| The much anticipated kiss! |
Today is the day! The wedding was magical and exceeded all of my expectations. I must admit I did shed a few tears! I know it has been said countless times but the dress was stunning. I let out a little cheer when it was revealed that it was designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. What was particularly touching about the ceremony was the way in which you could really feel the love and warmth the couple share for each other. Especially when Prince William greeted Kate at the alter with the lines every Bride wishes to hear from their Groom "You look beautiful." and indeed she did.
Other highlights of the day were seeing the Queen drive to the Abbey with a blue blanket (speculation is mounting it was a slanket) it was so cute, she is 85 bless her! David Beckham arriving with his OBE medal on the wrong side oops! The bridesmaid Grace Van Cutsem covering her ears on the Royal Balcony, and for those who missed the presence of the late Princess Diana apparently as Kate reached the alter the sun came out leaving many of the crowd to speculate it was her presence.
I also enjoyed following the proceedings on Twitter as it gave the coverage another dimension. Especially seeing the amount of Americans who got up especially early to watch.
I have always been a Royalist and it is days like today that really make me proud to be British and part of a rich heritage.
Tomorrow I will be posting the pictures from the MINI dealership that I helped decorate for the royal wedding but for the rest of the evening I'm going to be watching all the highlights again!
