OK! They’re comin’ back! This should be awesome!!!!!!
BBC only mentioned that they were going to sign the register. They have been utterly silent except for that!!!
NBC was silent during the whole ceremony. They’ve been very respectful.
Looks like the hem of Chelsy’s skirt is unraveling. What a mess she is.
Wish they would hurry up - I have to go to work! : (
Thanks for sharing that...funny Wills.
Fox hasn't uttered a word, either.
‘fraid so.
(snicker)
I’ve been weepy all morning! Diana is there with her sons. I am certain. [I think horseface also knows she’s there and Charles, too].
Great Britian has their future King and new Beautiful Queen!
They’re going to appear on the Balcony soon for their first kiss!
I hope they have a little girl after they have sons and that they name her Diana. Yes, I am rushing things...lol.
God bless them and God bless Prince Harry, too!!!
Long live Her Majesty!
I know! I'm a half hour late leaving for the Cape...
You sound remarkably like Joy Behar.
Gotta say, I never was a fan of royalty, but at least these two strike me as two genuinely good people. This first time I have thought that in well, forever.
They give one a good feeling about the future.
Harry looks good with Pippa! :)
William is trying not to step on her dress. LOL
Can’t agree with you more!
Looks like Chelsy slept in it.
LOLOLOLOL.
Thank you!!!!
