Did you watch the royal wedding? If so, what did you think about the event?
I have to go off the beaten path of my regular blog topics to talk about yesterday’s Royal Wedding! Wasn’t it lovely? I’m still swooning over the event! What did you think of her dress? I thought William looked handsome in the military uniform. I also loved the feeling of anticipation in the air when Kate walked down the aisle and William had not seen her yet, and Harry glanced back and saw the bride coming.
Like a lot of the world, I was up at 3:45 to watch this event from beginning to end (just as I did 30 years ago for Diana’s and Charles’s wedding)! I didn’t want to miss a moment! I did miss the kiss because I had to take my son to school, but, I was able to see it when they showed the highlights! I watched footage off and on all day yesterday! I also didn’t mind re-watching stuff that I’d already seen! 🙂
I also enjoyed the way the couple glanced at each other…you’ve got two billion people watching your wedding, but, those looks they exchanged, were still private and intimate and touching.
I think this couple will have a happy and long marriage. It appears that they’re really, truly in love and when the press compared their wedding to Diana’s (30 years ago) it was a direct contrast to Diana’s wedding. Charles and Diana barely looked at each other and neither of them smiled. It was almost as if a feeling of doom surrounded them. But Kate and William appear to be suited for one another and I think it helps that Kate is years older than Diana, making her more suitable to enter the ranks of marriage.
I know this couple will have many trials and tribulations in spite of their desire to live a normal life. Can you imagine photographers watching your every move and reporting it? Can you imagine, not being able to eat a sandwich in public without being noticed?
However, in spite of all this, my gut tells me that this marriage will be a happy one, for the most part, and won’t end as traumatically as Diana’s and Chrarles’s wedding.
What are your thoughts about the wedding and the marriage? Leave a comment.
My favorite part of the wedding ceremony was the presence of Jesus Christ – no political correctness 🙂
I thought the wedding was very classy and sweet. I remember watching Princess Di get married when I was a little girl and she made such a fairy tale princess in her dress. I was not as impressed with Kate’s dress. I found it a little…uh…pointy. But I thought she did a great job looking poised in front of the huge crowd.
I loved it! I loved the Scripture selection of Romans 12. Excellent! I think this British couple are truly in love and wish them much happiness!
@Crittersitter and Rudi – I, too, enjoyed the scripture selection and also loved the fact that Jesus was a part of the ceremony.
@Joy, I thought Kate’s dress was pretty, but, I didn’t mention in my blog post that I thought my gown was prettier! I had a beautiful wedding dress and when people see my wedding pics, they always comment on it! Some of my pics are here, but, I can find a better pic of my wedding gown someplace:

I thought it was sweet that they had eyes only for each other.
@Linda – Me too! 🙂
The wedding was quite beautiful. The loving stares, the shared smiles, the whispered words, the Princess Grace-like gown, the scripture reading by Kate’s brother, the playful nature of William and Kate on the balcony, the car ride, I loved it all.
I’m glad they have each other. They are an enchanting, young couple who deserve to be happy.
May God bless their union.

@Kim, I totally agree with you! 🙂
I thought William at times looked like a little boy at Christmas. He’d grin like he couldn’t wait to begin life with Kate. He also looked strong and manly. Perfect combination for a groom.
Romans 12 is one of my favorite chapters. I find myself back there frequently.
@Jackie – I, so, totally agree with everything that you said! 🙂
I hope everybody has a blessed week!
