The Royal Wedding

Mini-buses? Did the fairy godmother fail to turn up? I see the ugly sisters managed it...I'm thinking you, Beatrice and Eugenie. Not suggesting that they are really ugly. Probably not, underneath the slap and the panto outfits.  Why did Beatrice go dressed as a reindeer? It looked more appropriate for a stag night (boom boom) and was designed, no doubt, by Alice Tinker of Dibley Fashion House.

I'm sure the Royals were grateful that Earl Spencer didn't get to speak at the Abbey...
I agree with my co-author, Red, about the trees in the Abbey - didn't work for me either.  As she tweeted,  ' But at least Charles will have something to talk to'.

Also agree with Red about the music. T'was a tad sombre, and not easy to sing along to, which by that time of the day, we were all up for.

Very impressed with James Middleton, who had a major role in the whole production, and carried it off to BAFTA standard.

Want to know what Harry said to Wills when he turned round and saw Kate approaching. Have dismissed, "I've had her", as suggested by one of my footie supporter cohorts on Red Cafe.

Why did the Queen have a blanket over her knees on the way to the church - and notice how she left it in a heap on the floor of the car?  You can't just expect people to tidy up behind you all the time ma'am.  Oh, wait... 
Don't brides usually wait until after the wedding vows, to remove the veil?

Loved the sight of Wills and Kate suddenly driving out of Buck House in open-topped sports car. Must surely have given the security people a headache.

Very impressed with lack of ostentation in some areas - simple dress (for royalty), handful of bridesmaids, and Pippa Middleton, proving that less is definitely more.

Has Kate been pigging out following all the criticism about her weight - or did the jeweller provide the wrong size ring?  For a moment, was back in Dibley waiting for a hula-hoop to be produced, because it really didn't look as though that ring was going to go on! 

Speaking of Dibley, was anyone else expecting (hoping) that Sean Bean was going to appear at that always tense moment when the congregation are (? is) asked if anyone knows of any reason...
The romantic in me wants the best man and the maid of honour to announce that they're an item. Sorry, Chelsey - you win some, you lose some.

Surely the most bizarre moment of all though, was the somersaulting verger on the red carpet. I'm still not sure I didn't actually dream that. I mean, that doesn't happen at such a high profile, basically serious, event. And a final thought (till I come back to edit after remembering more)... I wouldn't want it for my daughter.
