Well I caught the tail end of the proceedings

[malaise]

Say one thing for the Brits - very classy ceremony and lovely appropriate clothes.

Now can we get on with reality.

1. Oh that uniform was hideous.

That blue sash was fucking ugly. Seriously, it should have been black. Those people don't know how to design a uniform if their lives depended upon it. Her dress was nice though.

I wonder how many people could have been fed with the money that was spent on this wedding?

They used to have free university, now they have to pay for it. I wonder how many college educations could have been paid for with the money spent on this ceremony.

2. "Meeeow" - Red Queen

4. It is altogether fitting and proper that I enjoy red...

and I'm a queen.

:P

3. Personally I think the idea of this circus in the middle of

layoffs and suffering is beyond vulgar, but it's thoroughly British - very classy and the ladies' clothes are beautiful as is the music.

I barely noticed what he's wearing - it's so Commonwealth :rofl:

5. The throngs outside seem pretty joyful!

7. That never fails to amazes me

Maybe we should ban Cinderella :evilgrin:

6. The sash is for the Order of the Garter. It's blue. It's always been blue.

And the uniform is the dress tunic of the Irish Guards regiment (of which he's honorary colonel). Different regiments in the British Army have different full dress uniforms; it's not standardised the way it is in the US Army (partly because the British regiments have traditions as individual units that stretch back centuries).

8. I don't actually give a flying fuck.

But thank you anyway.

9. Then don't bitch about it.

Saying something kind of indicates you care; if you're going to say something ignorant you should be prepared to be corrected. Also try learning some manners.

10. Actually, I kid.

I actually care so much, I bowed at my TV every time I saw the Queen on. It's like a drinking game.

11. LOL

Seriously what would make people sleep in the streets to ensure a good view of a married couple.
