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?

I loved the dress so, so, so much. I agree about Diana looking like the dress was swallowing her. My brother said he didn't like it because it was too old-fashioned, but I think that it's old-fashioned but not outdated. It's classic and beautiful and looked gorgeous on her, and really, she's not going to wear a strapless dress and have people going "omg what is she wearing how inappropriate for a royal wedding".
