yep, yep, they went for the fascinator over the biggie brim hat. although they weren’t as odd as the woman who had a blue canoe? banana? on her head nearly sliding onto her nose. ---

> [@rocking\_chair](#): > > …although they weren’t as odd as the woman who had a blue canoe? banana? on her head nearly sliding onto her nose. That one was pretty funny. A lot of them seem to be worn right on the top of the head, and sit sort of down over the forehead. ---

Had this already been posted? The Queen has given Prince William three titles on the occasion of his wedding: Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus: [William, Prince of Wales - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_William,_Duke_of_Cambridge) May God bless and keep the happy couple. ---

Last time there was a flypast over Buck House they went over my house about 30 minutes later. Fingers crossed. ---

According to a news article with information from a lipreader, Prince William said, “We were supposed to have a small family affair,” when Kate got to the altar. Nice that he had a sense of humor about it! ---

I missed almost the whole thing – I woke up and started scrambling to get ready for work, let the corgis out, started getting dressed, remembered and turned on the TV _just in time_ to see him put the ring on her finger. The timing was so uncanny I thought it must be an instant replay! But no, it was live! And then I went to brush my teeth. I listened for about 10 minutes and then I had to feed the dogs and rush out the door. Husband is on a business trip so I had to do everything! About all I got was a few glimpses of the Queen, that ridiculous antler hat, and heard Kate’s bro’s reading. I did see Harry’s quick grin at the “Amen” at the end of the pronouncement. ---

I woke up due to insomnia and remembered that there was something good on TV for a change! It was lovely. Those 2 girls: heavyset brunette in blue and a slimmer, overly made-up blonde with that stupid mauvey antler hat–THOSE are Beatrice and Eugenie? WHAT happened? They were such pretty little girls. :eek: And where was Andrew? Didn’t see him at all. Was Fergie even invited? Saw a glimpse of Anne (looking very sour, frankly) and Edward (looking bored), but no other family that I recognized. Was the Earl of Spencer there (he is Wills uncle afterall)? I want details, Brits! I loved, loved, loved the trees in Westminster. And the boys’ choirs–such amazing voices. The kiss was quite a letdown–too quick and too peckish for me. ---

Well. That was a lovely wedding. What I wouldn’t give for a peek into the Royal Wedding Brekkie now. I had to take out the garbage a few minutes ago–so mundane and prosaic and non-royal… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-for-a-royal-wedding-watchalong-thread/580134.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-for-a-royal-wedding-watchalong-thread/580134.md?page=11)
