Well, that was probably the best wedding I've ever seen or been to. I'm not even a big royal fan, only William and Harry generate any interest in me as they seem relatively down to earth nice fun lads.
Highlights:
Pippa Middleton in that dress
Kate's erect nipples in the breeze.
TPT's dodgy nose job.
Becks trying to be posh with a tramp stamp on the back of his neck.
James Middleton's speech. Very well delivered.
Kate and Pippa nearly tripping over their dresses as they were on the verge of being too long.
The cartwheeling abbey official after the guests had left.*
The horse throwing it's rider and nearly causing chaos as William and Kate left the abbey back to Buckingham Palace.
The balcony scene with Kate saying "oh wow" as she saw all the people waiting outside, and her reaction to the crowd cheering after each kiss.
William squashed into the Aston Martin as they drove back to Clarence House for some 'down time'.
The sea king rescue helicopter doing the very low fly over.
The policeman entertaining the crowd outside Clarence House with his norman widsom trip and play up to the crowd.*
Philip Schofield admitting he and Julie Etchingham hadn't had chance to leave their seats even for a loo break in over 5 hours, and the tortured look on Julie's face as he said it.
Mark Austin almost panicking as he was caught in the crowd surge towards the palace gates, then getting toggled, and Julie taking the piss out of him.
The boring BBC commentary. Great for funerals, not so much for weddings.
ITV not having a single ad break throughout the whole live broadcast.
ITV HD trouncing BBC HD in the picture quality.
Overall great to see the Brits putting on a show to entertain the world, and great to see the younger royals enjoying themselves and being so relaxed on what must have been a very stressful day.
I wonder what the odds are that Harry kicked Pippa's back door in last night.
* Hope these two didn't get into trouble. They showed a human side that complimented the vibe of the day.

Apparently Harry has it organised for Saturday morning during the 6am 'survivors breakfast' he's sorted out for those allergic to sleep:
Royal Wedding Survivors Breakfast
That's if the wedding gets that far. Apparently MI5 have a contingency in place in case Kate decides to do a runner at the altar:
Operation Pumpkin
My ladbrokes trip the other day may have been worth it after all.

I reckon we should just lock MAC and EDL up in a big dark room and let them argue their differences. I think they'd quite quickly get confused as to who was who.

Muslims against Crusades are saying they are not having the protest now and muslims should not go to the area.
Ehh, that just says one thing to me.

I may have to change allegiance to the other thread. After watching the ITV documentary on how Kate Met William last night it appears she stalked him.
1. She proclaimed it was kismet when William played polo at her high school and appeared in the school magazine on a page opposite her playing hockey. She also had a poster of him on her wall at the time, confirmed by her room mate but later denied by Kate (she said it was the Levi guy).
2. She went on the same charity expedition to Africa, several weeks after William did (which made the news so she knew all about it), possibly so they'd have something to talk about when they did eventually meet.
3. She went to St Andrews, on the same course (Art History), and stayed in the same halls of residence in the first year. This made it inevitable that William would notice her and be obliged to at least talk about the course they shared while they were in the same communal breakfast room in the hall.
May all be one hell of a coincidence.
I wonder what the odds are of the wedding being cancelled if all this is new to William and the royals. May have a trip down to ladbrokes.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but on Friday I'm off to a parallel Royal Wedding breakfast in my village, togged up in smart attire.
Good excuse for a themed party I thought.
Can't be arsed with tails, but my morning suit might get an airing.

Yes, ugly enough.
You're right though, there are enough fatties in England so no desire to go to the USA for more of the same. In my home town many of the fittest birds seem to be from eastern Europe, particularly Poland. Don't know if they're the cream of the crop or if it's worth going over for a recce sometime.
Besides, the way this thread has gone proves that WWII is still very much still in people's minds. Maybe the Polish lasses will welcome me with open arms seeing as my grandad helped beat the jerries.

A royal enthusiast has begun camping out in front of Westminster Abbey for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
John Loughrey, 56, began his week-long vigil on Monday night, saying he planned to stay in his position to ensure a prime spot for the event.
The man from south-west London, said: "I have always been loyal to the Royal Family."
He was dressed in a Kate and William T-shirt stating "Diana Would Be Proud".
The former assistant chef, from Wandsworth, a self-confessed "super fan" of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, wore images of Kate and William tied round his waist and a Union flag hat.
