3) When Harry looked backed and caught a glimpse of Kate and whispered to William. That was classic and great!

4) Just the looked of joy on both of their faces! And when Will saw her for the first time, It looked like he was trying to take it all in!

5) Hasn't happened yet, but I'm sure the balcony kiss will be terrific!

I will have to take a short nap afterward before I start my day! LOL

Your favorite moments so far?
I LOVED when Harry looked back & then whispered to William. There was just something so sweet about it.

And then when it was William, Kate, & her dad at the altar.

I'm really glad I was able to see some it. Those boys have held their own under incredible pressure & constant reminders. And Kate looks like she is ready for it all.

edited to add: thought her sister's dress was amazing. Kate obviously looked stunning.

It was nice to be able to watch it, but since I am not English I don't really understand all the hoopla outside England.
Unless one works with history or fashion, this is something pretty much only relevant to the English, right?

Princess Diana was a flawless woman and I was glad to see her son getting married, everything was beautiful, but that is all imo.

I wasn't impressed with Pippa's dress--it was almost too simple. It needed a sash or something. Kate's dress was beautiful. Like all the talking heads have been saying: very Grace Kelly.

Sorry to irritate anyone here but I am glad this stuff is over. The press has been talking about it for along time now. At the moment I'd love to be watching my morning news but the damb wedding coverage is still on.

Anyways, I feel bad for Kate. The media likes to make a star/and or someone popular and then tear a person down. Hopefully, the couple will stay happy and in love. But I think the coverage is just getting started, just wait until she has a baby or until the Queen dies.

Glad there is divo, I can now watch something else.

They put sand on the road to muffle the sound of the horses hoofs.

My question --the announcers refer to the a section of the route as 'The Mall/Mile/or other'? Someone commented --'This is not like a mall in the US'--I suppose they were saying 'mall' --as a boulevard?

William and Catherine just left the palace in an Astin Martin with balloons and Just Wed on the back of the car.

I want to see pictures of the cake and want to know what everyone is wearing tonight.

It was nice to watch, but nothing I would ever want. Such extreme scrutiny & always the talking of Diana. Always. I could never imagine being reminded of my MIL on a regular basis.

One of the reasons William waited for awhile was to make sure they could handle a marriage under a microscope.

It was nice to watch. The media of course killed it weeks ago. But I still enjoyed seeing them & a little bit of it. There can be small elements of fantasy in life.

I got a little choked up when they were saying their vows but that's usual for me at any wedding.

I think my favorite part was when the ring almost didn't go onto Kate's finger, lol. I'm surprised they made the ring so tight - I thought they would have made it loose just for the ceremony and then maybe tighten it later. When William finally got it over her knuckle, my husband and I let out a duel "phew!" Near disaster averted!
There was discussion among the announcers about this--all attendants wearing white. I'm not certain but I thought it was an English tradition---several centuries old? I could be wrong.

It was dove gray. They commented on it on CNN saying it was a good color choice.
