The Royal Wedding: Is The Coverage Media Overkill?

Maid of Honor's, that's the second dress I meant. I'm so not up on wedding terminology.

I thought of them as Smurf vs. 18th Century Picture Frame.

I agree about the dress, so much better than Diana's cream puff horror.
Flowers: lily of the valley, sweet william and hyacinth with some greenery.
(edited: oops, missed Soz flower post. Love that little kid)

listening to opie and anthony on audible ripping apart the royal wedding, comedian jim norton just said "the queen is dressed like the guy who owned curious george"

That just shows me that this guy knows too much about Daytime TV to be of any use to me.

i'm guessing he read curious george as a kid by what i know of his age, or if your referring to them commenting on the wedding itself, it was on tv while they were live this morning, i listen later

It ws a book? dayum, I barely could get through reading Dr Seuss to my kids without going all Roger Ebert about it.
I read my kids **** like Treasure Island, and the Voyage of the Beagle.

Mrs F is watching the recap of the game on BBC and I gotta say that Prince Charlie is trully becoming the "Prince of Whales"

I'm watching the thing on the Royal Channel on Youtube

I'm enjoying it, but I can't imagine watching the whole thing - or getting up early to watch any part of it.

Ok, here's the important stuff....what everyone ate afterwards...

Guests at the wedding reception will sip on Pol Roger NV Brut Réserve Champagne and nibble on a selection of canapés, including:


Cornish Crab Salad on Lemon Blini
Pressed Duck Terrine with Fruit Chutney
Roulade of Goats' Cheese with Caramelised Walnuts
Assortment of Palmiers and Cheese Straws

All the ingredients for the more than 10,000 canapés prepared were sourced locally from the United Kingdom and from Royal Warrant holding companies, according to Clarence House.

For a sweet ending, the couple will slice into an eight-tiered traditional fruit cake adorned with 900 iced flowers. The cake was designed by Leicestershire-based baker Fiona Cairns.

Just appetizers? No sit down dinner?

caught the bit on tv were the planes were flying overhead and one of the girls was covering her ears, wonder if this pic was taken just after the flyby

La la la la lLA LA lAlllaaaaaLalallllaaaaaallllalalalalalalalalalalala

I cant hear you.

Prince Charles was supposed to be hosting a formal sit-down dinner for 300 guests at Buckingham Palace this evening, but I don't think they released that menu yet. Then they have dancing, and it turns into a real party. Prince Harry has organized a survivors breakfast for early Saturday morning with bacon butties and coffee being served from 6am.

The Middletons were hosting another event at the Goring Hotel for friends and family of theirs who were among the 650 people invited to the canapé and champagne lunch reception, but were not invited to the dinner hosted by Prince Charles, although Mr. & Mrs. Middleton were going to be at the formal dinner at Buckingham Palace after greeting their guests at the Goring.

So, it sounds like plenty of eating was scheduled for the evening.

This is what the bride wore to the formal dinner.

It was designed by Sarah Burton who did her wedding gown.

I've just made it to the end of the carriage ride back to the palace.

Very sweet watching Harry interact with his three young companions during the ride.

I knew it reminded me of something.

what the hell is a bacon butt? did i ask this once before? The damn thing sounds like a major pork shoulder part

she was doing it when the crowd was chanting for the first and second kiss and during the flypast - she definitely didn't like the noise

the two smallest attendants also covered their ears going into the cathedral when the carillon was ringing

bacon butty - bacon sandwich

The recipe.

This sort of "food" is said to be good for hangovers.
