Did they raise their swords and the arch thing? I like it when they do that. They look a bit far apart though.

[beli]

Ahhhhh, yes, tis Soph. Ummmmm, her hat is, ummmmm,........... I wonder where baby Louise is?

The seat fabric in the royal bus is the same as the seat fabric in our public buses here. lol.

Imported from Sweden, you know.

 

[beli]

I hope the official photographer obtained a nice lined up shot of this. Good arch

Kelly, Zara spends a lot of time in Australia. She used to have a boyfriend over here. She is cool. Zara goes to the beach a lot and isn't afraid of getting grubby. She seems really down to earth. Bit like her Mum

Sarah Bums, err, Buys frock from the front. Not too bad from the front. (except for the shoes)

Grace Beesley and Fraser Moors are next to married following the marriage between the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker-Bowles at the Guildhall in Windsor, England, Saturday, April 9, 2005. Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles married Saturday at the 17th century Guildhall in the royal town of Windsor.



I don't like the fluffy bits and the colour is too harsh for her.

 

[beli]

Camillas sis Annabel. This is a bit like what I was expecting Camilla to wear, only in cream.

 

[beli]

Charles didn't recieve a ring. Why am I shocked? The royal males never do but for some reason I thought he would.

For the civil ceremony Mrs Parker Bowles wore an oyster silk coat with herringbone stitch embroidery and a chiffon dress, both designed by Robinson Valentine. Her hat was designed by Philip Treacy and was made from natural straw, overlaid with ivory French lace and trimmed with feathers.

Following the ceremony, The Prince of Wales and the new Duchess of Cornwall drove to St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle for a service of prayer and dedication.

The Duchess of Cornwall had changed into a porcelain blue silk dress which was hand embroidered with gold thread work. The design of the dress was inspired by a piece of jewellery owned by the Duchess's late mother. Again, the dress was designed by Robinson Valentine and a feather head dress desiogned by Philip Treacy.

Decorated with roses, thistles and daffodils, the single-layered, 24-inch organic fruit cake had detailed lattice work, with a small initial `C' in the lattice.

Fruitcake uke: They should have had a Boston mudcake.

The official wedding poem by the poet laureate, Andrew Motion:

"Spring Wedding"

I took your news outdoors, and strolled a while

In silence on my square of garden-ground

Where I could dim the roar of arguments,

Ignore the scandal-flywheel whirring round,

And hear instead the green fuse in the flower

Ignite, the breeze stretch out a shadow-hand

To ruffle blossom on its sticking points,

The blackbirds sing, and singing take their stand.

I took your news outdoors, and found the Spring

Had honored all its promises to start

Disclosing how the principles of earth

Can make a common purpose with the heart.

The heart which slips and sidles like a stream

Weighed down by winter-wreckage near its source -



But given time, and come the clearing rain,

Breaks loose to revel in its proper course.

After the service, a smiling streaker dashed across the road.

Kelly, do you have a piccie to share?

 

[beau2ifulday]

Well, at least Mr. Bean is there!

Stephen Fry and Joanna Lumley also attended - some other celebrities too, I forget who.

 

[beli]

Guests from the world of show business included comics Stephen Fry and Rowan Atkinson, and actors Joanna Lumley, Richard E Grant, Kenneth Branagh, Prunella Scales and her husband Timothy West.

Other celebrities invited to the occasion included musicians Phil Collins and Sting, and novelist Jilly Cooper.

I think Elton John was there too,

And Jools Holland

(Actually I think that quotes wrong. Sting was invited but didnt attend. He sent his wife instead)

You must be on cloud 9 with this wedding.

Until the next one.

I caught some of it this morning. I actually liked the church outfit, it looked much better on TV than it photographs. I didn't like the hat. I just wish they had gotten married all those years ago and saved so much grief.

Does anyone have a Trudie Styler pic?

It's wrong for me to even say but I think Prince Harry is hotter than Prince William.

I like weddings. Lots of frocks and smiles. Gotta cherish the happy moments

 

[beli]

I think Harry is better looking than William. He seems comfortable in his own skin

Dunno how bright either of them are but were just talking about the spunk factor, right?

 

[beli]

Thats how I feel too. And I wish Andrew had of married Koo Stark. etc. I think the Queen should let them marry whomever they want rather than "acceptable" partners whom they end up divorcing.

PS I'll keep a look out for Trudi Syler. Im trying to find Jools Holland at the mo.

 

[beli]

Tara Palmer Tomkinson looking gorgeous. Ditch the gloves but otherwise fab.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I love the shoes.

 

[beli]

Stephen Fry, who almost looks like hes wearing a pair of winklepickers

 

[beli]

Random fugliness.


Taras shoes are fab, I agree. I really like her dress as well. Her outfit is my favourite of the guests so far. Tara and Zara

 

[beli]

Jools Holland

Prince and Princess Michael of Kent lookinh pretty dapper, except for the open heel shoes.
