Switched over to TLC and Clinton gushed over Pippa...and her figure. Her dress was stunning, too.
Hopefully they had a better kiss than that in private...
You have to ask pissant and laz.
They are the connoisseurs of high fashion :D
Personally I am a simple Lutheran, so I thought it was nice - though pastel would probably have worked as well :)

That was more like a peck you give your husband as he drops you off at work.
I love Wills and Harry...great pics, Star!
So I’m in agreement with Tim Gunn and Clinton... :-/ my wife is going to start wondering about me...
Anyone know who the little ones are?
Cool flyover with WWII planes
Couldn’t the muzzie have left of the head rag and robes just this once?
I have always loved flyovers..
The little ones are family members...one girl is Camilla’s granddaughter...another a daughter of Prince Edward—where is he today???
Oh yeah... that did it for me :)
Cloudy monitor alert ; )
I liked the white, actually.
Prince Edward and Sophia are there. The camera had a shot of them in the church.
Progressives don't like History as they didn't get to write it.
Except of course with: Lenin & Stalin in the USSR, Pol Pot & Cambodia, Mao & Red China, East Germany and its Stasi, etc, etc. And since those 'progressive experiments' didn't turn out too well they'd rather everyone forget those parts of history ;-)
Thanks. I wondered if Edward was there as well.
“It just overwhelmed her.”
...among other things.
