Anyone else catch the vicar cartwheeling down the red carpet in the abbey after the wedding? Hilarious!

[quote=""LoveHistory""]I watched on Yahoo! so I had to put up with Barbara Walters' mispronunciations and way too much talking in general. Why do people feel that every stretch of silence must be interrupted?

I really hate Barbara Walters. She should have retired years ago. She stumbles over her words, when she can figure out which ones to use. She's just a mess.

I do wish we wore more hats. I love them. Granted I might not wear the antlers one, but I do like hats. The last wedding I went to people wore jeans and tank tops. It was a truly horrid display.

The only photo I saw of Chelsea Davy she was hatless, so I can't speak to whether or not she had a monstrosity of one.

Beatrice definitely gets the bad hat and bad makeup awards. The dress color would have been fine if it weren't for the tan.

She's well-known British socialite with substance issues. Goodness knows what she'd been snorting when she ordered the blue crescent :) (And how did she keep it on?!)

I didn't post that :p

I did however think that the all blue was a bit much. A little color flung in there would have been nice.

Sorry, Divia- I see now that it was SM :)

And yes, I love the cartwheeling vicar, who apparently didn't realise the cameras were still rolling. It's a lovely spontaneous expression of relief that everything went so well.

Well, I guess it had to happen-- that hat worn by Princess Beatrice now has its own Facebook page!

Chelsea Davy's hat was nicely understated I think.....as opposed to many others. Some looked like satellite dishes, others looked like boats.

My DH and I were doing our own commentary....
Like THe Dear Queen and Phillip sitting there through the whole ceremony wondering what the devil Beatrice and Eugiene were thinking when they chose their outfits.
