I definitely need to mark this moment in time, so if you’re royal wedding-ed out, go ahead and skip this one.
Mom & I got up at 5 this morning to watch the wedding before we went to work. I recorded the wedding hype beginning at 1am this morning on NBC and TLC (gotta get the legit news and the gossip too!).
We got to see most of the wedding and then a little of the journey from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace before I went to work. Throughout the day, I was checking Twitter to keep up on it and now, home after a long day of work & a trip to the Tri-Cities, we’re watching all the recaps.
Here’s my personal commentary!
I loved her wedding dress. So simple and perfect for a royal wedding. And her sister’s dress – I loved the shape of it. Beautiful!
I really liked seeing all the guests – their hats & headdresses, dresses, and royalty & dignitaries from around the world. The British just do hats like no one else can…why can’t American’s embrace that tradition??
Well…maybe not… :)

More pictures to remember the day…
Did you see William lean over to Kate’s dad and say “This was supposed to be a small family gathering…”?
My other favorite part was after their vows & after William gave Kate her ring, the crowd outside the Abbey cheered and Kate smiled. So cute!
How great was this – that William drove their getaway car! Loved that surprise!
I think her second wedding dress was as beautiful as her first – definitely younger looking and more fashionable that the first. That will be copied for sure.
And finally, their new official portrait – which I think really shows them as a normal couple. “They” (who’s they?!) say that William and Kate are the beginning of a “modern monarchy” and I think this more casual portrait points to that.
I’m pretty fascinated with most things royal…British and otherwise, so this was pretty exciting! I wish it wouldn’t have been in the middle of the night on a Friday – otherwise I would’ve liked to have a royal wedding party! How fun would that be?!

I TOTALLY would have come to your party. I think we were blogging at the same time:) I will watch this footage all weekend. As long as they keep playing it, i will keep watching it. Lets go to London together....I could get a babysitter:)
I thought it was great too, she is so beautiful, I love how proper they are, we are so sloppy and dont have any manners here in America, we could take some lessons!

Love your recap. I too can not get enough. If I were a bride this year I would walk into a dress shop and say "give me the Kate Middleton"... Beautiful!!
