I'm a Brit, not particularly royalist, but fairly patriotic.

Here my hair whilst watching the royal wedding with my flat mates.

Lovely ceremony, sweet couple, and Will has a bald spot same as his father.

That's cute. Kate looked beautiful, and they both looked so happy. It was nice.

OMG, that is gorgeous! My country is a member of the Commonwealth, but I don't give a flip about the Royal Family.

How lovely, BritishBraider!

Catherine is the epitome of grace and style! Her gown was simplicity itself and she looked so elegant and beautiful. I'm so glad she didn't have a ton of jewelry around her throat. That veil was gorgeous. Truly, a wonderful event..and she had long hair too! What's not to like! I hope they live happily ever after!

I admit, I slept through most of the wedding. In the US, the wedding was broadcast at 5AM. I woke up at 6AM and saw them walking out of the church. Kate looked very beautiful, loved her dress and how she wore her hair!

Yeah, yeah, happy for them, very pretty and all...

HOW DID YOU DO YOUR HAIR?! It is stunningly gorgeous like that, I love it! Did you just french braid it with ribbons and pin it up? I'm usually pretty good dissecting styles, but that takes my breath away...how?

I admit that I haven't spent even a second of attention to that wedding, but your hairstyle is really pretty, BritishBraider!

It's very pretty! :)
I watched the wedding live on CNN, fortunately there is only an hour difference in time. I loved Kate's dress, it was so gorgeous!

Very pretty!!

I woke up at 5:30 this morning to watch the live stream of the wedding on youtube...Kate looked AMAZING! I can't get over how perfect her dress was.

It looks wonderful BritishBraider. I like how you weaved the ribbons into the braid, very patriotic with the colors indeed.

I wish both Kate and William tons of happiness. The wedding was both very classy yet very modern at the same time. It wasn't too over the top, and I liked how it wasn't stiff and formal feeling, it felt very warm and genuine feeling. Harry looked back at Kate, gave a cute little smirk and turned back to his brother to tell him "Wow, she's hot." :D
And after they were married, they didn't over-do it with the PDA, giving two quick kisses instead of one long kissing session.

It is two dutch braids (three strand) pinned to the back of my head.
