And it was worth the wait…it was the wedding that had 2 BILLION people talking!  As my alarm clock went off at 3:00am I channeled into E! news for the arrival of guests (must see fashion & hats)! I grabbed my dogs, blanket, pillow and Ipad snuggled up on the couch, allowing myself to AHHH with all my Twitter/Facebook peeps.  So why is it that this wedding is so special, you may ask? Well…here are a few of my Royal Wedding favorites!

THE DRESS…OHHHHH THE DRESS! 

The small town bride arrived at Westminster Abbey looking cool- calm, happy and not one bit over-whelmed in a traditional, (50′s inspired) one of a kind, Sarah Burton (creative director of Alexander McQueen) long-sleeve lace, ivory and satin gown with a V neckline and 8-foot-long train, a simple lace-edged veil and a “something borrowed/something old” 1936 tiara sparkling over her half up hairdo.  She accessorized with dangling earrings that was a gift given by her parents.

PIPPA MIDDLETON…

Complimenting her sister, Pippa, displayed her slender figure in a fitted an Alexander McQueen cream capped sleeve gown. The back was topped off with accenting silk buttons (probably took forever to get on)!

THE QUEEN

The Queen who didn’t do much singing, but looked pleasantly happy for her grandson, William.  She wore a detailed beading neckline, yellow dress with an overcoat and hat by Angela Kelly.

THE TIARA…

A Cartier “halo” tiara made in 1936 purchased by the Duke of York for his wife, Elizabeth, was lent to Kate by the Queen. Every girl’s dream….

Oh, she did her own make-up too!

WILLIAM…Dear Price William

Prince William wore his red military uniform…as he smiled awaiting his bride.  As Kate approached William he whispered, “You look so beautiful”…from that moment, I had my first “celebrity” crush.  As he was speaking his vows for all the world to hear you could feel his sincerity and love for her.  You can imagine… I had a box of tissues next to me.

THE EXIT

Who doesn’t want to get carried away in a horse and carriage?!? Yes please…oh by the way could you please block off the roads? I would like to test out my new wave

MUSIC

The music was chilling…drums, stings, horns, choirs (as young as 9 years old).  The Hymns- classic!

LONDON

When do you ever see London like this?! I love the atmosphere and energy here- so many people are happy on this day.  As my friend Brit, Landlocked Bride, would day “LOVE a man in uniform!”

BEST DRESS GUESTS…

Do I need to explain myself? David and Victoria Beckham complimented each other’s style as they arrived side by side.

WORST DRESSED…

Sorry, hate the color, dress, hat & make-up…it just was NOT a winner for either. I just can’t stop laughing when I look at this!

AND THE KISSS! Ohhhh the DOUBLE kiss!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge lived happily ever after!
