HORSEYS!

Intellectually, I am all over the Republican side of things, but when it boils down to it, most politicians end up being twats or numpties, and despite the many shortcomings of the Monarchy, they really do cavalry tremendously well! I find I have confidence in a head of government backed up by swords on horseback.

That was a very satisfying wedding. Everyone looked terrific, or terrifically silly (which is just as good), the bride was the prettiest, no one else was dressed exactly like the Queen, and all the readings and lessons were generous and appropriate.

And I bet Harry volunteered to be in the kids' coach so he could encourage vigorous waving and giggling.

I liked the frock.

The guardsman riding to the left hand side of the coach was having real trouble with that animal with the big blaze...

That was definitely worth getting up at 3:30 am! And, I LOVED Harry in the kid's coach. :) Now, back to reality and work...

I wonder if Harry passed around sweets to get them sugared up for the wedding photos?

I think maybe I just don't get the Royal Wedding thing. (Which isn't a comment on monarchy, most weddings are boring.) But by all accounts Harry is freaking adorable. What the hell? And I also find I have confidence in people backed up by swords on horseback.

It was all very speccy, and the sun had wonderfully stage-managed timing. But WTF was Eugenie wearing on her head?

A very good argument for Oliver Cromwell.

*Cough* Point of order. The Queen of Australia is head of state, but not head of government.

... oh, don't give me that look. It's midnight and I'm feeling pedantic. :P

Lovely wedding. Absolutely wonderful dress (the veil was <3). The address of the Bishop of London was one of the best wedding speeches I've heard. The best, I reckon. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge look very satisfied and obviously fit each other very well. Awesome through and through, this wedding thing.

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Loved the dress, the bride was stunningly gorgeous, Abbey looked great with the trees in, Harry and Wills SO adorable together I almost DIED (apparently a lipreader was commenting earlier online and said Harry kept asking Wills if he was okay - AWWWW), loved the kiss, Kate beaming in the carriage and on the balconey, and everyone in their finery. Fantastic hats (except the one reindeer one - Eugenie or Beatrice? I get them mixed up). I was very glad to be in London for all the festivities and enjoying the still-partying atmosphere here today!

A closet monarchist masqued as republican! Am delighted I found you over at lil_shepherds where I am already being too loud and now I´d like to friend you, if you don´t mind too awfully. If you do, no need to feel obliged to explain, no answer is as good as any in that and many a case. This, I say to myself daily but it often doesn´t work.

I really miss monarchy here in France, it´s so boring without just because of that head razor they prefer unless you can prove having done the deed in a blood rush out of sheer passion, because passion is pardoned. As is cannibalism in that Paris church. Oh, drifting. This is the kind of thing you get if you friend me back! Just saying and thanks for letting me.
