| Kate and William; holding England's future in their hands |
I was up all night watching the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. They make a wonderful couple. It was truly an historical night to remember. And to think I hadn't given it a thought until the moment arrived and I couldn't resist the electricity emanating from the television set. The couple are now officially the newly ennobled Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

| the first then second kiss from the balcony |
Vows were exchanged and the wedding dress was revealed, but royal watchers around the world were still waiting for that magical moment – when Prince William and Duchess Catherine Middleton stepped out onto the balcony of Buckingham Palace for their first kiss.
At 1:25 p.m. London time, the fairy-tale moment unfolded, as the joyously content couple shared their first public kiss in front of the literally thousands, who swarmed around Buckingham Palace to get a glimpse of the newlyweds in person.
After waving to the crowd, with beaming smiles, the pair shared a demure peck while surrounded on all sides by their family. As the crowd cheered (some begging for more), the couple went in for a second, slightly longer kiss.
And that balcony has historical significance: 30 years ago, Prince Charles and Princess Diana kissed in the same spot following their wedding.

Bless the Beckham's for cocking up again! Posh said she would lend Kate some dresses - what for, her Barbie? And The cameras gave documented proof during the hymns of the first time she has ever sung live.
ReplyDeleteEven though they are supposed to be the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (blurgh), they are always going to be Prince William and Princess Cathrine! Awww....
