Are you watching the royal wedding?

Nope, but the wife is constantly telling me to “come & see Kate’s dress.” I’d shout at her to be quiet only, I don’t want a black eye!

I have one Facebook vote for Princess Beatrice’s who-from-whoville-like concoction. There’s another that looks “like a blue rhino horn with a flower pinned on it. eeeww”

Yes! shes looks amazing!

Nope, what royal wedding?? :-/ I’m full of cold (Man Flu) & still in bed…....

Prince William and Kate Middleton. Or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as they’ll be called for a while. Until the Queen either croaks or lets Prince Charles step up when they then take the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales.

No

Soooo beautiful. I love the green maples contrasted with the Gothic architecture and red carpet. I wanna go to a royal wedding just so that I can wear a hat like this and look fashionable, instead of ridiculous like I would here in America. And I think it’s really saying something about how boring liturgy is to many when even Will and Kate looked bored at certain points.

@MyNewtBoobs You want to wear a giant blue vagina on your forehead?

@chocolatechip She looks amazing.

Crap this is one long ceremony. They’ve been legally married for 30 minutes already, and it’ll be another hour before The Kiss. That’s a long time to wait to kiss your new hubby. My aunt’s wedding ceremony was 7 minutes long.

Lovely dress and her brother James is a hottie! :D He read the passage from Romans quite well, didn’t he?

Now to go walk the dog.

Actually yes! That is a lot of people! The Valet parking is raking it in!

I’d hate getting married with millions of people watching. It all seems so forced.
Other than that, the dress is gorgeous.

Yes I am. The princess is real hot. Are any one of you Brits actually there?

@MyNewtBoobs She still looks ridiculous. Here’s a pic of Beatrice’s get-up. She really might be the oddest looking thing to come out of the royal family in the past century or so.

They need to do The Kiss already! (:

for real they are taking too long

They have to do all the other official things, like take pictures.

Here’s a pic of the Cartier Halo Tiara that Kate wore… I think.

Yeah I watched for a bit, just to be a critic and point out some flaws and faux pas. Now I’m waiting for the kiss.;D

Hmmm… Maybe not the same tiara.

Maybe they are purposely delaying cus they think we are too nosey….and who could blame them…..havent you ever seen two people kiss before? Have you ever been kissed before…come on!!!

No. I have the weather channel on while I am getting the little one ready for school. Oops, they just talked about the wedding for 20 seconds. Does that count? :P

@Eggie No, they are not. This is just the way it works. Its the way it works for all royal weddings.

Why do people keep saying that they are proud of Kate or that her parents should be proud? Because she married a prince? Please. Why can’t they just say that they are happy for the new couple?

Here we go!

They’re proud of Kate for how well she presents herself and how well she holds up under stress and the job that she has been doing and will probably continue to do with dealing with the public and stresses of royal life.

8:25 EST. There coming out on the balcony now….getting ready for the kiss. Awwwwe!

@klutzaroo Thank-you. That makes much better sense.

Just a peck….....I thought it would have been more spectacular

Not to mention how well she copes with the paparazzi.

@Eggie me too!

Yes, she’s been brilliant about it.

Yes. And, she looked lovely. :)

No.

Watching now on DVR. Here is the petty fashion and superficial assessment so far from me: Katherine’s brother during his speech had his tie crooked. Kate lost a lot of weight, maybe too much. Also did she have her teeth capped? Her lips seem to be not fitting her mouth well. I hate when people do that. Maybe it is the weight loss that makes it seem that way. She is beautiful though.

@klutzaroo @chocolatechip See, this is why I want to go to a royal wedding – you get made fun of for hats in the States, but in Britain they aren’t viewed the same way.

@Pied_Pfeffer It’s because most of us would be in the nuthouse with that much attention languished upon us, that public of a life. There are 12k journalists covering the Royal Wedding. For comparison, there are about 500 Western journalists in Africa at any given time.

@MyNewtBoobs The hat Bea stole from Whoville is probably seen the same way everywhere.

@klutzaroo You know, we have no real holidays in America for just dressing crazy – Halloween you dress in a costume, but it’s supposed to be something. It’s nice to be able to just have fun and go crazy once in a while. And fashion, like humor, is really, really, really subjective. Sorry, but it’d be nice to be able to dress up as a Seuss character just for the hell of it.

I LOVE that Kate didn’t include “obey” in her vows. I actually quite like her, she seems like she’s got her shit together and is my kind of feminist (and the fashion sense doesn’t hurt.)

@MyNewtBoobs I’m pretty sure Diana left off obey as well.

@JLeslie She did.

@JLeslie But I wasn’t around for Diana, so it’s all new to me (and I’ve been to a couple weddings where the women didn’t leave off ‘obey’, so I thought maybe it was making a comeback.)

I don’t think I have ever been to a wedding that had obey in it. The closest I have ever come to that was a girlfriend of mine had to have a quicky wedding, and a relative of her fiance officiated. She had specifically said she wants obey omitted and the pastor (or whatever he is called) agreed. Up there in front of all of us witnesses he said, “repeat after me. I, Jane Doe, promise to love honor and be submissive to…” I kid you not. What a total fuckhead. She was pissed.

@MyNewtBoobs These weddings you have been to with obey, they were recent? Are they Evangelical Christians or something?

@JLeslie Wow, that’s… Dude, of all the times that joke isn’t funny (and it isn’t funny in the first place), when you’re presiding over their wedding vows, it is at the least funny it will ever be. I probably would have retaliated by adding “and to never speak to your bellend of a relative again” at the end.
Mmm, past 5 years? One was born-again, but the other one, not so much.

@MyNewtBoobs All of us out there in the audience sitting near me looked at each other like, huh?! The grooms family is born again Baptist something or other. They just think they know best I guess. My girlfriend is Catholic. His family has always looked down on her, so to speak, for being a Catholic. Since it was a quicky wedding and he was not Catholic, I guess it would have been difficult to do the wedding in the Catholic church. For several years I know she missed having not been married in the Catholic church, not sure how she feels about it now. Both of her children were raised Catholic.

@JLeslie What a way to welcome someone to the family.

I was at a wedding just 2 weeks ago where “obey” was a part of the vows. Most of them I’ve been to recently (including the one I’m going to later today which I’m pretty sure will also) have had it in there. Then again, I live in Georgia. There are, however, plenty of weddings all over that have “obey” in them.

And then again, it will NOT put in an appearance at my wedding. If the officiant includes it, I will exclude it when I repeat. My fiance agrees. Not that he has a choice. ;)

@klutzaroo I think it is more about being A Christian, than being in the south, its just that the south is full of Christians, so it happens more down there. Bible belt would be more accurate than south, and of course there are towns all over the US that have a majority of Evangelical Christians in their population. I can’t imagine any one of my close friends even having to consider leaving obey out, because it would never be in in the first place I think? Or, maybe I am completely clueless. Which is definitely possible.

I had no idea what my wedding vows would be, I never discussed it with my rabbi. I probably should have, but it never occurred to me. I missed the rehearsal because I was sick. I had only been to 4 wedding before my own, and could barely remember what was said, except for that one wedding which I mention above with the submissive incident.
