You missed it??? I know everyone and their mom has seen the "official Kate Middleton" site, but today might be the best it's been. Check out their tumblr for their wedding liveblog! Her dress was kind of boring, but I still loved it. UPDATE: The Hairpin's liveblog is also LOL. Will I be reading wedding stories all day? PROBABLY.

Someone needs to caption (or BLINGEE) this photo STAT:

Can we talk about Princesses Beatrice & Eugenie?? WTF. I want to like Fergie, but honestly these girls must have received the publicity hound gene from their mother. How else to explain their awful hat choices?

Some wedding guests I didn't understand:

Ian Thorpe - aka Thorpedo - the Australian Olympian swimmer. Did he used to date Kate and we missed it?



Joss Stone - singer - Her presence again confirms that Will & Kate do not have good musical taste. At least she's wearing shoes.



Chelsy Davy - Harry's on-again girlfriend. Her invite makes sense, her dress on the other hand...very mother of the bride. I know you don't want to upstage the bride, and don't worry - NO CHANCE OF THAT WITH THIS DRESS.

What would the day be without more Royal Wedding news! 1 day guys!!!! Rumor has it that Will and Kate want Beyonce and Jay-Z to sing at their reception. I think it's the "young, hip" reception and not the one that Charles and the Queen will attend. They allegedly want them to perform "Crazy in Love". What is this - 1999??? It's a good song - sometimes I don't skip it when I'm exercising, but overall this reveals how lame Will and Kate might be. They have their pick of singers and this is what they want? She's popular and brings da hitz, but what is with Beyonce getting invites to sing at every historical gathering - Obama's inaugural ball, Qaddafi's sons' birthday and now the Royal Wedding? Is everyone else blind to how robotic she is? Personal taste I guess. Who would you pick if you could hire any singer on the planet? Another thought to consider - don't you want someone that will still be relevant when you're celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary? Your grandkids are going to wonder "What's a Beyonce?". I think we can all agree that it could be worse........aka Katy Perry!

Did you hear about the guy who got a tattoo of Will & Kate on his teeth? Get the man some Crest Whitestrips stat! Also it freaks me out.

Happenings

I'm embarrassed (not really!) to admit that I'm obsessed with the upcoming royal wedding. I CAN'T WAIT. I missed out on Diana & Charles' wedding by being born TOO LATE, so I can't miss this one. It's weird because I don't think Prince William is cute - I think it's clear Harry got the looks in the family - but I'm still really pumped for this event. I think Kate Middleton is great though. He really lucked out. If he didn't have the whole heir to the throne thing going for him...is all I'm saying. From what I've read there are are reports that her family is of a lower/more common class and some say she has always been a social climber and this engagement represents her ultimate goal. Whatevs! Those details seem to make the story more accessible to Americans/me. Not the "seedy I have an angle social climbing" bit (although that would make for a fantastic Real Housewives of London), but the fact that she's just your "average" girl. Also I like the fact that they're getting married in my birthday month. On my dog's birthday. It's like we're practically related.

A few things concern me about this wedding though. Camilla. Yikes. I wish she wasn't going to be there, but being the step-mother and everything I suppose she has to be. This report that William won't wear a wedding band. Say whaaaaat??? His choice and all (I guess? What does Kate think about this), it just seems like a weird detail...that got it's own press release. I kind of wish they had chosen St. Paul's Cathedral. Westminster Abbey does have a certain grandness about it, but there's something sweet and understated about St. Paul's. Then again - William's parents got married there so it could have just been a way to avoid comparisons.

One detail needs to be ironed out - where will I be watching this event? It seems strange that the wedding is on a Friday. Really causes problems with needing to be at work.
