I'm too excited, I really am. I expect to spend tomorrow morning in tears - of joy, obviously.
Can you imagine how her father will feel as he walks her down the aisle? What a wonderful memory.
ST, you'll be watching it with us?
Would you like to be one of those people camped outside Westminster?
Wouldn't surprise me if her hair is down with flowers threaded into it. If she has a train then it will be short.
The dress simple style but with decoration.
Queen in pale mauve. Camilla in pink...
I will be watching. (I was in Stratford Upon Avon when Charles and Diana married. At an antenatal appointment when Andrew and Sarah Ferguson got married.)
BB, I saw a thing the other day where a cook was saying after Ds and Cs wedding, the Queen and two others, can't recall who, lined up on a sofa and watched a tape of it all, eating a fry-up. Really true.
My best friend actually did that in 2001. It was a hoot. They got married in - oh gosh - posh Council Offices in East London somewhere: beautiful building it was. She was wearing pink tulle - I mean, frothily wonderful it was! After the vows - and still standing before the registrar, she pressed a button and lit up like a Christmas tree, dress, veil, in all different colours. It was such a surprise. Even hubby was taken aback. It was a scream and it looked wonderful.
I think it is very loyal of Wills to commemorate the royal family's nazi sympathies by getting married on the same day as Adolf and Eva.
Only I am driving out into the countryside tomorrow and would appreciate knowing when the roads are likely to be clear.
:)
Poor chap - he probably hadn't even thought of that.
And it was just the bank holiday tomorrow.
Exits stage left ..
I honestly didn't know that.

Don't think anybody has to be fair. The thread is being treated in the manner in which it was intended. On a technical point the thread is actually asking for people to talk about it, it doesn't give any restrictions on what that talk may be, then it's asking for people who want to celebrate it after that.
Thanks Carol.
I feel sorry for them in a lot of ways. Yes they may love each other now, or have a form of love, but is that enough? Not only is this a high pressure and high profile marriage it is also the marriage that HAS to survive. Now if either of them wants out do they make a deal where they can see their new partner while maintaining a facade of togetherness for the sake of the monarchy like Charlie Boy did, or do they bail?
Because if this one ends in divorce it won't just be the end of a marriage, it'll be the end of the monarchy in this country. That is too much pressure for one couple to take for a lifetime. The kind of pressure that may even create cracks in the marriage they need to keep cemented. I hope they remember they are just one cat and one chick who dug each other to hitch up because to be apart made them get the blues.
Can't wait to see the dress.
None of us can see the future and what may happen but that applies to all marriages not just this one. Whatever will be will be.
And for those of you who have the day off and aren't bothered about it well go and do some gardening or something and don't rain on their parade!
William and Kate have known each other for eight years and it feels so right that they have taken the time to form a solid relationship and are marrying each other for love. They have probably thought through this relationship, marriage and their future more than most other couples on the planet ever have. I wish them all the best and feel confident in their ability to survive the pressures of royal life. They've already had cracks in their relationship, faced them and come out stronger for it.
Let's raise a glass for the soon-to-be happy couple - a champagne breakfast!

To William and Catherine (the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge).
The Queen looked very happy now for that kiss!
Showing the world what we can do is about invention, industry, entrepreneurial skills and great thinking. It is not about some inbred nobodies having a massive day out paid for by the public.

I agree with that maxim on a personal level. But this is an institution so we actually have the right and some, including me would say a duty to say what we feel as a counter argument. If we held that thought then we would be living in a totalitarian state right now. The point of democracy is to say what you think and feel about institutions and people in power especially if you don't agree with them.
i couldn't live my life in the public eye like they have to, but thats there choice and i hope it works out for them :)
If you're going to start on about rights of free speech again then I can't disagree, but please start your own thread and stop being a party pooper on this one.
Me, i'm having a lovely day.
What did Beatrice have on her head though? No wonder she needed to lean so far forward in the car!
The carriage procession also was amazing. I'm glad the weather stayed good. It was a beautiful wedding and judging by the hoards of crowds in London, it's been a very popular and profitable event.
