my favourite bits of the royal day

I can't help being British at heart.  The wedding has left me with a pleasant sort of fuzzy feeling inside.   If I had to pick out three highlights of what was a very beautiful day and a seamless show, it would have to be the:

oak trees inside the abbey - BRILLIANT!



the drive in the eco-friendly Aston Martin



and DEFINITELY the church dean's cartwheels down the aisle of the Abbey!!  LOVE IT!!

  4. Oh yes, it was all fabulous but I did love those trees in particular. They gave a real sense of the vastness of the Abbey. It was all so beautiful!

  7. Well picked Sharon, I especially loved the trees. Such a fresh and simple way of brightening up the space and bringing the outside in. I always like the idea of using live plants rather than making huge arrangements out of dead flowers. All in all, it was a surprisingly fresh wedding between two young people who seem very much in love.

  10. I agree it was a lovely day. I laughed when I saw that priest doing cartwheels on the news. I couldn't believe how composed Kate and William seemed.

  14. It was beautiful! I did get my own invitation to the royal wedding - I arrived at my 92-year-old neighbor Ethel's at 4:00 a.m.!

    I would have done cartwheels after all that, too.
