I think Kate is a beautiful girl but I am always stunned by people's comments that Pippa is the better looking of the two. Pippa is more cute than beautiful, but the dress she wore at the wedding was gorgeous. I liked both of Kate's gowns, I'd accept both of them graciously if she offered.
I prefer Pippa's wedding gown to her evening gown; and I think Beatrice and Eugenie are growing to be beautiful women.

I thought it was embarrasing that foreign Royals were given some canapes and champagne and then more or less told to beat it at 4.00pm. Whenever the Europeans have a wedding their guests are always treated much better than that enjoying dinner and dancing into the night. I also thought ferrying them to the church in mini buses wasn't exactly classy either. It mystifies me when I hear people saying that Britain does these kinds of events better than anyone else. It dosn't anymore, if you really want to see a spectacle you can't beat the European Royal Families.

I was embarrassed for them as well...if they could pay all that $$ to lug TREES into Westminster Abbey, couldn't they have used the money to properly transport their Royal guests instead??
I am certain everyone was very gracious about it(except the Prince of Wales who straight up REFUSED to travel that way and I can't say I blame him!)
And why were poor Beatrice and Eugenie not allowed to bring dates, and forced to dance alone...while several other guests (cough* PIPPA! cough) were escorted??
The ceremony itself was beautiful, and the bride was a dream. But I would not say that overall it was one of the more impressive Royal weddings of the last decade or so.
I think we have to look at it from the foreign royals guests' point of view. You get an invitation to a wedding and see that you are invited to the ceremony and afterwards to a lunch-time buffet. You are advised on modes of transport etc and being royal you simply accept the situation graciously and enjoy the day. It's not a big deal if you are a royal because a wedding is just as much an official engagement representing your country as it is a wedding. Being royal, you don't complain about not being invited to the evening event and if you were really bothered about arriving by rolls-royce, you get your palace staff to make the necessary arrangements.
Although we shouldn't compare one wedding against another, I have to say that I thought Victoria and Daniel's wedding was the best one especially in terms of the reception. Drinks on the sunny palace terrace waiting for the couple to arrive by barge, then dinner, dancing and cake! I'd have loved it!!
Hi~
