Well, Good People, if I may say so, you have gotten it slightly wrong. Mary, et al lovely, nice, etc. etc. Well, perhaps. DROP DEAD GEORGEOUS would be more like it. The aquamarine choker is fine. And you neglected to mention that CP Frederik is a splendid fellow himself. Would it be an exaggeration to call him handsome???? Of course if I were in his shoes I would be grinning from ear to ear myself. I loved seeing QMII wearing her wreath tiara. The rest of it was a delight. Elegant, colorful, dignified and exciting. I am grateful to all of you who have made the photos and information, including the speech awailable to the rest of us. Cheers. Thomas Parkman
