I enjoyed the ceremony, and while I did blink a few times at some of the hats, nothing I saw made me turn off the tube. I loved Kate's dress, and her sister's dress, and while I certainly could never wear yellow, figured there was a reason for the Queen selecting that color. Even seeing old perverted Elton John in the Abbey did not make me think anything negatively about the ceremony. I thought it was done beautifully and not much of Prince Charles's earth worship invaded the service. IT was the couples day and they did not embarrass themselves and I hold NO ill will for them on their day.
The one striking thing I observed was how in tuned Kate was to the saluting by Prince William (sorry I do not recall his new title) to the various military (if that is the correct term) as the couple rode to the Palace. She was as precise in her head going slightly down as the Prince was in giving his salute... I thought she was awesome.
Because the bride's mother gets first dibs on what color she is going to wear, which in this instance was pale blue, Queen Elizabeth II had to pick a different color. She usually wears blue to weddings.
Prince William is now also the Duke of Cambridge and two other new titles.
