The bride looked beautiful. My daughter and I had the same comment when we watched “America compared to this looks low”. And it's true because of what represents us in our White House. I'm glad the two ghetto folks were not invited and no one represented us. What sad day for America.

I must say that I really have not paid much attention to this whole thing, and I have gotten so sick of the media saturation.

That said, when I turned on the TV around 8A EST and saw the crowds turned out with their British flags, I became very interested because I realized that this could be a turning point for Great Britain. Perhaps there will now be awakening of British nationalism and they will stop being pushed around by the mohammedans and others determined to destroy Western civilization.

To bad William didn’t get married a few years ago when we had class in the WH.

I loved the very deeply Christian message on traditional marriage and it’s definition. My first thought was the left and Muslems will not be pleased.

It also should be remembered that people often bow to the traditions and wishes of their elders in these affairs. That being said, I never presume to know someone elses’ heart.

It is truly a beautiful gown. And it is demure. I have not seen demure in a wedding gown in many years.

I have not been impressed with the story of this couple with their shacking up, but I hope today marks the beginning a rebirth of dignity among the royals.

I just got done complaining to FOX about including that crass rude clod Shep Smith in this coverage.

He acts and looks rude and mocking.

What an embarrassment. He only fits in at a ridiculous Obozo event.

Also I sense the message is that there is HOPE that the Christian faith in the west is begining to resurge once again. Love the message also.

Uhm, that the whole Christian religious thing in England is fake...that a couple can shack up for 8 years ..and then go through the whole charade with a white dress and “religious” wedding as if it were real? Uh, great message to the world...really promotes Christianity’s view of the sanctity of marriage.

I agree with you. In the eyes of God, I would think this is a disgrace. Cohabitation: a royal mistake.

I am glad the “the won” and first wookie were told to stay away, so I can handle a small amount of Shep.

It was an awesome event and ceremony.

Ye Gods.

I couldn’t participate in the live thread as I was actually in the Abbey. I got to see virtually nothing (wrong side of the screen!) but I heard it all. Now I get to watch the recording and see what I missed.

Wow. Ivanna is still beautiful- and brilliant too, I’ve read. Wonder why Donald divorced her?
Too old for him?

I couldnot believe how obnoxious and boorish Mascara Boy Sheperd Smith was with his commentary of FOX. The final straw that made me change to HLN came when he observed, after the kiss on the balcony, that there was “no tongue”. Prior to that disgusting remark, he made several references to drinking even asking an expert on royalty about when the drinking would commence. He sounded like a 12-year-old. Just when I though I could not despise him more....

I have been trying to explain it rintense - how many of us Euro conservatives part ways with you Americans when it comes to the position of the monarchy.

For us they do symbolize and preserve the best bits of our tradition.

Besides it is totally democratic now. The moment the British people doesn’t want the monarchs anymore, they will be gone. But, the vast majority supports it. The peons (lower classes) more than most. I guess they are just as brainwashed as poor southerners voting republican...

When Norway was occupied by the nazi’s, it was King Haakon who was the major rallying point.

For King and country.

Though I do get worried when people like Charles get involved with his silly politics. The Royals should stay above it, except for focusing on the shared tradition. The Queen has done this exceptionally well. Pity about her son.

Though some has said William has made several messages today. Him wearing the Irish Guard Uniform in the wedding, honouring the regiment that just came back from Afghanistan. Requesting the battle of Britain fly over. etc.

The American head of state is incredibly divisive usually. Look at Obama, Clinton, Bush, Reagan....

It’s good to have a head of state raised above politics. imho - That can unite everyone.

And, you are right. The left in Europe hate the monarchies for just events such as today. Honouring Christ and our old traditions stands in the way of their socialist utopia.

Cheers to you :)
