I love the Royal family and I think Prince Charles is one of the greatest men on the planet for his efforts to inform all about the importance of doing the right things for our planet as well as his efforts to put action behind his words for such good causes.
So, I like his son's choice in Kate who was bullied as I often feel such from various entities, etc. I expect Kate and Prince William to do many good things for all.

I found myself getting teary eyed at the sight of something I have never seen before but instantly loved more than any thing I have seen in a long time. That royal blue Aston Martin Volante that must have been specially built for Prince Charles I imagine in late '60's? I am still trying to find info on it. When I saw it being followed by the security Rover I was wondering who is so very smart to bring that incredible looking car and they must have a high rank to be allowed to bring what they really want over all the fashionable monstrosities that are apparently givin very high ceilings to accomodate hats. I kept wondering what it was as I could see it was very special in design indicating a super high performance vehicle. I was surprised I did not guess the make and model before Matt announced it with watering eyes. I was a bit surprised and knew I shouldn't be that Prince William was driving it. He has excellent taste! He takes after his father :) Now I must hide and cry alone :tears:

I'll admit that I too watched portions of the wedding with my 4 year old daughter. She is into Princesses (Disney got a few of my bux in the past..) and when she found out that a REAL Princess was marrying, she wanted to watch. She was thrown off by the accents, and soon wanted to watch her Nick Jr. instead of the wedding.

I was watching to see if the anarchists were gonna cause the trouble they promised - seems Scotland Yard arrested the lead instigator yesterday, just to hold him for 24hrs - and have a peaceful wedding celebration. Good thinking!

I've been to Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, in '87, '88, and 2003, but never with that kind of crowd. Only crowd I saw in 2003 was protesting Tony Blair and the Iraq war.

Cheers,
