The whole event was such a pleasant diversion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1921189 Mon, 21 May 2018 18:32:26 +0000 Anonymous 1921189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heard an Episcopal bishop today who knows the Bishop that gave homily.

Though BBC channel commentary seemed nice (I watched from arrival at the chapel through the ceremony and carriage ride back to Windsor). </p> <p>Some of the American commentators (I'm American) in the "pre-game" coverage in days and hours ahead of the event seemed either too gaga gushy or catty or vapid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920983 Mon, 21 May 2018 01:01:26 +0000 Angie 1920983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought Meghan’s wedding dress was absolutely KILLER STUNNING. At first, I felt that I desperately wanted to neaten her hair “Grace Kelly” style under that vail. But after realizing how different, diverse, and untraditional the wedding was compared to other royal weddings, I appreciated the imperfection. The messy bun made a different type of statement. A very important one actudlyv. And I LOVED the feminist and global themes they incorporated into the wedding. Power to the new diverse royal couple. </p> <p>The reception dress was KILLER to the POWER of KILLER. </p> <p>I thought the Queen rocked her lime outfit. My next fave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920978 Mon, 21 May 2018 00:05:51 +0000 rachylou 1920978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I fault the press for the comment making faces - the way they juxtaposed shots. And by direct divisive commentary. One commentator was ragging on them for their ‘tame kiss’ on the church steps. Gross!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920965 Sun, 20 May 2018 23:20:33 +0000 Cee 1920965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved ALL the outfits ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920956 Sun, 20 May 2018 21:18:39 +0000 The Cat 1920956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't see anyone making faces at anyone else. (And I believe that the royals, in particular, know better than doing so.)</p> <p>I also didn't see anyone trying to hide his face. And that's more than I can say about everyone here at YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920951 Sun, 20 May 2018 20:54:49 +0000 Helena 1920951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meghan looked absolutely perfect! Her mom was resplendent too, but my favorite guest was Jessica Mulroney in her gorgeous sapphire. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920950 Sun, 20 May 2018 20:52:59 +0000 Windchime 1920950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved that Meghan chose a dress designed by Givenchy’s first woman Artistic Director! It seems such an appropriate choice by this feminist new member of the monarchy.</p> <p>The simplicity of the dress set off her stunning, hand-embroidered veil and train. She is gorgeous, smart, outspoken, and, along with Prince Harry, has a kind heart. I’m going to be watching this new couple with interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920941 Sun, 20 May 2018 20:04:32 +0000 Greyscale 1920941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meghan Markle's mother is <i>so cute</i>. That twist-out hair! The tiny nose stud! She looks so full of life and sparkle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920932 Sun, 20 May 2018 18:59:05 +0000 JAileen 1920932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stand by my comment. I believe the faces were aimed at the American minister. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920923 Sun, 20 May 2018 17:55:55 +0000 Gaylene 1920923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rachylou that the “making faces” comments are a bit annoying. The critical remarks about Zara Tindall seem particularly harsh given that she well into her pregnancy. Not sure what kind of facial expressions I’d be making if I was seated on a hard wooden bench in dress clothes for a couple of hours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920919 Sun, 20 May 2018 17:17:34 +0000 Carla 1920919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pryanka Chopra (in lavender Viv Westwood -swoon!) gets my vote for fave outfit. Since I have always felt a little sympathy for Sarah York (nee Ferguson) - fellow ginger and age mate - I was super happy to see her looking good at the wedding. Her up-do looked fabulous from behind, but I couldn't find a pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920918 Sun, 20 May 2018 17:17:03 +0000 rachylou 1920918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ps: I spent summers in Sussex when I was a girl... and I have to confess I can’t wrap my head around the idea of them running around down there. I NEVER imagine Harry existing outside of London, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920917 Sun, 20 May 2018 17:10:43 +0000 rachylou 1920917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. I have to say I wonder about the making faces. The royals seem to like Meghan Markle very much. It’s extraordinary, especially when the spectre of Wallis Simpson looms large large... after all, that woman was such a disruption. Queen Elizabeth’s own life was changed by Wallis Simpson. I can’t imagine a single aspect of this wedding being unvetted by the Queen. Including the homily, since she is the head of the church. And Prince Charles was extraordinarily fond to walk Markle up to the altar and solicitous and affectionate of Markle’s mother.</p> <p>I wonder if A) the seeming making of faces was unfortunate timing of first time live streaming shots, B) esp for Prince Phillip - age, health, and ancient hard wooden seats, and C) they aren’t all secretly atheists... lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920916 Sun, 20 May 2018 17:00:07 +0000 Column 1920916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t know how I missed the Spencer ladies.

