That's A Wrap

Congrats to Wills and Kate for getting it done so that we can all go back to a normal life now that its over!

Stunning, elegant and regal were the words that came to mind as I turned my TV on at 6:15 EST to catch the precise moment the couple exchanged vows. Kudos to me for impeccable timing.

Happiest are the days of a wedding and I wish them much love, patience and happiness as they enter into this blessed union. I pray the press of the world have learned their lesson from Prince William's mum, Diana, and please respect the dignity and the need for privacy of another human being's life. But I fear they won't and Kate hunt is just beginning. The paparazzi have their new sacred cow.

I wondered what Diana might look like in the pews of the Abbey and how vibrant her smile might have been as her boy became a married man. The bit of mischief in her younger son Harry's eyes gave way to the warmth of his mother and her several breaks. with protocol. Indeed, she was there. I couldn't help but sense the "commoner" in Wills bride, and I hope she never looses that quality as she ascends into her inevitable position of the most photographed woman in the world.

Let the celebrations begin, and hoist a cold one to the Royal Couple today.

Well done.

  1. As a newly wed, I couldn't help but think, "Our wedding was better." But is looked very nice.

    And I held my wife's hand as we watched.

  2. The only question I have is for Heff: When he saw the sister, Pippa, would you hit that?

  3. I don’t even particularly like weddings but you do get kinda swept away by all that pomp and circumstance. I can’t wait till they’re King and Queen, and not just because I forged Queen Elizabeth’s will, making me the Duke of Earl. (I don’t really know the way royalty works, apparently.)

  6. Saw part of it since I had no other choice this morning, but I could really care less. Still - I hope they have a happy marriage.
