Link Love

So I'm guessing there will be a lot of rather tired people this morning... whether staying up late to catch the most famous nuptials of our time or getting up at a ridiculously early hour to get a glimpse of the now infamous 'double kiss'. We were quite lucky with the timing here in New Zealand... 10pm on a Friday night is a lot more civilised than some of the hours I saw my fellow bloggers tweeting up a storm about it.
Now I have to admit I wasn't big on a whole build up to the royal wedding, I didn't know a whole lot about it, didn't do any posts about it, and wasn't giddy with excitement about it, but I was always going to watch out of curiosity to see what Kate was wearing. But once I sat down to it... (cozied up with the girls on the bed whilst the boys watched various balls being thrown around a field/court) I was surprised by just how exciting it was to witness and at the end of the day who doesn't love a good love story. The whole pomp and ceremony of the occasion is something we'll never see anywhere else, and the history of it all is so unique. I loved seeing the boys in their uniforms, and of course Westminster Abbey is so resplendent in all it's glory. It seriously gave me a case of feeling homesick for London that's for sure!!
So whilst I'm not usually one to analyse these things too much I'll give you my quick rundown... I thought Kate looked exquisite, loved the lace on her dress, and the v-neck line. And I also suprisingly did love the tiara with the veil... not usually a tiara girl, but firstly I don't think she could have got away with not wearing one, and secondly loved the way it worked with that veil... which was stunning by the way! I thought Pippa's dress was a step up from the usual royal bridesmaids... loved the style, it was a far more risque and sexy look than I think most anticipated (I won't even go near what the boys said about her!!) and I can see that's going to be copied a lot in the coming years. I was however disappointed in the flower girls... you could have been looking back 30 years to Princess Di's wedding, they just looked way too traditional for my personal liking. I would have liked to see something a little more modern, perhaps with a touch of colour. There were also some very questionable outfits from other members of the royal family (Eugenie anyone?) Anyhoo that's my 2 cents worth... what were your thoughts?
