The Royal Wedding

The hats were pretty much my favorite thing, from gorgeous to downright ridiculous!

I agree and yanno, she most certainly did not make that decision herself. There was a lot of protocol to follow and I’m sure Pippa did not have much say in what color her dress was going to be. It wouldn’t surprise me at all that that the bride’s mother was given a list of “appropriate” colors to wear.

The bride, her sister and their mother are beautiful in a very natural way to me. Dad and brother are attractive, too. They all looked anxious and stressed to me. Probably told more than once about cameras being on your face at all times!!

Pippa was great with the child attendants- they are never easy, just little kids with expectations around them to be "good." That was a pretty long ceremony for little kids to get through. One of the little girls was falling asleep in the carriage on the way back to the palace.

One thing that bothered me with the CNN coverage I watched was some misinformation about who started the Middleton's successful business- it was Carol Middleton, the Mom, not Dad. She utilized the net as a woman with growing children and ended up with a multi-million dollar business. Dad did join in as it grew, but he was not the founder. Probably smart to keep his job until they knew they could support themselves with the party supply business.
