So did something epic happen? Because I just found out about the wedding LOL.

The Tories are in power.

 

What does that have to do with anything? Labour under Brown certainly weren't any better! They brought the country to its knees.:dozey:

There was a lovely wedding and everyone had a fantastic time!:D

So did something epic happen? Because I just found out about the wedding LOL.

 

There were two epic things that could have happened today.

1. They didn't get married.

2. A terrorist attack.

 

And before you try, don't misconstrue my words, I'm talking gigantic size, not amazingness when I use the word epic. I'm glad neither happened.

 

But either of those things would certainly have had me watching as it would have been far more interesting.

As much as you bringing up Coldplay does.

Errm and Labour are much better? Don't kid me. It's a bent parliamentary system with bent parties and if anyone thinks one is worse than the other then get real.

Nice to see you wouldn't vote for either.

Here comes the McQueen: Kate Middleton marries her Prince in stunning design by Sarah Burton

Since the engagement was announced, the world has been waiting with bated breath for the moment Catherine Elizabeth Middleton would transform from commoner to royal bride.

 

And the smiling Duchess of Cambridge was the picture of poise as she walked down the aisle wearing a stunning white lace and satin Alexander McQueen gown designed by Sarah Burton - finally confirming the best - and worst-kept secret in fashion history.

 

Classic style: HRH Duchess of Cambridge emerges from Westminster Abbey, with her new husband Prince William. Her Alexander McQueen couture dress took its style lead from the Fifties

 

 

 

 

Breathtaking: Catherine's feminine dress was understated yet show-stopping

 

 

 

 

The 9ft train flowed from a skirt echoing an opening flower, with white satin gazar arches and pleats

The bride was heavily involved in designing the dress - working closely with Burton to ensure it would be a combination of both the traditional and the modern, yet in keeping with the Alexander Lee McQueen vision and attention to detail.

Kate has always divided critics with her elegant and simple wardrobe choices - though some accuse her of failing to be fashion-forward.

 

However, her classic gown is testament to her personality and remains true to her demure sense of style.

 

The dress was made with Individual flowers hand-cut from lace and hand-engineered onto ivory silk tulle, with button detailing on the lace sleeves

 

 

 

The bride was heavily involved in the design and worked closely with Burton to ensure the design would be a combination of both tradition and modern

 

LIZ JONES GIVES HER VERDICT

 

'What a triumph. A restrained dress from Sarah Burton, creative director at Alexander McQueen, when I wonder whether, if Lee has still been alive, our future queen would have been splattered with paint by a robot, or forced to pole dance.

'The English lace, hand embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework, was demure but pretty.

'The trademark McQueen padding at the hip made her waist look even smaller, while the corset meant her posture was that of a queen: upright, and formal.

'Kate didn't didn't falter once, which tells me her wedding slippers, also by McQueen, were no more than a couple of inches high, not the 'hoof' McQueen was so fond of.

What a great day for British fashion, but also for Kate, whose modesty could be seen in every hand stitch'

 

 

 

The result was an elegant lace appliqué bodice with 9ft train that appeared to be inspired by Grace Kelly's gown for her marriage to Monegasque Prince Rainier III.

She accessorised with a 1936 diamond 'halo' tiara by Cartier - her 'something borrowed' - lent to her by the Queen.

The hair was, as expected, worn in her signature loose waves with a 'demi-chignon'.

The natural look was offset by pear-shaped diamond earrings designed by Robinson Pelham and inspired by the Middleton's new coat of arms.

The veil - made of layers of soft, ivory silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers - fell to her waist, framing her naturally beautiful face.

 

The dress was made with Individual flowers hand-cut from lace and hand-engineered onto ivory silk tulle to create a unique and organic design - incorporating the rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock.

 

The matching wedding shoes were also hand-made by the team at Alexander McQueen and are made of ivory duchesse satin with lace hand-embroidered.

Though hidden her graceful walk would suggest the heels were low.

How William and Kate's first public kiss on the Palace balcony signals a great future together (unlike Charles and Diana's)

Beneath the famous balcony thousands of cheering well-wishers watched as Prince William and his new bride The Duchess of Cambridge finally kissed. Kate giggled afterwards while William smiled broadly.

Like Prince Charles and Diana before them, the romantic gesture will become one of the defining images of their wedding day - and both will be acutely aware of its significance.

Body language expert Peter Collett, author of The Book Of Tells, said the body language of William and Catherine was diametrically opposed to that of Charles and Diana 30 years ago. And their loving gestures towards one another signals that theirs will be a long and happy union.

 

At last! Prince William and his new bride Catherine seal their love with a kiss on the Palace balcony

 

 

All smiles: Prince William and Kate kissed twice on the balcony of Buckingham Palace - to the delight of the gathered crowds

 

He says: 'In 1981, there were loads of signs the relationship didn't have a great future and most of them came from Charles. He looked miserable, paid Diana very little attention and, during the ceremony, wiped his eyes not once but twice - a classic sign of sadness and, one suspects, regret.

