Most people think that wearing white to a second wedding is inappropriate. Like Camila, a lot of second time brides opt for ivory or a soft color.

I thought she looked wonderful! Both her dresses suited the occasion perfectly. I hope Charles and Camilla do get their own happily ever after ending, they truly deserve it despite all the mistakes they have made in the past. It's a new beginning for them and as oneof the commentators said, a real closure to a very painful period of the couple and of the the monarchy. :)

she couldnt wear white because it wasn't a proper wedding and because of her age and past divorce.

Tiaraprin, perhaps you could express those emotions on one of the threads on the British board and let the people who want to talk about the wedding, rather than the emotional baggage of the last couple of decades, do so here.

Elspeth, it is quite impossible to just "gloss over" this emotional baggage you speak of. I was responding to the idea that this is a wedding for the common man and shared my thoughts. Not every person is going to like this, and then there are people who think Charles and Camilla are just great. There is a great schism amongst royal watchers that will not heal with the snap of the fingers. All of us have the right to express our views in an appropriate manner.
 
Did you notice how Charles helped her during the wedding? He was always helpful on where to put her flowers, or even helped her to find the right page in this book in church.

What do you think about the Queen and Charles' sons?
William and Harry looked very relaxed. But Queen left immediately after the church cerimony.

I understand the second dress was designed by Valentino.
Do you know who signed the civil wedding one?
 
The Queen in White

Anyone find it interesting that the Queen wore white and the bride didn't?? It was if Her Majesty was making a statement with her choice of color. She does not wear white often, and how ironic to wear it to her son's wedding.

Who is this lady in short skirt, that gets into the bus?:eek:
Sarah Buys, Tom Parker-Bowles' fiancee. Did you notice her shoes?...

Both dresses were designed by British designer Robert St. Valentine.

I guess the Queen was wearing light yellow... or so it seemed on my t.v.

During commentary on CNN here in the USA, they said the dress Camilla wore to the civil ceremony was quite close in color to Her Majesty's. It looks white on my TV.

The second to last photo in the post above is beautiful!!

Camilla looked lovely today, her dresses (especially the last one) were exquisite. Charles, as always, looked extremely debonair-- and VERY happy!!
 
I thought Camilla looked really wonderfull in the second outfit, I've never seen her so elegant.

It was a beautiful service.

I wish them both all the best of luck.
 
I agree...I was a bit taken aback when I saw her in the white dress....I'm not much of a Camilla fan but I did love the color and the style of the second dress...It was beautiful.

May I ask who the woman in the black and white poka dotted top and white skirt is...with the pink shoes????...an awful looking outfit...especially for someone who looks as if they could wear something more attractive.
 
May I get the list of those royals who attend the civil wedding ceremony processing the church blessing?

Thanks
 
Was the Duke of Edinburgh there? I didn't see him after the service.

OMG, thank you for answering my question I posted after...I think that outfit was absolutely horrid....and inappropriate to the wedding of her future in-laws...makes me wonder what kind of get-up she will be wearing for her own wedding, or perhaps she wanted to make sure she was in all the papers and mags with that awful choice of outfit and those shoes! OMGoodness!
