Too Funny!
My daughter(11) has a friend who is staying home from school to watch the wedding live on TV. We of course made our daughter go to school.
Still it looks like it was a lovely ceremony. The Prince certainly has a lot of class and I really liked seeing him in the Irish Guards Uniform as a nod to the men currently serving in Afghanistan.

{sm2}I watched it for the history, uniforms and medals being worn. One little tidbit. Did you notice that Harry and other Cavalry officers walked funny? Thats because they wear spurrs, and have to keep their heels out so they don't strike the boots, or trip them up. Cavalry are more impressive mounted and less walking. Loved it anyway. I'm an Aussie who loves Ceremony. Cheers, Johno.

On the channel I was watching, the announcers made a horrible racist joke about the Irish. They were playing some march, and the guy says, "Wow, that's so beautiful it would turn anyone into an Anglo-file.....Oh wait, except the Irish!"
What an inappropriate comment to make, especially in consideration of the uniform....

I was listening to John Oliver on The Daily Show cover the Royal Wedding and interviewing Britons. Funny replies about the cost or lack of interest, but it is of course a comedy news show. Thomas Jefferson might have said "...It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.." for the Royal Wedding to be such a big expensive event. I enjoyed seeing the uniforms, flags etc. plus some happy people. My neighbor did start to do a Peter Cook impression as the ceremony started.

Apparently the profits are much higher than the costs... A great $ day for London, besides all else. And indeed a beautiful ceremony (nobody does it quite like the British!), great views from London and a fine looking couple.

Well said Paulo,
Was a superb day, to see 1million people in and around the mall was fantastic. I don't care how much the Royals cost, I think they are worth every penny. William and Kate sem a really nice couple and more impotant they seem like they really love each other, William will not make the same mistake his father did. Kate and her sister looked Gorgeous and Kate will make a great Queen one day. I watched and loved every second of it and myself and the wife made one decision whilst we did, next year for the Queen's Diamond anniversary we are going to be in amongst that million in the mall, can't wait!
