The real question is why Chelsy Davy looked so busted. I mean, her family's rich, right? She should know by now how to dress for a fancy royal Do. [link]

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That cat looks not nearly as miserable as I would expect at being held half in the water like that.
I completely forgot about the wedding, but the pictures linked here were really enough for me. I imagine there was a lot of compromising on the dress, between what Kate wanted to wear, what Buckingham Palace wanted, and what the designer wanted to show off. The end result is pretty, which is all the opinion I really have.
I liked the dress, which surprised me. It's very classic and classy. Tasteful, but not overly bland. She wore the dress, it did not wear her.
Heh. I love the Fug Girls' caption for this picture of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark:
So, this lady unwittingly caused a change in the Danish constitution to allow women to ascend to the throne (because it became clear her parents weren't going to have any male children), and is also apparently an accomplished painter whose illustrations appeared in the 1977 and 2002 Danish-language printings of Lord of the Rings, she is apparently also a gifted costumer, and she's had both knees replaced. In short, she is badass and when is Helen Mirren going to play her?
I like the wedding dress. It will be hard to copy - cheap lace looks like crap - and doesn't adapt very well for cocktail or prom, which a lot of people have been talking about. Which is to its advantage. Pippa's dress will be copied like mad, I bet, though. It was lovely too, and a little racier. Girls would wear that to prom.
I love the Fug Girls' caption for this picture of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark:
You don't see it there, but her coat was killer.
I also have recently developed a crush on Queen Margrethe of Denmark.
You're quite right, Jesse! Wow, poor Chelsy. Eesh.
I like Pippa's dress, but don't quite understand why she and the little girls were all in white!
I like Mrs. Middleton's outfit.

if it brings backs sleeves, I will be thrilled to pieces!
Hear hear.
Someone explain the wacky hats to me. Is this a tradition, the wearing of ridiculous headgear?
