A Princess in McQueen

Until eleven o'clock last night, I was the Royal Wedding Grinch.  That's when Sarah--my sister--came in my room, hopped on my bed, and turned on BBC.  The conversation (no, lecture) persuaded me to watch the countdown, at least until I got sleepy.

... and yes, I stayed up to watch the ceremony.

The moment when Catherine was escorted out of the car, I thought what millions were thinking: hurry up! who is the dress by?! I was ecstatic that Catherine (Kate) chose Sarah Burton, the creative director of Alexander McQueen, to design her dress.  McQueen for a future Queen. Everything from the delicate veil, elegant laced sleeves, and the decadent silhouette, was fitted to perfection. She looked stunning & so poised. The whimsical ceremony was followed by their carriage riding past a cheerful crowd, and a memorable kiss on the balcony.
