"I will"

So did any of you watch the Royal Wedding today then? I didn't exactly go to the extremes of getting up at goodness knows what time it started, but i watched from when Prince William and Harry arrived at the Westminster Abbey till the memorable wedding kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
I haven't really been a fan of the royal family but watching that makes me feel proud to be British, no matter what is happening in this country at the moment, and for people to have street parties or just celebrate this memorable time with family and friends is just wonderful to see as it doesn't happen very often.
As most people I talked to about it where most curious about Kate Middleton's wedding dress, when Kate stepped out of her car in the dress, I thought it was absolutely beautiful.
The dress was created by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen and was made of ivory and white satin gazer with an over 2 metre train. Sarah Burton incorporated the four florals of the United Kingdom into the lace design as well.
The dress seemed more traditional than modern, but the lovely detail on the bottom of the dress and on the train, and the lace sleeves and torso gave it that unique side that it didn't need to stand out to be recognised. With the small waist and slightly "puffy out" skirt part to the dress, it created a beautiful silhouette and complimented Kate's tiny frame, and the neckline was flattering. Although I have never been a fan of sleeves on wedding dresses, I love this.
Another dress that caught the audiences eyes was Kate Middleton's sister's, Pippa, maid of honor dress.
Also made by Sarah Burton, Pippa wore a full length ivory gown, although very simple, it too complimented her figure and with the detail on the rim of the sleeves and neckline made it that slight bit different.
So did any of you lovelies watch the royal wedding then? If so, did you celebrate it? What did you think of it? And give your opinions on what will become a timeless, memorable wedding dress.

P.s. If you disagree with the royal wedding, you can make your point, but no need to go all serious on our arses and don't swear, it's rude.
