I half thought about getting up really early to watch the royal wedding. Then I remembered I have this terrible cold and realized that I need my sleep. Did you watch the wedding between William and Kate? 

 

If you watched it live, tell me about your first impressions. How did Kate's dress compare to Diana's? Did you see the kiss? How were the crowds?

 

If you watched the news footage, what parts were you interested in? 

 

If you didn't watch it, why didn't you? Is your excuse better than mine?

  • Hello Tara, I hope you get well soon... abou the wedding, I totally agree with Alena, and with all due respect this kind of events don´t deserve my atention.

    For example, the last week we were celebrating the earth´s day (even our friend Robert created a blog http://my.englishclub.com/forum/topics/what-would-you-do-to-help), and I´m surprised because only five members have commented in this important topic.

    Have a good day.

     

     

    • Thank you so much for writing this! I missed that blog post and just left my response. You are right. The environment is so much more important and interesting!
  • I was unable to watch it live Tara I was more on EC, and  then I realized through the chat room about  the telecast :)

    Saw the recorded version.I prefer Princess Catherines dress , as it has the old English charm and simplicity.

    • Very interesting observation! Thanks so much for the comparison.
  • Unfortunately, I am not a fan of royal families.  When stories of Princess Diana stopped, my interest about anything that concerns royalty died along with her.  So I really have no excuse Tara because that was intentional.  I intentionally did not watch it because they would only appear too good to be true for me.  I would rather be content of watching royalty-like stories in films only.  

     

    They simply live in a different world....far different from the world of ordinary people like me.

    • Excellent response! Love this. :)
  • @Alena You don't have to apologize! That is an excellent reason not to support the wedding. I fully agree with you that the money could be better spent in times like these. 

     

    I enjoyed all of your comments. I agree about the dress. I was surprised how plain and simple it was compared to Princess Diana's. She looked beautiful, but my daughter was hoping for a bigger tiara. 

     

    Thanks for all your kind get-well wishes!

  • Hello Tara! I`m sorry that you didn`t watched the whole wedding event. Hope you are well now.

    I had watched the whole coverage of the royal wedding. I`m a big fan of the royal couple so I have to see what will their wedding must be like. When the event started I was very excited that I shuddered and shouted out loud.

     My first impression when I watched it was "wow! this is like a Disney movie wedding, like those of Cinderella and Snow White." During their wedding vows, Prince William was lovingly looking in the eyes of Kate while saying his wedding vow while Kate was nervously smiling as she looked to William`s eyes. They were both glowing with health. Kate`s gown was simple, very-classic and  elegant. She was stunningly beautiful in that wedding gown. The guest who are invited to witness the wedding are also beautiful in their headdresses. 

    When they got out of the church, whopping crowds were shouting to them. The crowds were rejoicing when they saw the couple. I saw the kiss of the royal couple. They both blushed when they kissed while the crowds shouting for another kiss. They kissed twice.
