How could anyone with AN OUNCE of class in their blood not love her dress. It was traditional, simple, flattering, and just plain old PERFECT.

Why do people care about the Royal Family and what they do? They bleed the English taxpayer dry to the tune or 80% on tax rate, they live in luxury, are powerless while serving no useful purpose or function other than ceremonial nonsense. What do the British people see in these seemingly worthless people, who do them no good? In the overall scheme of things, they don’t matter. Why bother?

I thought the whole wedding was gorgeous and appropriate for their ages/generation. Very sleek and modern, but traditional. I really admired the way the guests were dressed, as well, which I didn’t expect. Who doesn’t love a wedding? And now we have a Princess Catherine. Fun.

In these hard times, it is nice to, for just one day, escape from the daily prostetized news and have some pagentery. I thought the ceremoney was grand, the dress was lovely, Kate and William beaming, and the history viewed was things of legend. I think the story of Prince William is as compelling to the citizens of Great Briton as was the story of John Kennedy Jr. was to this country. Similar tragedies and hope for the future. Put aside your worries and enjoy the day. God save the Queen and protect the Prince and Princess..

In the midst of the hard times and tragedies going on in this world, it is nice to have have a happy occasion to help us all remember there is good in this world. It is the attitude of people like Tygo and Ethel that bring this world down. Yes we all are thinking about the hard times but we are also smiling at good times. It helps you to get through each day!

I knew everyone would start trashing the royal family. I am agaisnt a monarchy but most of England is for it and its none of our business. The dress was elegant. To not like this dress means you have no class. Just because there were deaths from storms does not mean we can never think about happy things. Some people just have miserable lives and like to complain.

I voted that it was just OK. I think the dress lacked the “wow” factor. I also wondered why her hair was not put up for a more classy look. All in all the wedding was exactly what Kate wanted and that is the main thing.

I thought it was great. The wedding had nothing to do with the US economy, the Pope, or tornadoes, and I suppose we should boycott Reds games because they might make someone happy. Besides, I didn’t have to pay for the dress. My best wishes to the young couple!

I liked her dress a lot. I too am in my 20s and don’t really think it made her look old. I think it made her look like a respectful woman. Too many women use their wedding dresses to show off their goodies that only their husband should see.

Do you have any idea how much revenue the country and the people generated with the tourists and press due to the Royal Wedding? Can you imagine the flux of money if Dayton had something like it? People and businesses are helped by this. The English people and Brits in general WANT the Royal Family, it helps their country!!

Her dress was understated and plain. Grace Kelly’s dress was amazing, and classic and I can’t believe people are comparing the two. Kate’s dress made me scrunch up my nose and wonder why out of ALL the amazing, beautiful possibilities she had at her fingertips, she would have chosen something so dowdy. It’s a tragedy.

@Beka — yes, I agree. After seeing Pippa’s dress, it seems like she could have gone with a more elaborate version of that, but maybe she was trying to cover up a little more properly? They are British, you know. I would have preferred a candle color rather than stark white, not quite the heavy cream Diana’s was. It would have been fun to go more 1930’s than 50’s.

The British do want the Royals, they make millions of pounds for their country every year in tourisum. They are also millonires in their own right. And no the British do not pay taxes to them anymore and have not for many years. Our Royals are to us like your Hollywood is to you.

I don’t really care if the Brits have a monarchy or not. It’s their country. But I did see the dress and think it’s very elegant. Much prettier than the over the top mess Diana wore.

dress was sooo been there done that, but perfect for a commoner! with all the great gowns out there, she surely has NO sense of style. BUT she could have had the style forced on her, like every other part of the day, to meet proper etiquette for royals. Nothing about the ceremony was modern or youthful……clearly showed why churches in england are empty…if these two buy into that type of stodgy mess, God better bless em!
