 4:40am ET)

Everyone looks wonderful... I'm surprised at the relative informality of everything so far, ie the way Princes William and Harry casually walked down the aisle of the Abbey.

[mware]

Biggest shock so far.Shep Smith saying they are calmer then he was on his wedding day.

Shep is married????? Who knew???
