The royal wedding on Saturday. It is also the cup final. I may look to see what the bride is wearing,buut after that I will not be interested.
I wish the couple well,but hours of TV viewing every detail is not for me.

I wish the couple well,but hours of TV viewing every detail is not for me. I will be on a flight to Amsterdam , with Mrs A & two sons. It is my birthday gift from our youngest. We're having a culture weekend visiting museums, taking a boat ride and eating out. Thankfully I'll miss the wedding but will record the cup final. |

No Mrs A and I speak English at home , as we had to teach the boys. None of us speak Dutch but the boys speak Spanish, Portuguese, Italian*, Latvian*, Vietnamese and Thai.** * because of girlfriends ** youngest taught English in Phuket and Vietnam |

I watched some of the wedding programme,to see what everyone was wearing.
I was surprised how tasteful the bride's dress was.Plain,classic, in slipper satin which drapes beautifully.
Victoria Beckham looked a mess in a long shapeless dark navy dress.More of a funeral outfit really.
The princesses Beatrice and Eugenie need help with their outfits.
They always get it so wrong and turn up looking very frumpy.
George Clooney looked marvellous.

I watched it too, Althea. And loved it I sometimes think we colonials love the royals more than the poms. It was wonderful: she looked magnificent; the little flower girls and pageboys were really cute; the American preacher was...interesting. An all-round lovely evening(down here)'s viewing. |

I think the American preacher was making the most of being in the spotlight of the world's media.
I think he was auditioning for further work.
Apparently,he has had many offers to appear all over the world.