 

'Today, we see a completely different picture with both William and Kate regally composed and obviously enjoying the occasion - William uncharacteristically totally confident and the couple completely into each other.

'When they made their vows, they looked into each other's eyes, and they were other touching moments during the rendition from the choir when they showed some wonderful examples of synchronicity with Kate glancing at William and William sensing this and looking lovingly back.'

 

The kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace was the first time William and Kate had kissed in public.

 

The fleeting embrace sent the already ecstatic crowds wild, and was repeated during the flypast.

After more than five minutes of waving to the crowds, the couple walked hand in hand back through the doors of the palace.

 

Earlier, stepping on to the balcony, Kate appeared to gasp 'Oh my' as the royal couple saw the thousands of well-wishers lining the Mall before being joined by members of their family.

 

When the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer married on July 29, 1981, their kiss became one of the most enduring images in royal history.

 

Their break from formality and royal protocol came in direct response to clamours from the expectant crowds below.

 

At the time, Charles was reported to have said to Diana: 'I am not going to do that caper. They are trying to get us to kiss.' Then she responded: 'Well, how about it?'

Relaxed: Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, and his bride Sarah Ferguson taunt the crowd before their rather unconventional kiss after their wedding in 1986

 

 

But as the young princess arched gracefully backwards, her veil flowing behind her in a fairytale pose, her husband appeared rather less at ease, creating a slightly stilted embrace.

 

Five years later, the Duke and Duchess of York followed in their footsteps, appearing to relish their wedding day 'balcony moment'. They taunted the cheering crowd, cupping their ears and leaning over as if being unable to hear the chants of the well-wishers below.

 

'When they kissed, it was with a sense of fun, they were giggling and smiling at each other and it appeared much sexier,' body language expert Judi James said. 'It was not the chaste kiss of Charles and Diana.'

 

Formal: There was no kiss on the balcony in 1947 when Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip were married

Earlier today Kate and Wills looked very much in love, as the Prince leaned towards his bride at the alter and whispered 'You look beautiful'.

Earlier today there were cheers from the crowd as the famous Buckingham Palace balcony, where William and Kate were due to appear after the service for their first kiss in public, was decorated with a crimson drape lined with yellow edging.

Bea and Eugenie strike again! The Princesses top the fashion flops yet again in outlandish outfits

Among all the fantastic outfits and array of dizzying hats on display at the Royal Wedding, there were unfortunately a few that failed to pass muster.

 

Leading the way in the fashion faux pas were Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, who chose bravely but perhaps unwisely judging by the response of royal fans and pundits.

The girls are known to love experimenting with fashion, but perhaps today wasn't the time.

 

Beatrice's taupe Valentino Haute Couture dress and matching coat were elegant, but her headpiece was deemed to be a ludicrous addition, perching on her forehead at an impossible angle and detracting from her sophisticated outfit.

Her hat, which celebrity bridal stylist Camilla Ridley-Day suggests was the wrong shape for her face, has already sparked a Facebook group named Princess Beatrice's Ridiculous Hat, with members mocking up pictures of the Princess with monsters on her head.

 

 

Getting it wrong: Princess Eugenie of York in Vivienne Westwood and Princess Beatrice of York in Valentino haute couture arrive at Westminster Abbey for the wedding ceremony of Prince William and Kate Middleton

As for sister Eugenie, was she wearing this outfit, or was it wearing her?

The Princess picked a gaudy blue and green Vivienne Westwood suit that pulled too tightly around her bosom and waist - she certainly won't be enjoying much of the caramelised goat's cheese tart at the wedding breakfast - and a voluminous taffeta skirt that should have emphasised her feminine form, but instead made her bottom half look large.

The asymmetrical hem was wonky and wrinkled, the skirt was creased (don't the Royals own irons?) and the patterned jacket much too dramatic a tone that drained rather than complemented her alabaster skin.

 

Camilla Ridley-Day said that sadly, the girls' look just didn't work. 'They were trying too hard to look "fashiony"', she said, adding that the colour on Eugenie's outfit was 'too strong'.

 

Tara Palmer Tomkinson, who was keen to show off her new nose at the ceremony, wore an eccentric outfit in top-to-toe cobalt, with slim-fitting cowl-neck sheath matching exactly with her Philip Treacy hat, leather gloves and studded platform shoes.

It was undeniably eye-catching, but for the all wrong reasons.

The overall result was brash and in-your-face, says Camilla Ridley-Day, who would have advised a more subtle approach.

Another blunder came from Ed Milliband's partner Justine Thornton, who suffered the same fate as Diana many years ago, when her full-skirted taffetta dress became horribly creased en route to the Abbey.

 

Her navy ensemble may have seemed right in theory, but in reality it was a disaster.

