Trying to go back to my initial feelings on this occasion.
The amount of royals present was great. It's always great to see the tiaras and swords out and about, reminds me of why royals are not celebs.
The dress. When she was walking down the aisle, that was a great vision...very statuesque.
Stephanie and Caroline were really touched when Albert arrived. To get marry without the presence of both, your mom and dad, must be hard, and I'm sure they thought of them during the ceremony.
Andrea Bocelli's Ave Maria was superb. I felt like standing up and clapping after he finished. ;P
When people say there were some lack of class, I have to admit in some parts there was , but that had to do a lot with some guests and not the direct party. For example , there were some, inside the Palace taking pictures with their Iphone and cameras. I cringed when I saw that. Some ladies didn't remember they were in a catholic wedding, and their attire didn't take that into account. But let's move on from the tight dresses and even tighter faces.
Charlene and Albert were very concentrated (we now wonder 'why'), but I wouldn't think they would act much differently anyways.
I'm all for subdue intimacy. And If you are not, you should move to another royal house, love!
Also, sorry but the 'they were not selling us an image' with 1254 interviews you bet your fanny they were selling one. But to buy it is up to you.
To end in a happy note, Charlene, dear! just in case you are a member of TRF and is reading this
: all that was expected from YOUR PART was surpassed, you looked beautiful. Too bad others couldn't follow your league (That goes to your now husband)
