What a beautiful day! We started off by going to Mass in our parish where we prayed for the Royal Couple and then back home to make ourselves comfortable in front of the TV.
The dress was beautiful, and like many others I gather, I was so pleased to see that Catherine had chosen a design that covered her shoulders. It was quite classic, elegant and very appropriate and she has a natural grace that made it look just perfect.
I found the Anglican Marriage Rite very moving. It managed to be both solemn and joyful and the apparent sincerity of the young couple was charming. They appeared to be listening attentively throughout the Bishop of London's sermon and looked quite at home kneeling for the blessing.
Of course the choral music was a delight and the pageantry of the whole event was accomplished to perfection as we have come to expect.
At the same time we were privileged to catch glimpses of the 'family wedding'; the smiles and comments exchanged between Prince William and his brother, the sisterly glances exchanged between Catherine and Pippa Middleton and the pride on Michael Middleton's face as he escorted his daughter down the aisle.

Prayers for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for a long, happy and faithful marriage.
All in all, a quite perfect day.

I agree- a wonderful day with so many beautiful moments and images. I loved Kate's dress and her dainty bouquet and the walk down the tree-lined aisle with her proud Dad and the fabulous singing. Sigh!!!
God bless them, they seem like such a lovely couple- so relaxed and comfortable they were all day- a sure sign that they felt they were doing the right thing.
