Anyone Interested In Watching The Royal Wedding This Saturday?

I'm glad that nobody did anything goofy - like throwing something at the carriage, etc. Of course, they would have been jumped by security.
 

I felt sad when I saw Doria Ragland sitting by herself in such strange surroundings on such a special day.

I can't think of a way to change it but it made me sad just the same.

I didn't watch it. I couldn't get up that early as I went to sleep at 1 am. Maybe I'll catch a rerun. I did see a few scenes from the wedding.

I did notice, at the end, Prince Charles left Camilla and walked over to Doria (Meghan's mother for those who missed it), gave her his arm, and escorted her out of the Chapel.
 
I saw most of it and enjoyed it very much. It was interesting to see the guests arrive in all their finery.
I was impressed with the little children, they did their part without a hitch.

So nice that Prince Phillip was well enough to be there and the Queen looked lovely.
A happy day for all.
 
I turned on the TV this morning, which happened to be tuned to HBO. There was this gushy couple narrating the goings-on, completely over the top, spouting one inane statement after another. He had a Harry-type beard, and she had the fully British wedding guest outfit, plus a big, toothy grin. My first reaction was, "What?!" but after a minute or two, I realized that instead of real coverage, HBO was presenting a brilliant satire of the royal event (in real time!) The two "commentators" were Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon, of Funny or Die, using assumed names for the occasion. I was rolling on the floor, eventually turned on PBS to get some real coverage, but kept switching back to Will and Molly, as they were much more interesting. Brilliant improv humor; if you get HBO and missed this, try to catch one of the reruns.

I love the lime green one. It’s gorgeous.
Speaking of lime green, the queen looked quite stylish in her colourful outfit.

When Meghan walked up to Harry in the church, did anyone read his lips? I did, he said, "You look amazing," and she did too.

I think I'd look daft in them 'ats Lara.......ha ha ha

Yes it was meanderer. The Royal family has fully embraced Meghan and her mother into the royal family despite the rule of no color in the royal lineage.

In fact, when Harry and Meghan first went to the Queen to ask her permission to marry, the Queen walked them over to a large oil painting on the wall and said that it was Queen Charlotte, the first black Queen of England (born in 1777). She said the painter had a difficult time hiding it. The Queen said to Harry, "so we both have some in our blood too".

Well, that was a lot of fun! Who doesn't enjoy a well-done wedding? Wonderful music and the wedding couple were adorable. I liked the American bishop's sermon, but he could have cut it down by half and still got his point across. LOVED the gospel choir.

I loved seeing all the hats and the outfits on the guests. There were some simply stunning outfits, but I do have to say that having a lot of money doesn't always seem to mean you have a lot of fashion sense, though. What was with the hat that had what looked like a large white palmetto frond sticking straight up from it? The royal family was, as usual, the epitome of classy good taste. Even Beatrice and Eugenie played it down. Some of the hats looked more Kentucky Derby than Royal Wedding.

I agree that there were many Kentucky Derby looking hats
