– hey're married!
Kate Middleton has arrived at Westminster Abbey, looking gorgeous in a long-sleeved, long-trained dress. The
BBC
notes she's wearing a tiara under her veil, and her hair is down. Her dress was, in fact, designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen; full details of her outfit
here
.
The queen is singing!
Prince William reportedly told Kate, "You look beautiful" when she reached his side. The
Telegraph
's lip reader claims he said, "You look stunning, babe."
What a relief: The Archbishop of Canterbury asks the traditional question as to whether anyone has any objections; no one does.
The happy couple is exchanging vows, and as promised, no "obey" in sight. Kate seems a bit nervous—wouldn't you be if your wedding was being
live-streamed
to the entire world?
And with that, they're man and wife. Surprisingly speedy!
A professional lip reader reports that Prince William joked with Kate's dad at the altar: "We were supposed to have just a small family affair."
The crowds freak out as William and Kate exit the abbey to board their carriage. Note that it's an open-air carriage, despite predictions of bad weather.
The
Atlantic
declares that Shep Smith over at Fox News gave the "best wedding preamble coverage," saying things like "Look at this. They're all so royal, aren't they? Look at these people. Do you know these people?" and at one point even speaking in an English accent.
Their royal highnesses have arrived at Buckingham Palace.

My favorite is when Harry said to William, "Wait 'til you see her." Not sure if anyone else caught that. William probably was dying to turn around and look but he couldn't. Hope Harry stays single for a while. He's a very entertaining but I don't think he'll ever wear what he wore that one Halloween.

There are some things that get better with age. I watched Di in '81 with the same friends who flew in for this. This was so stunning and wonderful that it was nice to have seen the other one at four am to compare. That being best friends in love is a really good thing when you get married. My only problem was the damn queen looked less stoved up than I. Whatever they got in the protein of their genomes should be bottled.
