I can't read all the pages so letting fly with a coupla thoughts.
I watched the wedding on youtube. Just gorgeous altho I didn't "get" the indoor trees. All I thought of was they were blocking someone's view!
Her dress was fabulous but I was expecting more bling. However, after thinking about it, her dress reflected herself just perfectly.
I think the monarchy got a real shot in the arm!

I watched all the wedding. I loved every minute of it. I love the Royals. My favorite reading is historical European novels and non-fiction. I watched Princess Di's wedding. I even stayed up most of the night and watched the live cornation of Queen Elizabeth. Yes, I am older than most of you.
And the night shall be filled with music and the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs and as silently steal away. Longfellow |

I loved watching the wedding, but I did get a "rolling on the floor laughing" fit at the hats in the audience. Oh my gosh. It was My Fair Lady and the Ascot Races all over again. The song kept wafting through my mind:
(sung with nose in the air and absolutely no facial expressions!)
"Every duke and earl and peer is here.
Everyone who should be here is here.
What a smashing, absolutely dashing spectacle -
the ascot opening day!...
Pulses - rushing.
Faces - flushing.
Heartbeats - speed up.
I have never been so keyed up."
There was one lady in the audience with a humongous black number that had the brim completely tilted to the side of her head so that she looked like she had a giant, black flying saucer attached to her face. The man behind her, straining to see through the monstrosity looked very English and appeared to be "not amused."
What was she thinking??
I know it doesn't take much to make me laugh. :-)

I watched the entire thing on BBC America. There was a brief explanation of the trees in the Abby. They were Maple Trees and they signified....actually I forget what they signified.....but it was important to the couple. The trees will be planted on the grounds where they will take up residence.