The skirt cut her calves off at the wrong place, the shrunken velvet jacket with its baggy, wrinkled arms looked like it had a run in with a pair of shears and a hot wash and her stiff lace hat splatted dementedly on top of her head, spiking out at all angles and looking for all the world as though it was thrown there from a great height.

 

 

Oh dear: Ed Miliband's partner Justine struck the wrong note with her creased taffeta skirt, incongruous funnel neckline, shrunken, wrinkled jacket and demented hat, while Tara Palmer Tomkinson looked brash

 

It was a bad day all round for politicians' supposedly better halves.

 

Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, wife of Nick Clegg, made a dramatic statement in a form-fitting lace overlay dress, black stilettos, turban and vibrant flower headpiece, but while she undoubtedly made a statement, maybe it was the wrong sort.

 

Celebrity bridal stylist Camilla Ridley-Day said it was 'all a bit much', adding that her hat looked a little ridiculous.

Twitter users were more colourful in their descriptions, calling her outfit 'part Carmen Miranda, part Roxie Hart'.

 

Sally Bercow, wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons, showed scant regard for royal protocol as she stepped out in a black lace wrap dress with plunging neckline and revealing hemline with split skirt.

 

Either Ms Bercow was unaware of, or simply disregarded, the formal dress code that calls for demure neckline and skirt length as she revealed a shocking expanse of her ample cleavage and a flash of thigh.

 

 

 

Dog's dinner: Sally Bercow's dress was too short and the neckline too low, while right, Clegg's wife Miriam looked dramatic, but the combination of lace, gloves, turban and corsage made for a jumbled result

 

 

Her flouting of formalities would not have come as a surprise to many, thanks to Ms Bercow's penchant for sensational headline-grabbing outfits. After all, who could forget the semi-naked Ms Bercow posing in view of the Houses of Parliament in a bed sheet? Nonetheless, her outfit choice certainly raised a few eyebrows.

 

Samantha Cameron broke with royal wedding tradition, choosing to turn up at the Abbey bare-headed. Although her Burberry dress with its demure sleeves and neckline fit the bill, onlookers said her head looked strangely naked - especially in contrast to the elaborate headgear of fellow guests.

A Labour MP has since come out to criticise the move, while social media sites are rife with discussion on her decision to go hatless.

 

But protocol-buster of the day surely goes to Lady Kitty Spencer, daughter of Earl Spencer, who wore a very snug Victoria Beckham dress, revealing an expanse of decolletage, the effect of which was only enhanced by the overhead camera angle.

 

Informal: Samantha Cameron chose not to wear a hat for the royal wedding, a move which some commented made her head look 'naked' and her overall look unfinished

Yes, but even the most cynical of people would be able to see that there was nothing negative about this occasion.:dozey:

As for Coldplay, this is a Coldplay site, so no references are ever random.;)

And anyway, it's just a bit of fun.:cool:

 

Maybe so, but you implied Britain was a nation of morons.:dozey:

 

Stay cool and fun

and be even more negative, but logic, nobody will hear me either.

then they should call the nation planetary of morons. :confused: :(

 

they must explain why there are increasingly wealthy and increasingly poors in worldwide ?

then finally the people looking into the joy of this fairy tale, because they are desperate in life and want to see a better economy and better world. is the reality.

 

that's why me I'll only see in this marriage the love between Kate and William.

Lady Di has never known love, because she believed in fairy tale with her ​​Prince Charles with all the books de Barbara Cartland .

yes because this woman has always been manipulated by the royal family.

then yes if the true love of this couple may one honored the great heart of Lady Di.

William lost his mother and nothing more has never been like before.

William have the character of his mother in sorrow and loss. William does not resemble of his father.

I think I understand what you're saying, and you're right.

An occasion like this gives hope to people amidst all the doom, gloom and disasters.

 

And no, you can't compare this marriage to that of Charles and Di, as Wills and Kate are clearly very much in love, and they are also clearly very compatible, which Charles and Di most definitely weren't.

It's also true that Wills is far more like his mother than his father, thankfully, and that's predominantly due to the way Di raised him.

In summary, all the ingredients are there for a successful, lifelong marriage.:cool:

They're was a lovely wedding and everyone had a fantastic time!:D

Ah okay!

There were two epic things that could have happened today.

1. They didn't get married.

2. A terrorist attack.

 

And before you try, don't misconstrue my words, I'm talking gigantic size, not amazingness when I use the word epic. I'm glad neither happened.

 

But either of those things would certainly have had me watching as it would have been far more interesting.

I like your point of view, and I agree about the last part. I just heard on the news that about 2.5 billion watched the event. Just what is so fascinating about two people getting married!?

The future king of England isn't just any person. Plus he happens to be Princess Di's son, which increases the fascination ten-fold.;)

The Tories are in power.

 

not the governments of morons, all the monarchy and the richs peoples .

Didn't know about her keen interest in tennis, i like her even more now.

There are many kings on this world, and none of their weddings seem to be as interesting to the media as the English ones.

 

Anway, great that the English people had a work free day and fun.
