If you weren’t one of the estimated 2 BILLION people around the world to watch the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton this morning, I have included the full video below.
Quite the spectacle, no?
Only the British can do it so well—centuries of tradition, experience and pomp. Yes, the entire affair was dripping with pomp. The bride was nothing short of stunning—and although the groom looked like a Nutcracker, they did make a beautiful couple.
Many were worried that someone would shout out at the lone opportunity to do so—you know, the whole “if any man knows why this union should not take place, speak now or forever hold your peace” part. Luckily, no one did, but really, is that necessary?
Another line I’d remove from the royal vows would be the “for richer or POORER” Are you SERIOUS? Here’s a newlywed couple that won’t be putting that new washing machine on layaway. When the wedding reception occurs at Buckingham Palace (as opposed to the local VFW Hall), there’s a good chance that these two won’t be clipping coupons anytime soon.
Anyway, I am most relieved that this royal wedding day was not marred by some sort of terrorist attack, as I feared it might be. Even the usual dreary London weather cooperated, providing a day fit for a queen—or a Prince and Princess.
Here’s the Royal Nuptials:

Unlike Diana so many years before, this bride Kate Middleton seems totally up to the task of her new station and duties in life.
We wish them well! Jolly good!
