The bagpipers are warming up! Squee! People are waving flags! Hurrah! Screw it; I’m not going to bed! (I’m in L.A.; it’s just past midnight for me.) They’re watching this on the ISS!
If you hadn’t started it, I was about to!
I am switching between CBC, BBC World News and now CTV.
The shots of London make me long to be there!
Mr. Rilch says it’s almost like watching Doctor Who! Speaking of which, I’m sticking to BBC America.
Guests are arriving! We have Hats–both fancy women’s hats and top hats. (Is that “morning dress”?)
One old fellow needs to comb his hair, however.
I better hurry up and put my tiara on. (I was given a tiara at work today in honour of the day.)
Oooh… the trees in the Abbey are beautiful. I love, love, love those “fascinator” hats…
I took a nice long nap after work in preparation for this. I’m hoping that lots of tea will carry me through.
It’s a little strange to be watching this as a grown woman, with a husband of my own, instead of the very romantic girl I was in 1981. I was about as romantic and naive as poor Diana was on that day.
I have high hopes for this marriage.
I forgot to get bunting! What was I thinking?
Grr… all my networks are on commercial or looking at street parties and viewing parties. I want more shots of guests, and the HATS, darn it.
I’m watching my local PBS station right now; I assume they’re airing the BBC feed. Anyone else think “Duke of Cambridge” is a bit of an odd choice? :dubious: I know it’s a traditional title for minor royals, but neither William or Kate has any connection with the city or university.
They also got “Baron and Lady Craigfergus”.
Ooh… good-looking men in uniforms. And one in a kilt.
Okay, on BBCAmerica, there’s a woman with a blonde beehive and a pink skirt interviewing people. Is she anyone? She reminds me of that other character Jane Horrocks played on later seasons of AbFab; not Bubble but the “Carpet! Madness!” chick.
ETA: Craigfergus? Really?
I can’t imagine Kate’s nerves right now.
Yeah, I imagine in later years she’ll simply have no memory of the hours between waking up and arriving at Westminster.
Kate just got Countess of Strathearn, as well.
I only remember bits and pieces of my wedding day, and it was a Very Small Affair. Hey, if I couldn’t get married like Diana, then I wasn’t even going to try! It’s funny how these things influence us (well, me).
Anyone wanna speculate on how she’ll screw up Prince William’s name (William Arthur Philip Louis) during the vows? Diana and Fergie did. I’ll wager she get’s the order right, but pronounces the last on as Louise.
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if there was a stumble over the names.
Ooh! Beefeaters!
One guest has a dreadful hat–it looks like a floppy straw sun hat, exactly like I wear to garden in or while reading in the sun.
David Beckham looks gorgeous. My lord.
I think I just spotted that British socialite Tara something or other Jones or something, whose nose caved in from her cocaine habit. It’s a rather distinctive nose now.
Man, that’s a Brazil hat. (Deep blue, matching suit, blonde celeb whose name I didn’t catch.)
