Writer's Block: The Royal Wedding

I'd donate to one of their charities, as they requested.

I DVR'd the wedding, so I watched the wedding bit this morning when I woke up - I get up at 6:15 so I wasn't terribly far behind, and I skipped the singing bits, for the most part.

Love her dress. Deceptively simple and very elegant. I'd pegged her for 'trumpet' or 'mermaid' style, but I think in a place like the cathedral, one really needs to wear something big. When else will one get the chance after all?

I always thought that Diana looked swallowed up by her dress, but this time the bride wore the dress, not the other way around. Very Princess Grace like, I thought. I'm wondering if she has a 'reception' dress she can dance in.

Question for my British friends - I've noticed this in movies and television - and they did this today. Do your bridesmaids walk behind the bride coming down the aisle as a general rule? Cause here they go first. (I'm only asking because if I get married again ever, I want to do it the British way! Hee)

Who else watched it?

It's one of those giant Victorian anthems they usually save for coronations (though we tended to sing it during the last week of spring term to celebrate all the finalists and so forth). 'I Was Glad' by Charles Parry.
