As a British taxpayer, I have paid money towards the Royal Wedding, I wanted to get my money's worth, so I am watching it!

I'd be the first person to admit that I'm hardly an authority on anything fashionable...










...but what the bloody hell did Andrew's daughters look like?  8-P

They have left the Abbey, with Kate Middleton now the Duchess of Cambridge, amid cheers from thousands of well-wishers lining the procession route.

Prince William has been made Duke of Cambridge, and his wife the Duchess of Cambridge, Buckingham Palace has said.

The prince has also taken the titles Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, linking him to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

He has been given the titles by the Queen to mark his marriage. Catherine also becomes her royal highness.

Giving new titles to a member of the Royal Family on their wedding day is a long-standing tradition.

I watched it, but could hardly hear anything because my husband turned the radio on at the same time.

Watch the repeat later on.

If I was having a wedding watched by the whole world, I'd be making money off it.  I'm sure my bride wouldn't mind having a Coca-Cola logo on the back of her dress :D


What about your tuxedo?

The ring is placed on her finger.

It's quite interesting than I thought it would be. I wish I had time to watch it now. Maybe they'll post it on Youtube one day.  :(

Beatrice!

Thanks, i can never remember which is which of those two!



We watched tv from around 15 minutes before the wedding started.  The kids got bored and wandered off after the vows had been exchanged.  Dai missed the whole thing, he went for a bike ride.

We missed 'the kiss' - it was lunchtime!

What time will they depart for their honeymoon?  I tried to check on the beeb website but it has crashed!

Is it a law in Britain that if you attend a royal wedding that you have to wear an ugly hat?


Ok, I didn't watch-though I admit that I may sometime today on YouTube. However, I do wish William & Kate much happiness and I hope their marriage is a lot better than William's parents was.

Did Camilla Parker-Bowles attend?


She did...and a rather strange moment in the Abbey before the start of the service...

HM barely acknowledged her, but Philip couldn't keep his lips off her...the dirty old sod!

London Mayor Boris Johnson is to give tandem bicycle based on the city's bike hire scheme as a wedding present to Prince William and Kate Middleton.

After weeks of speculation Kate Middleton's very British wedding dress has been revealed.

Designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, it has a lace appliqué bodice and skirt, and veil. The bride wore her hair down, with a tiara.

Ms Burton said creating the royal wedding dress had been the "experience of a lifetime".

Not everyone did have the day off work last Friday, when back in 1981 it was a complete Bank Holiday.

Queues have formed around Westminster Abbey of crowds waiting to see the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding bouquet, as the royal couple are expected to return to Anglesey.

Catherine's bouquet and the avenue of trees which flanked the aisle are on display at the abbey for a week.

Meanwhile, Clarence House has confirmed her wedding dress will go on show.

A £1 'wiggly worm' toy which made an unplanned appearance in the official royal wedding photographs was bought by Prince Harry to keep the younger bridesmaids happy, the Duchess of Cornwall has revealed.

The bright pink toy is seen clutched in the hand of Camilla's granddaughter, three-year-old Eliza Lopes, in the photographs.

Camilla said: "That was the funniest thing. I can't believe no one has spotted it."

The Duke of Cambridge has been involved in two rescues, just days after his wedding.

Prince William was among the crew of an RAF Sea King helicopter from RAF Valley in Anglesey who flew to the aid of a 70-year-old walker in Snowdonia.

The man was said to have had a heart attack on the 2,946ft (898m) Lliwedd mountain on Wednesday night.

After flying him to hospital in Bangor the crew returned and flew four men off Snowdon after one suffered vertigo.

I found this about it:
It’s the sort of investment you might have expected Duncan Bannatyne to reject with a swift: ‘I’m out!’

But, it being for charity after all, the Dragons’ Den star became the first person to stump up cash for Princess Beatrice’s controversial royal wedding hat when it went up for auction on eBay. His £5,000 bid came within minutes of the Philip Treacy-designed fascinator going on sale in aid of children’s charities Unicef and Children in Crisis.

He told the Mail: ‘I’d encourage everyone to get bidding to raise as much money as possible – for once I don’t mind if I don’t walk away with the deal.’

I have a hat here that I could really make garish, I wonder if it'd sell if I put it up on e-bay?  I could use the money for car repair...

Give it a go!

NOW £80,000!!!!!


I still think it'd be more shocking if you just hit us with the final total....  I mean it started it £5,000 and if at the end it sold for £155,000 pounds we'd be like NO WAY!!!  :o    but with all these updates the build up is gone. Now I no longer care what the hat sells for. the shock of the climbing price has been diminished...

With the auction close to its Sunday closing, 39 bidders were competing for the hat, described on eBay as a "unique sculptural celebratory headpiece".

Sometime between the time of my last indication of the current auction price for the hat and now, the item has been removed.

Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge have returned to the UK from their 10-day honeymoon in the Seychelles, St James's Palace has said.

I have a feeling spammers were involved.

A sailor says he was pounced on by Royal minders after accidentally invading Prince William and Kate Middleton's honeymoon island in the Seychelles.

Martin Ernstbrunner, 36, from Bad Fischau, Austria, claims he and girlfriend Tracy were trying to land their home made catamaran on what they thought was a deserted island.

The couple were on an island-hopping cruise in the Indian Ocean when they spotted what they thought was the perfect empty beach.

But Mr Ernstbrunner told Austria's Heute newspaper that royal security and local coastguards began swarming over their boat as soon as they landed.

"It just shows you that no matter how far you go, how much you pay and how good the security is - you just can't stop a German-speaking holidaymaker from trying to put his towel on your sun bed," laughed one royal aide.

The royal couple reportedly paid £40,000-a-night for total privacy on the remote island away from prying eyes.

I have a feeling spammers were involved.


Maybe Fergie was trying to up the ante, get herself a cut.

The winning bidder's name is only known as n***o, can that narrow it down to who it is?

Speaking of headgear:

- Actual billboard in LA.  Observe two leftmost hats.  Karma to anyone who can link the remaining hats with their real-world owners from last year.

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, "That's The Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard" got their hands on an actual press kit for next weekend's royal wedding.

No, really.  Entertainment Weekly picked up on it too.

By the way, keep your eyes on the New York Times wedding section this week!

From L-R:
Rainbow Dash: Princess Eugenie
Pinkie Pie: Princess Beatrice
Rarity: Victoria Beckham (Eeyup!)

Fluttershy: Someone claimed Tara Palmer-Tomkinson (but in maroon, not blue, and with a characteristic butterfly, not a flower)

Twilight Sparkle: They also claimed Miriam Gonzalez, which is probably a bit of a stretch.

Applejack: As herself :)
