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?

Yes. They walk behind and keep an eye on the train from the dress. And when the bride gets to the front the chief bridesmaid (maid of honour) keeps hold of the bouquet so the bride can get on with the rings and holding the hymn book etc.
