I have a major girl crush on Princess Kate. I want to be her American BFF. Kate has never handled herself with anything less than perfect poise and grace. She is so down to earth and utterly queenly at the same time. The royals are lucky to have her. I love that William and Kate love each other and that their mutual adoration is obvious. Oh, and I totally want Kate's hair.
The wedding was so gorgeous and perfect and totally lived up to the hype. William and Kate are so in love, and love, my friends, is a beautiful thing. Here are the things I loved most from the royal wedding:
Victoria Beckham's heels. Where can I get a pair of these?! Those heels will make any girl's legs look fab. And how awesome is she for wearing these heels while seven months pregnant?! The answer is super awesome. David Beckham is looking pretty swell, as well...
Pippa's dress. It was so simple and so fabulous. Her figure is really fabulous, too! Someday soon I hope to look that good.
Kate's dress. It was a complete show stopper. I thought it was absolutely perfect and very Grace Kelly-ish. I love Kate's modern elegant look (especially the pleats!). It is so her vibe. How cool is it that a commoner wore the Queen's tiara?! Kate is just so classy and her whole wedding day reflected that.
The fairy tale feeling. I feel kinda bad for posting this because William isn't smiling here, and in reality it seemed like they both couldn't stop smiling. But this is completely the best photo of the two of them. William and Kate, and the whole wedding, really, seemed like something out of a Disney movie. The best part of this fairy tale is that everything, especially the loving glances between the couple, seemed incredibly genuine.
Two kisses. True story: When I was younger and there was kissing in a movie, my mom would often rewind it and watch the kissing again. I just wanted to skip that part completely. But now the kissing parts in movies are totally my favorite. And real life kissing parts are even better. Thanks, mom!
Kate's reception dress. Love the angora shrug and the jeweled belt. Also, I secretly like that it looks like Camilla is wearing a nightgown - haha! Thanks for bringing sleeves back, Kate!
Sweet moments:
Kate looking completely calm and poised as she walks down the aisle. She definitely has an inner Char.
William waiting to see Kate in her gown while Harry turns around for a quick peek.
William telling Kate that she looks beautiful when she meets him at the top of the aisle.
William saying to Kate's father, "I thought this was supposed to be a small family affair."
William and Kate constantly looking at each other and smiling.
The prayer that William and Kate wrote for their wedding.
Kate's soft emotional voice as she says her vows.
Kate's "Oh, my!" as they step onto the balcony at Buckingham Palace and she sees the massive crowds.
William saying, "I love you" to Kate just before he kisses her for the second time.
William and Kate looking like a normal just married couple driving a decorated convertible (except said convertible is an Aston Martin!).
You know I think that my wedding was the most perfect wedding in the history of the universe, but I do believe that William and Kate's wedding topped it. Barely.
Can I just say that I love your coverage of the royal wedding? I was not cool enough to get up early and watch it.... but I definitely also get good vibes from this couple, and I like your tribute to it. :) I also like that you put in a link to that song... I played in the background as I read your tribute. Good song, happy wedding.
ReplyDeleteSo I have had to watch every bit of coverage that comes on because I missed the actual event! You mentioned a couple things I haven't seen anywhere else---the prayer (what a good idea!), Camilla's nightgown (haha), Kate's second dress (another fun idea!). Not so secretly, I like your photos more! I laugh, though, to think of that many people checking out the photo booth!
ReplyDeleteI love that you blogged about this. I think secretly every girl wanted to be Kate. She is beautiful, graceful, and wonderful. Thanks for sharing all the photos. It was nice to get to see them again. Sending much love.
ReplyDeleteI also LOVED her dress! What a gorgeous bride! Did you hear about the family picture with the little niece holding the pink object?
