Royal Wedding

[Ellen]

Lula, thank you for your explanation on the type of fabric used for the gown, and hence the fit. When I first read peoples opinions on here that it was ill fitting, I was like, really? They let a future princess go out in an ill fitting haute cotoure dress? It seemed unlikely to me, but then who am I? Plus, I really didn't think it looked bad. Now it all makes sense.

And MissGotRocks, I totally agree that the veil was the embellishment/accessory to her dress. Stunning.

@Ellen Go to DailyMail.co.uk online

They live for these royal weddings. I haven’t checked it out this morning but the always have at least 20 articles with all having lots of pictures (as in 50 or more) per articles.

callie, thank you!!

I'm so caught up in my own world nowadays that I had no idea this happened. A bit embarrassing considering the groom is a distant cousin of mine

I liked the dress. I love a beautiful 'boat neck' neckline. My teenage girls hate the style and have refused to wear anything with that neckline. Now, I bet it will become a huge trend....
Loved the veil.
Although the bracelet is Cartier and expensive, I am not a fan of the design. I do not like trillion diamonds which are the focal point of the piece. I love a chunky diamond bracelet. A bracelet design sort of like Lady Spencer's Bulgari diamond necklace would be pretty.
Not a fan of the Cartier earrings as well but I do not like halos.
The Queen has mastered the poker face and shows little emotion. She knows that she is under constant scrutiny and any facial reaction will be noted.

Ugh, I'm going to sound like such a grouch but I'm just not a big fan of the dress...looks stiff and heavy to me, and imo just doesn't seem to fit quite right. Love the tiara and jewelry choices. I thought she looked beautiful, and so happy! And Harry seems so smitten, really adorable! They both seemed so happy and in love, such a joy to see. I thought Charles accompanying Meghan down the aisle was such a welcoming and touching gesture, made me feel a little mushy lol.

Official photos

Hmm, the official pics are changing my mind a little about the dress, it looks really nice in these pics! Beautiful photos!

 

[Snowdrop13]

The Queen has managed to raise a smile for the photos, at least!

 

[LJsapphire]

I love the official photos

I am a fan of the dress. Thank you for the explanation of the type of fabric. It is supposed to look like that! It looks like a dress you might see in a medieval or renaissance painting, except in all white, which makes it modern. The tailoring and style is really timeless.

The photos are beautiful. The black and white photo captured their joy perfectly.

@Austina , I was kind of shocked after reading some of the comments in the Daily Mail regarding Meghan. Harry and Meghan both looked so very happy and seem to be extremely supportive of each other. Do many people in England really dislike her? I promise I will try not to drive you crazy asking questions.

I was surprised seeing how the Queen acted as she walked in the church past Harry and William. It seemed really cold.

No @Calliecake - the kind of people who generally like to comment in the Daily Mail are not representative of the average Brit. They are definitely a certain ‘type’

I think you can judge by the crowds and their reaction, that most people are happy for them and see it as a very positive and good thing for the monarchy. I would even go so far as to say, that after Diana’s death, there was a lot of bad feeling towards the Queen and the way things were handled. William & Harry, although obviously privileged, are viewed as far more normal and real, and have renewed people’s interest and support of the monarchy.

Events like the wedding bring huge amounts of revenue to the country, far outweighing the cost. How many people will have seen it, and are now thinking they’d like to visit?

There will always be naysayers, but intelligent people are happy that the younger royals are free to marry for love, and both William and Harry certainly look more than happy with their choices.

I find it hard to believe that Meghan has married Harry for any other reason, who would want to live their whole life in the public eye, having every aspect of their lives scrutinised in minute detail?

If you ever want to visit we’d be happy to show you around, we live near Windsor

I don't know, other than huge. I had an Aqua recut and you can view my thread for pics. Mine ended up being 8.34 x 8.20. Hers is like mine on steroids. (there's a good hand shot from a distance a bit down the page, for a real reference)

[meely]

@Austina definitely agree with you on Meghan. We are fairly near Windsor too.
The dailymail is great for photos but as for the content of the articles and the commentators

 

[Calliecake]

Thank you @Austina and @meely. I was hoping you were going to say this. Americans have always be captivated by royal weddings. I’m so glad the majority of Brits were thrilled with the wedding as well.

I completely agree with you @Austina about Meghan being in love with Harry. I don’t think any of us would enjoy having every aspect of our lives scrutinized.

 

[WeeOui]

I copied this photo of Meghan’s wedding band from today’s article in the Daily Mail about her first official outing as an official member of the family. I’m really loving the look of a plain, thin gold band.

 

[Austina]

Yoohoo @Calliecake - look what I got you

 

[Calliecake]

You made my day @Austina!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
