Highlights From the Royal Wedding

I didn't set my alarm for 4AM but, when I got up at 5:30AM, I did turn on the TV to see what was happening in London.  Between hitting the Bowflex, going for a run, getting cleaned up, and starting e-mail at 7:30AM, here are my observations.  (And, yes, I did run back downstairs at 8:25AM so that I could see the appearance on the balcony.)

• All of the early discussion on TV related to Kate's dress.  Everyone wanted to know what it would look like.  By the time the car finally pulled up to Westminster Abbey, I was right there with the announcers.  But, before Kate even got out of the car, another woman appeared dressed all in white.  "Who's that?" I wondered as she walked to the car.  Whoever she was, she looked great.  Forget Kate.  I just watched this other girl as she helped Kate out of the car and adjusted the wedding gown's train.  When the camera panned away from her and back to Kate, I was not happy.  Can you blame me?

Hottest Bridesmaid Ever (US Weekly says so!)

• Harry just looks like much more fun than William.  I got a kick out of him turning around on the altar to see what was happening behind him -- that reminded me of someone I know who did the same exact thing during my wedding.
• How scary were those nuns seated next to William and Kate on the altar?  Who invited them, anyway?
• Somebody should have told William it's not cool for a man to wave like a pageant winner.  Just raise your arm and acknowledge the crowd.  Let Kate do the waving.
• Kate's parents looked alright whenever they were on camera but I'd love to know what they're really thinking about all this.

Well, that's it.  I've got to go watch Kathy Griffin's "Insightful & Hilarious Take on the Royal Wedding" to see what she thought.
