... watching strangers get married!

I watched the wedding. I watched all the coverage we could get in Germany. From 9-3. I watched it all. I held in my need for the washroom so I wouldn't miss a moment. I loved it. I loved seeing someone else's wedding and knowing that I didn't have to pay for it. I loved talking to Mareike and squealing with her when the Princes' left for the Abbey. That's also the only moment I shed a tear. It's also when I excitedly clapped, tapped on the screen, waved and repeatedly squealed 'You're getting married today, William!' I don't think he heard me though.

Like everyone else I was wondering what Kate was going to wear. I was hoping for something quite fashion-forward, something that would maybe be unexpected. It wasn't. It was beautiful, it screamed Grace Kelly, and the more I read about the idea behind it, the more I love it. Don't get me wrong, it's gorgeous, totally appropriate for her and a Royal Wedding, but it wasn't quite the 'gasp' I was hoping for. Her veil, on the other hand, took my breath away. Wa Wa Wee Wa. And her second dress is gorgeous. Really. I think I just expected something else from the fashion house that gave us this:

Now that would have been a 'wow'.

Want to know what my all time favourite thing about the wedding was? What I loved even more than the Queen's bright yellow outfit? More than the cartwheeling priest? More than Harry fooling around with William? THIS:

Every time I saw those trees, especially from above when you got a look at the whole Abbey, it took my breath away. Stunning. So beautiful. Perfect. I will go on about these trees to all and sundry for a while yet. So if you talk to me, you best steer away from this subject or I will not shut up.

Oh. I also thought the Bishop delivered the best sermon at a wedding I have ever heard. Well done, sir, well done.

Tomorrow it is on again with real wedding stuff. I can't wait to tell you all about our Honeymoon plans!
