The Royal Wedding

So we watched the Royal Wedding live on BBC n I was blown away... literally  *-*

From the start to the finish, the wedding ceremony was nothing but sheer pleasure to watch!

To start off, Kate Middleton's dress was GORGEOUS!!! It was designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.

The dress is made with ivory and white satin gazar.  The skirt echoes an opening flower, with white satin gazar arches and pleats.  The train measures two metres 70 centimetres.  The ivory satin bodice, which is narrowed at the waist and padded at the hips, draws on the Victorian tradition of corsetry and is a hallmark of Alexander McQueen’s designs.  The back is finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons fastened by Rouleau loops.  The underskirt is made of silk tulle trimmed with Cluny lace.

The dress is very similar in design to Grace Kelly's wedding dress.

Almost every woman at the wedding had a hat or another form of a headpiece on! It really was quite a sight!

Just thought I'd post some pictures that I particularly liked from the net  :P

Prince William and Kate Middleton got their first royal wedding present from the Queen!!  The titles Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! 

The palace statement said William was also named the Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus. Middleton took those titles when she said "I will," becoming Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus.

Strathearn ties William and Middleton to Scotland, where the pair met and fell in love. Baron Carrickfergus is a little-used title which refers to one of the oldest towns in Northern Ireland.

Just Married

After the lunchtime reception, the couple were seen driving away in Prince Charles' 1969 Aston Martin convertible!!!!  : D

The car was given to Prince Charles as a 21st Birthday present, and he had it converted in 2008 so that it runs on biofuel made from English wine wastage.

Well, that just about sums it up!  :)  Hope you all enjoyed today as much as I did!

C ya!  :)
