Anyone for a Royal Wedding watchalong thread?

Did they ever say exactly which tiara she’s wearing?

I detect speech training. Really well done.

Nerves make your hands sweaty, it’s really common for the ring to be trouble!

I think it’s one of the Queen’s tiaras, or the Queen lent it to her. I think they said it was made in 1930-something.

Note also they do the vows first, not after the gospel. There’s still a bit to go …

Yes, I’m getting my ceremony’s worth, after all!

I’d give anything for the Archbishop to lisp like in Princess Bride. “Mawwage…”

Heh, I was just thinking that. Or like Rowan Atkinson: “The Holy Spigot”.

Ah here we go: “marriage doesn’t survive any more because we’ve turned from God”. What explains American divorce rates then, Archie-boy? Good stage for propagandizing…

They also said it was made by Cartier. :slight_smile:

Bored now.

The boys choir is adorable and angelic.

The little choirboys are so cute.

And I thought Catholic services were long…

Anybody know why William didn’t get a ring? Or did I miss that bit?

No ring for William; apparently that’s traditional. It was unusual when Andrew did a wedding ring.

How cool would it be to be sitting in front of Elton John and having him singing right behind you?

Gosh look at all the white people!

I am always amused that the Queen cannot sing the National Anthem.

OMG the Queen’s not singing the national anthem. Scandal!

I would:

“God save our gracious ME,
Long live our noble ME.”

Big moment for the guy on the kettle drums. (Relative of Harry Secombe?)
