Wedding of Royal Proportions

Many people share a strange fascination with the Royals or maybe you watched because it was an event televised around the world. We are all a bit voyeuristic at times, and I mean, this is a real life fairytale unfolding before us all. You know that someplace deep down inside, part of you wishes that you could be part of that world, even for just a day. Additionally, in my situation, I am just a sucker for weddings!

This event was full of pomp and pageantry, but at the same time, beyond what you would traditionally expect from the Royals, there was nothing excessive. I must give praise to Kate for making excellent decisions on all of the details, she really focused on everything having meaning and symbolism.

The cake was full of symbolic representations, but above all, it was a true masterpiece:

I think she has truly grown into the ideal Princess, well technically Duchess of Cambridge. She has taken on a lot of the characteristics necessary to execute her new role. I look forward to see what she will do in the future and of course, what she will wear!

Ok so let's talk fashion:

Obviously the dress was perfection. The optimal combination of classic and contemporary, it was elegant and slightly understated, sheer perfection. Fit for a princess indeed, kudos to Sarah Burton for the design. Personally I would have liked it if her hair was styled up, but hair down suited her just as well.

I like that Will and Kate updated tradition and had a maid of honour and best man. Pippa looked fabulous and what a slammin body, absolutely stunning. Harry looked dashing, but who doesn't love a man in uniform.

Many of the ladies in attendance were rockin Philip Treacy head pieces, more appropriately "fascinators". Beatrice and Eugenie looked a bit like the ugly step sisters, poor girls. The most stunning piece for me was Zara Phillips, what a work of art:

My only complaint - didn't anyone tell the priest he was going to be seen by many, and should maybe consider checking in with the barber this week? Oh and maybe a little less of the dreadful singing.

What a delightful day in the UK. I truly hope these two find true happiness, it is not an easy life as a Royal, but maybe they can bring a renewed sense of optimism and respect for the Monarchy. Their relationship is evidently different than many of other previous Royals, and there is a very important lesson to be learned here - your dream of being a princess can come true!!!
