In my opinion, strapless wedding gowns should be banned. That goes for the bridesmaids, too.
Wow, that gets the hair on the back of my neck to stand up. Great stuff.
I like the simply elegant look, and think it suits her well.
Very well said.
I agree!!!!!
Catherine Middleton’s Tiara and Earrings: All the Details
http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222_20485867,00.html
Middleton’s cascading curls were topped off by a 1936 Cartier halo tiara lent to her by Queen Elizabeth. The tiara, which was purchased by King George VI for the Queen Mother, was presented to the Queen on her 18th birthday, the Palace confirms.
The newlywed’s look was styled by James Pryce and Richard Ward, who tell PEOPLE they’re “extremely honored and privileged to be involved with creating Catherine’s wedding look.”
With her hair swept behind her ears, Middleton wore leaf-shaped diamond earrings by Robinson Pelham, which were made to match her tiara. They also featured a diamond set drop and pavé set diamond suspended in the center.
The earrings were a gift by her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.
Sister – and maid of honor – Pippa Middleton wore a similar pair of diamond earrings, also designed by Robinson Pelham.
Especially the fat Americans who were them.
I am watching the whole thing over again. I really need to do some house work.
Straight out of Alice in Wonderlands Queens court! Ridiculous hats....the mad hatter looked better than these.
“In my opinion, strapless wedding gowns should be banned. That goes for the bridesmaids, too”
I agree! And I’m wearing a strapless one in my sisters wedding in July.......NOT looking forward to it..
That was an incredibly beautiful flight..brings tears to my eyes.
Went to school with the Prince of Wales. Met him again in the Navy. Became a friend.
Well, I am impressed. Very cool.
I can’t believe that CNN hired Morgan. He left the UK in disgrace having been a part of faking photos of UK “atrocities” in Iraq.
The guy should hang in the Tower of London, not work in America.
Not your fault.
With normal viewing, unless there's a printed cation saying it's Copyrighted, it's impossible to know.
The one 'bad thing' about Digital Photography is the way it buries important data in the image file and 'Photo novices' don't know about it or how to find it. Most times it's the cool stuff that shows (for Photo Buffs anyway) like Camera Make and model, Lens used, if the Flash fired, and all the exposure data.
{then we'll run to the Photo Store (or website) and say, 'I WANT "THAT"' ;-)]
I still see the Spencer in him .. especially Diana’s brother.
Males might thing differently ;)
Besides Kate is married now :P
