Had the most bizarre dream last night. I'd watched Patsy Palmer on Piers Morgan, and in my dream her having 2 premature babies translated into Kate giving birth the night before the wedding - to a 2-months premature baby, without knowing she was pregnant. And still going ahead with the wedding. Thank god it was back to reality this morning.
An abbey full of hats! Millinery masterpieces. Although SamCam chose not to wear one, and had brooches in her hair instead. Her choice of turquoisey outfit looked excellent against the carpet. Elton John didn't do much full-gusto singing did he; he was more of a mumbler. Maybe he didn't want to upstage... And all those royals. Can't believe there are so many. The royals arriving by minibus - wtf - but at least they were economising. William in full regalia, with white gloves 'n' everything. And at last we found out Kate was wearing Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen and looked fabulous. Not a meringue in sight. Though the poor girl had to haul the weight of that train the full length of the Abbey all by herself...
And when the British dress up, they Really Dress Up....
....ignore that half-painted lounge wall. Still deciding whether to revert to the dark or plough on with the lighter grey.
And we made a pudding for the occasion. Of the wedding, not the decorating. A jelly made the night before.....
And then the 12 year old was impatient to get going with the meringues, cream and trifle sponges
(which are better crispy than soggy so went on top)
Hope you have all had a wonderful royal day!
