That's cute. I'm guessing everyone has seen this. I saw it somewhere last week, but can't remember where, so I found it on YouTube...a parody of the Royal Wedding. It's hilarious.

Thanks TIS, actually this was way better than the actual wedding.

This is a massive event in the UK and im proud to be British today for this event,im going to be following this on the BBC..
Well said mate. I'm not the biggest fan of the royals to be honest but events like this are great stuff, all the pomp and paegentry? Great stuff.....and oh yes the bank holiday was nice as well
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!
I didn't watch the entire repeat, but I love the excitement of it. I can certainly understand Yogi and all our UK friends pride over a nice event like this. Having no Royalty here, it IS interesting.
On a side note (and shame I me if I should have knonw this), I notice a bit after the ceremony they played "God Save The Queen" (a sort of Royal anthem??). Anyway, the same tune as the U.S., "My Country Tis of Thee." Didn't know our countries had that connection.
Anyway, I assume those "picking up" after this event have there work cut out for them.

I watched it all live from start to finish. Enjoyed every moment...except maybe seeing the horrific hats/dresses of Princesses Eugena & Beatrice. Aside from that I can't understand why William is going bald when both his parents had decent heads of hair, and his brother still posses that delightful mop at the top of his head. I suppose he inherited that traitfrom his uncles Edward & Andrew...
While it got a bit tiresome hearing the comparissons between Kate & Diana's wedding days, it really couldn't be avoided.
Looking back, I remember watching Charles & Diana's wedding and although it was exciting and she was beautiful and none of us could possibly know how things would turn out...I never quite pictured this delightful girl as a future queen In contrast, from the moment Kate stepped out of her car there was an elegance and dignity about her that seemed to assure that this beautiful young woman IS one day destined to become Queen.
By the way,k the dress was perfect and so was the veil.

Pippa was gorgeous. I heard she did a taboo thing in that it's disrespectful to show your arms at The Abby.
Can any Brits here answer this protocol question. If Diana were alive as the mother of the groom would she have sat with the Royal family or banished to the other side with her family? And we she have gone out on the balcony?

I liked Pippa's dress too. She is pretty. I think still Kate has an edge though what do I know? I am laughing at a couple of the hats though (especially Sarah Ferguson's girls.

...Prince Charles has been losing his hair for years, it's just that his baldness is more obvious from the rear...
Thanks, Signor V...I really hadn't noticed that about Charles, he seems to have hidden it very well. However I took a good look during a wedding rerun and his balding is there for all to see.
Apparently William inherited his mother's looks and his father's hair, or lack thereof!!

Awaiting a 'Brit' to answer but my hunch is that although the mother of the groom and future King, having lost her HRH status Princess Diana may not have been permitted nor wanted to sit with the Royal Family. She might've stood either with Kate's parents or even more likely, her own Spencer family. I would assume she would have nevertheless accompanied all to the back rooom for signing of the 'Registry'. Camilla would not have been there because had Diana lived, Charles would not have been permitted to re-marry.
So many possibilities!!!
It's doubtful Diana would have been invited to appear on the balcony or even into Buckingham Palace for the various receptions. She probably would have given them one of her own at another location.
Just my guesses...pending more accurate info from 'a Brit'.

I agree!
I agree even more.

Don't get me started on the veil. It was as good as a sheet thrown over that poor woman's head. It was so thick, it looked like she had frowned, but that was actually the veil's way of hanging over her head. Her sister had a better dress than that of the bride IMHO. As for the the vows and the rambling before that, Zzzzzzzzzz. They still say all that in the churches in England? jeez! And grooms attire! That blue ribbon went very well with that red coat. He should've worn something dark or at least navy blue.
Good thing I don't care, or I'd have written a couple of more pages on how awful it was.

I heard a commentary last week by Bill Maher who talking of how women get into this kind of thing and are all excited about the "wedding dress." I like to see fashion at these types of events, (ie like Red carpet to awards, etc) I admit it.
Every woman has their own specific taste in dresses. When I married I had (and still prefer) a little more lace or fanciness as opposed to plain, but I did like Kate's dress. I thought it was very beautiful. All a matter of taste BUT us ladies can be very critical of fashion, especially when it comes to wedding dresses. We know what we like.

I didn't care for the blue sash worn by Willie. It didn't blend nicely with the black hat and pant. I realize that is the miltary dress uniform, but ....
