Royal Wedding - Prince William to Marry Kate Middleton

peter:
non brits need to get a grip.
In a nutshell. Also let me point out theat most English children are not sent to boarding schools.

I still don't quite grasp that enigmatic statement "get a grip," get a grip on what? Americans are called all kinds of things, "dumb" and "stupid" and zenophobic, insulated, provincial are high on the list of speculations about us. We can speculate about other nationalities as well. At least I'm interested, and wondering. Watching cable news like "CNN" etc., you get the impression the newscasters are usually obsessed mainly only with what's happening in the U.S. I'm interested in what's going on in the U.K. and France, especially. I can't help it I've never been able to afford to go over to your countries and check it out personally. Actually I could have afforded to go on one of those package tours before, a few times, but at the time was preoccupied with other things. I can feel myself starting to get a little more fascinated with Prince Wills and Princess Catherine and even kind of feel the urge to get those magazines I saw devoted to her. I hope she doesn't get hounded like Princess Diana was.

there's this filipino lady called lillie piccio who served as a staff to princess diana and nanny to princes william and harry. she was at the wedding. before that she was interviewed by local tv networks in the philippines and she was crying when she told stories about princess diana. she still misses her. she showed some stuff that pricess diana gave her. she said there some sort of "top secrets" secrets that diana told her but piccio said she will bring 'em to her grave. she will not talk about it o the public.

So Paul didn't make the invite list. Wow!! That must of hurt!
Well, he seems to have recovered from not being invited to any other royal wedding, so he will probably get over it.
OMG!! Di snubbed him too? Sweet little passive aggressive Di. What up with that shit!! Don't they know who the real royalty is in England How quick hey forget all that tax money Paul paid them. So it was the social event of all social events. The British Crem Da La Crem. Elton John wig and all even made the list. (were they auditioning for March of the penguin 2) Didn't his butler put him in front of a mirror. He look like a bowling pin, waddling around in a penguin costume but even that 2 ring circus makes it but no Paul. Do you think he went down there and hung around? I see Barbra Walters took a gig so she could pretend she was working that day. The next time the Queen speaks Paul needs to through a free concert. See who drags in a bigger crowd.

That James brother did look like he'd wondered off the set of HBO's Spartacus or Rome. No reason to invite Macca; Elt of course knew Di and did Candle in the Wind at her funeral, perhaps the memories were the reason he looked a bit choked in the Abbey.
-
I enjoyed watching the Royal Wedding , i thought Kate looked beautiful in her dress and the sister looked great too I thought the trees in the Abbey were magical , i can see that trend catching on . I'm the same age as the late Princess Diana so it was strange watching this wedding 30 years after Diana and Charles , made me wonder were the time had gone . I wasn't surprised that Paul wasn't a guest , he seems more of a favourite of the Queen

My mother said Kate's brother gave a long reading and sounded like he was a preacher or ordained minister. What was it about?
James Middleton read the lesson. The passage selected was Romans 12: 1, 2, 9 - 18 I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God?what is good and acceptable and perfect. 9Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; 10love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. 11Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. 13Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. 14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are. 17Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. 18If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. It's a very apposite passage from the Bible. Clearly the couple were well guided in it's selection, possibly by the Archbishop of Canterbury himself who actual married the couple - they had met several times before the ceremony to reflect on their decision and discuss the practicalities. James was clearly invited to read the passage because he has a decent voice and delivery. The reading is often made by a family member it doesn't suggest he has religeous leanings. The Telegraph newpaper has a lengthy overview of him and his business enterprises: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/royal-wedding/kate-middleton/8474786/Royal-wedding-the-very-ambitious-Mr-Middleton.html Besides acting as Best Man, companion and ring bearer Prince Harry had no speaking role at the ceremony. He is reported to have made the traditional Best Man speech at the evening function and whilst it's been reported as humorous and ribald the text has not been leaked anywhere. The full order of service can be viewed here: http://ph1.cerosmedia.com/1B4db9637e64402583.cde That's a pdf file and will oepn so long as you have Adobe Reader installed on your PC. There were songs before and after the vows plus several other choral and orchestral pieces while the register was signed and as they processed the length of the Abbey. Martin
so that why it lookied like it was directed at the Queen.. I guess the coal minor's daughter didn't go down well.

The traditional horse & carriage procession is always lovely. But sorry to say the Queen could be a bit more stylish in her manner of dress. She seems to always wear dowdy & matronly clothing.

It`s not a snub. Paul has no connection with the royals. I pay tax too, and they didn`t invite me!

I think I notice it more!
-
I doubt if Paul paid much mind. He said that Princess Diana was like his daughter.

Barb I love the Prince Harry action above! He is so cute! Have I said that before?

I know I'm sure inviting Paul wasn't even discussed. They had a lot of people to please and in the end it was their day and I think they tried to keep it that way. England should be happy with there future kings choice. She seems smart and a class act all the way. Let hope the fame doesn't change her like it did Williams mom. I personally think that kind of fame is a burden. At least Paul can be himself. They can't work or do anything without being criticized. The good news is Williams is his own man and clearly will protect her.

Went grocery shopping this morning & there was a special rack set up in the front with a ton of different souvenir mags all with Wills & Kate on the covers.
-
I saw a mag devoted solely to Wills as a baby and child and his mother, Diana! I'm starting to feel a desire to buy a lot of these mags...have already bought two (LOL)
-
Clarence House - where the formal offices of Prince William are - have confirmed the couple are now officially off on honeymoon: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13345027 Let the international press pack start their game of "Where's Wills?" Clarence House are not going to tell.... Martin
