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?

They mentioned something about them all changing into less Westminster-Abbey-appropriate clothes for the second, private wedding ceremony this evening (where they get to have a best man speech and first dance and all the more normal, less SRS BZNS things.)

That's definitely how I did it. I wasn't really aware that it was customary for them to go first anywhere else.
