I pvr’d the Royal Wedding on Thursday night. First thing Friday morning I tried to get my two boys excited about watching the wedding with me. The idea of seeing a ‘real princess’ captured their collective attention for approximately two milliseconds. 1 pillow fight, 2 shouting matches, and 1 bonked head later, I gave up and turned it off.
Luckily, Care and her boys showed up for a visit. We sent the 4 boys to the basement to play, made a pot of tea, and settled in to watch. Both Carolee and I sat there with big dorky grins and loved every minute of it! (Well… not EVERY minute. We zipped through the boring parts – thank you pvr.) Here are the parts that I want to remember:
Kate in her breathtaking Alexander McQueen gown:
Harry whispering “…wait till you see her…” to William, with the cutest grin as Kate walked up the aisle:
William whispering “You look beautiful” to Kate as she arrives at the altar (omg, so sweet):
Harry in the kids carriage:
Pippa looking fabulous (read this… ha!) as the maid of honor:
The balcony kiss:
Carolee and I shrieked/cringed/laughed when we saw it. We had to rewind it a couple of times partly because it was so quick, and we were like, THAT’S IT??? And partly to watch them grin and blush afterwards. We both agreed that they should have practiced more. But then again, the kiss looks perfect in all of the photos I’ve seen, so maybe they knew what they were doing after all.
Thank you William and Kate for allowing us to believe in fairy tales… please live happily ever after!
This was the perfect recap. I agree, it was magical.
ReplyDeleteGreat recap! I've watched it twice. It was just so beautiful and Kate looked immaculate. Hope you are having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing! i watched it at night and my son too proclaimed it was boring. I have been watching re-caps all weekend and can't get over how amazing her dress is! Sigh..
ReplyDeleteOh it was so fab wasnt it! I loved it all! Did you see the evening dress Kate changed into - beautiful! x
ReplyDeletegreat recap!
ReplyDeleteI like how they kissed twice on the balcony -- and their sweet faces afterward! Such a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Didn't they just look extremely happy? such a beautiful wedding. I hope they had a great time partying it up afterwards! Great post btw
ReplyDeleteIt was so amazingly-perfect! I was a sopping mess, but thankfully, got over my sappiness when my daughter asked about the "Real" Princess. I truly hope they are as happy and in love as they seem.
ReplyDeleteI lost myself in the fairy tale as I spent the weekend caring for a very sick boy. I wondered if Kate will ever hold a puke bucket for a sick toddler?
ReplyDeleteYes, it was so worth getting up and watching this - I didn't even have to worry about smearing my makeup at that hour!!
ReplyDeleteAwww! I love this post!!At first, I really thought people were making such a big deal out of the wedding, but I literally spent all day on Friday watching the coverage! It was so amazing and fun to see!!! And Harry is my new love!!! SO CUTE!! xoxo E & A
ReplyDeleteThere's a YouTube clip I saw of a loose horse galloping past the carriage but what got me when I saw it was the noise and the energy of the crowd down at street level. It was incredible. Also, the CTV news showed this one clip at Westminster Abbey after when they were cleaning up and they caught one of the priests doing cartwheels down the aisle. It was soo funny.
