I don't think I could have been any more excited for the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton this morning. I had champagne chilled and was ready to go, however I found my bed far too comfy at 5am, and wound up watching from there while snuggled up with Mar and Lincoln. I also spent Thursday night making Royal Cupcakes and I've been a rambling mess at work all week, talking with anyone who will listen about this morning's nuptials. And today, in honor of our new Duchess Catherine (please, she'll be known to everyone as Princess Catherine in no time), I wore to work a black headband with a very large flower on the side- very reminiscent of the British "fascinator" hats so frequently donned by the new Princess.
I, like the rest of world, thought Catherine (she no longer goes by "Kate") looked absolutely stunning. Her dress was elegant and classy, yet appropriately modern. I can't imagine the knockoff's that will be inspired and seen across weddings for the next year. The Brits did a great job with crowd control and I was especially amazed at the precise timing of the event. Catherine arrived on time and was ushed out of the car and immediately down the aisle. I had anticipated a lot of waiting around time but was pleasantly surprised at the efficiency. The music was lovely and the readings were poignant as well. And who could resist a smile while Prince Harry watched Catherine walk down the aisle, was caught by cameras whispering details to his big brother. And again when she finally arrived and Will whispered to her "You look beautiful." I think the wedding overall was an absolute "10!"
I read an article that hopes this wedding will inspire the end of the "porno-chic" style that has dominated the popular world in recent years. The fake boobs, bleached hair, over-revealing clothing, etc, etc! Kate- er, Catherine, is demure and conservative yet is arguable one of the most beautiful women to win her way into hearts and homes around the world. Perhaps her style will help evolve the perception of beauty and girls will see that they can be stunning without showing the world all "everything they have to offer."
