This is her 3rd marriage?

Yes.  Her first marriage was for two years and that marriage was annulled.  She married her second husband after living with him for 7 years.  This marriage ended in divorce after two years.

LOL!  I was just thinking the same thing.   (Guess the 3rd time *is* the charm)

I’m watching BBCA coverage; one of the commenters said “on a day like today when the temperature is so high.

It’s 69.

Queen Victoria rolling in her grave with Meghan wearing white...

I can almost hear my mother and aunts in a circle saying: She's wearing white AND a face veil.   The "tsk-tsks" would be bouncing off the chapel walls.

Okay, can we talk?  I thought the procession down the aisle was a bit disjointed and rushed.  I thought she was still climbing the stairs when I realized she was half way down the aisle.  The kids looked as confused as I felt.

I did not like some of the music and the *speakers*..I like traditional ceremonies.

I thought 90% of the music was awful ... and I would have shortened the civil rights portion of the program.   

(BBC is already reporting that this is a marriage that "will change the world".)

Meghan's something borrowed 

Meghan’s sparkling tiara is Queen Mary’s Diamond Bandeau, which has been loaned to her by Harry’s grandmother the Queen.

Royal brides are traditionally loaned priceless heirlooms to wear on their wedding day.

Meghan could have chosen the Spencer tiara - famously worn by Harry’s later mother Diana, Princess of Wales when she married the Prince of Wales in 1981.

But Meghan has instead selected this little known piece, which features a magnificent floral-shaped suspended brooch in the centre made of a large round diamond surrounded by nine smaller circular diamonds.

It was specifically made for the Queen’s grandmother Queen Mary in 1932 to accommodate the detachable brooch, which was given to Mary as a wedding present in 1893 by the County of Lincoln.

The bandeau is a flexible band of 11 intricate glittering sections, pierced with interlaced ovals and pave set with large and small brilliant diamonds.

The bandeau and the brooch were bequeathed by Queen Mary to her granddaughter the Queen on her death in 1953.

Also the Royal kid could be President if she is still an American Citizen...

Not, I believe, with a royal title.  She would have to give that up.

 I can't believe my wife got up at 3am to watch this. She is so silly, she had cake and champagne and even wore one of those silly hats British women wear. The cats and I want back to sleep.
