The Royal Wedding

Kate and William married today. She was beautiful. She was radiant. I approve. Dana, our 4:00 PM producer, told me as soon as she saw the dress all she could think of was Grace Kelly. All I could think was bride’s family pays.

Did they have it on a Friday because they couldn’t get the hall on Saturday?

Helaine enjoyed the wedding though she’d DVR’ed it and was watching on a delay and avoiding her computer. She didn’t want to catch something in realtime she’d be seeing later.

Back when Charles and Di were married Helaine and her co-workers threw their own reception. They all arrived at work dressed for the occasion. Today at home we were more informal.

“It was beautiful,” Helaine said. Then she added, “I think Steffie should marry a prince.”

Indeed she should.

  1. She was wearing diamond earrings that her parents gave her. They gave a pair to her sister as well. What, did they get a discount???? Wedding was gorgeous. Their leaving Buckingham Palace in a two-seater Aston Martin convertible was much fun!

  2. I am currently in London, and watched the Royal Wedding at a friend’s house with a bunch of other North Americans and anti-Royalist Brits. (The cake at the party said “RUN KATE RUN!” on it, that sort of thing. 😉 Actually it was quite lovely, and in stark contrast to Charles & Di’s wedding it was quite obvious that Wills & Kate actually do love each other. It was also cool to watch the flyover on TV and hear it at the same time. 🙂

    Over here, though, today was all about the extra-long weekend (today is a national holiday in the UK). Very few Brits — at least not the ones I know — give two sods about the royal family. It’s been an interesting cultural observation, being here this week.

  3. What I thought was spectacular was that they seemed to pay attention to the economy. Simple and pretty. And unlike Diana , Kate has had time to consider what is really happening to her.

  4. I wasn’t up during the wedding, but seen videos on Youtube and pictures and stuff on the news about and the wedding was beautiful. I loved Kate’s wedding dress! She looked beautiful!
