Well that was a novel way to spend the morning. R and I had late breakfast in front of the tv and watched the wedding and had fun trying to recognise people. He's like the LAST person I thought would watch --- goes to show, never assume :|
It was shorter than I thought it'd be --- that's because it was a royal wedding, not a state occasion, I suppose. Kate's dress --- quite elegant and simple, good lace work, but really rather less than a princess dress. Suited her, but nothing out of the ordinary. William is starting to look rather like his grandfather, or is it just me? And that hair is going fast. Harry looked great ---- I've had a soft spot for Harry since Diana's funeral, when he held his father's hand while they followed her coffin. (He'd be a great catch.) Camilla always seems like she threw it all together on the day, LOL. I kinda like Camilla. There's no fuss, and for all the messiness, she and Charles are a genuine love story. The Queen wore yellow, I was convinced she'd wear blue. She's starting to look old - Prince Phillip on the other hand seems to have stopped time *g*.
And there were lots and lots of men in uniform on horseback ---- oh yes, I can always watch that!
It's lovely to have a share in someone else's magic for a few hours, makes the world a warmer, shinier place somehow. I might avoid the news tonight, keep the mood alive a while longer. Was a good morning.
ETA - have the radio on, someone just read out the menu for the reception. I could eat like that, ohhhh yes!
