She looked so beautifully happy, so radiant and full of joy.
See? It was a lovely day all round, not least because she married the man that she loved, despite all the pressures of family, state and society.
One thing that makes these Royal events more fun to look at is the clothes. I'm not going to spend the rest of my evening posting pictures of royals (especially as I'm 5 pages away from finishing one of the best books i've read this year-more on that to come) but I did want to post this of Princess Mabel of Orange-Nassau. Mabel has had a colourful Royal history-her husband gave up his place in the line of succession to marry her after the Dutch Parliament refused to support the marriage.
Apparently she's big in European NGO work (including War Child and something called Elders). She's also a muse of Viktor & Rolf (They did her bow-laden wedding dress) but that doesn't justify why she wore this to the wedding.
It's like something Old Gregg would wear: a sartorial downstairs mix up.
