OK, I'll start it, if only to say -

what amazing hats!!!!! I loved all of those hats!! Such fun and inventiveness!

Now as far as the main event - well, the Brits know how to put on shows, and it was nice. The Middletons did well, no one tripped (although why the girls of today insist on those long hems I don't know - I'd put them up by half an inch so they don't have to kick the dress out of the way - did you notice Pippa's little side-hip-roll when she had her hands full of the train and couldn't lift up her own skirt?).

I loved the trees in the Abbey - now why didn't my florist come up with that?

("Roses, gardenias - now would you like a few trees, too?"

) It was nice but not too over-the-top, and I bet the security people breathed a huge sigh of relief when they got back into the palace.

The tiny little bridesmaid with the dark hair and bangs was my favorite

And it's incredible how much Wills looks like his mum! Kate having Diana's ring was nice.