Last night I noticed I had 8 hours recorded!!! I zoomed through a lot of it, but kept falling asleep.</p> <p>I liked her dress. The off shoulder look really works for her. The tiara was small and appropriate, but I didn’t care for the style. The ridiculous part was the train. I think having a dress and veil being a little longer in the back is fine. But the view of them sitting and the train still out in the middle was really silly, I thought. </p> <p>I loved the little children the best. The boy’s outfits were copies of the brothers’ outfits, and the little girls’ outfits were so cute. One of the older boys job was to hold hands with the littlest ones. Kind like wrangling cats, I think.</p> <p>I also liked seeing the guests’ outfits, and their reaction to parts of the ceremony. The American minister’s theme was good, but some people, members of the royal family in particular, were making faces. It made me like them less and less.</p> <p>I should add that until she got involved with Harry, I had never heard of her or her tv show. What I’ve heard of her since, makes me think they’re a good match. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920891 Sun, 20 May 2018 15:12:46 +0000 Jane 1920891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good spot RunCarla!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920887 Sun, 20 May 2018 15:03:14 +0000 Jenn 1920887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with rachylou. I loved Kitty Spencer’s dress. I’m glad most of the wedding guest attire wasn’t over the top. It was a wedding, not a red carpet and the focus was rightly on the bride and groom. Katherine wore a dress she’d worn twice before for public events, which I think was lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle/page/2#post-1920881 Sun, 20 May 2018 14:40:47 +0000 Carla 1920881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meghan's choice of wedding outfit (dress, veil, tiara, etc.) ticked all the boxes of environmental correctness without abdicating her own personal style. I have been following her style since prior to her coming out as Harry's main squeeze, she resided in Toronto and was a spokes model/brand ambassador for Reitman's (a Canadian women's wear store for those with modest budgets). </p> <p>When I saw her in the Theory jacket earlier this year (pic below) I speculated that we were getting a teaser! I think her wedding style will hold up in the long run and the pics won't date. The veil has 'family heirloom' written all over it and will be the kind of thing to hand down the Sussex line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle#post-1920875 Sun, 20 May 2018 14:23:43 +0000 Jane 1920875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SF, I am not sure - there isn't a Sussex seat, but it would be fab if they spent more time here and they can rely on me to be waving flags! DH says he is going to invite Harry to the local Rugby Club! DH is a coach there. I don't think this is a real thing, but it is lovely to think of it.&nbsp;</p> <p>KKards I agree, such wisdom! There is something about Meghan and Harry having such a huge amount of self knowledge, and their absolute conviction that they can do good in their lives.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle#post-1920870 Sun, 20 May 2018 14:05:38 +0000 Column 1920870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed, kkards. I could not have said it better. Given the variety of criticisms she might have endured from her outsider status as a commoner, an American, a woman of color, an actress (Grace Kelly not excepted), and a divorcee (Camilla not excepted), she had to avoid gratuitous extravagance, garishness, solopsism, etc. That said, I still expect she chose the gown she wanted (within certain parameters, of course), and I thought it showed her off to perfection while maintaining appropriately regal scale. To engage with the popular discourse, I agree that symbolism matters. I enjoy everyone`s perspectives, however. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle#post-1920869 Sun, 20 May 2018 14:03:32 +0000 Style Fan 1920869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point kkards.&nbsp; She is a very bright woman from what I have seen.&nbsp; I didn't know anything about her until recently but she does she to know how to handle difficult situations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle#post-1920854 Sun, 20 May 2018 12:19:14 +0000 kkards 1920854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>came back to add that what i loved about her wedding dress was, IMO it was a dress that was designed put the attention on her and the occasion and not on the dress. IMO it was a dress designed for a women who know that this was a chuch event not a red carpet event, and that she, as an actor and now as member of the royal family, would have plenty of other occasions to wear red carpet dresses.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle#post-1920831 Sun, 20 May 2018 09:12:46 +0000 Style Fan 1920831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane that is exciting!&nbsp; Will they be in Sussex?</p> <p>(I loved the part where Harry said "You look amazing" to Megan). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/markle-sparkle#post-1920828 Sun, 20 May 2018 09:06:57 +0000 Jane 1920828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found the day fascinating. Her dress was so simple but so elegant and &nbsp;style wise, so good for that day, that setting, that amount of public scrutiny! The evening dress looked wonderful too and such a beautiful aquamarine ring. Wonderful that it was Diana's.</p> <p>I found it wonderful to see that Harry and Meghan really do look to be absolutely head over heels in love. The sermon was superb. Stand by me made me well up.</p> <p>Amal Clooney looked devine! Fab colour.&nbsp;</p> <p>And yay! They are Duke and Duchess of Sussex and we live in Sussex.&nbsp; </p>
