Loved the simplicity of everything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding/page/2#post-2823785 Mon, 21 May 2018 12:22:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2823785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: the official photos were released and the Queen’s green is not as jarring in the pics. Everyone looks so good in the photo. Kate’s ensemble reads more yellow. I loved Meghan’s veil too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823782 Mon, 21 May 2018 12:09:47 +0000 Mrs D 2823782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD and I watched. My girls get up at about 630/7 anyways, so it worked out well. Here are my thoughts:</p> <p>1) I was so impressed by Meghan. I feel she represented the US so well. I dont know her well to have had any specific thoughts on what she'd wear but I just wanted it to be classy - and it was.<br /> 2) That veil...in love...major swoon.<br /> 3) I loved the simple makeup look. I just really love her (and Princess Catherine) as positive examples for my girls. They dress appropriately and wear at least natural looking makeup.<br /> 4) I was meh over her reception dress.<br /> 5) Princess Harry is the cutest<br /> 6) Princess Charlotte tried to steal the show, it was so cute<br /> 7) I actually enjoyed the sermon...the whole service was well executed!</p> <p>DD kept calling her the Wedding Girl...it was cute. She also remark that the Queen "made a bold outfit choice"...I told her she's the queen and is still killin it at 92, she can do what she wants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823734 Mon, 21 May 2018 09:31:59 +0000 snowjewelz 2823734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@muffinsmuffins: I agree! It's way nostalgic for me. I remember Princess Diana, and William/Harry, etc. </p> <p>I am sad that she's getting so much flack for her dress! I mean yes, it's kind of plain and may not be the most flattering for her. But girl, wear what you want, do whatever you want! I LOVE the light make-up on her. I think all the simple-ness allowed her to just shine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823567 Sat, 19 May 2018 21:02:12 +0000 Mama Bird 2823567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't watch, but the photos are lovely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823548 Sat, 19 May 2018 18:32:51 +0000 erinbaderin 2823548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched it with my boys, although I watched it on my phone while they toggled their attention between it and Madagascar. My oldest (4) was really into having all the princesses and princes and Queen and “King” pointed out. My littlest (2) kept touching Harry on the screen and saying “he beautiful! He beautiful!” </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823547 Sat, 19 May 2018 18:23:18 +0000 petitenoisette 2823547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@muffinsmuffins: agreed on why it’s so popular. I was texting with a friend and we were wondering what message we were sending to our daughters but decided that sometimes it’s just nice to enjoy something magical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823544 Sat, 19 May 2018 17:10:02 +0000 Autumnmama79 2823544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watched it, loved it! Can’t stop looking at pictures of it :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823529 Sat, 19 May 2018 14:03:04 +0000 lady baltimore 2823529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am bored by wedding ceremonies when I know the people, so I definitely didn't set the alarm to watch this one. I am enjoying looking at the pictures of everyone's get-ups, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823527 Sat, 19 May 2018 13:12:06 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2823527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did! I rolled out of bed just as Meghan was stepping out of the car. It was fun to watch.</p> <p>As for why there’s so much hype, I think it’s the nostalgia factor as well as the fact that there isn’t a lot of things these days that the entire world can watch and enjoy and be happy about for a few hours. I’m 33 and remember when Princess Diana died and William and Harry were total teen heartthrobs growing up. Now all those women and their moms are into the royal wedding. Of course the royals are not relevant anymore, and I bet we won’t hear as much about them after it all dies down...I guess until Meghan gets pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823525 Sat, 19 May 2018 12:19:27 +0000 wrkbrk 2823525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: Same. I am honestly puzzled by all the hype amongst adult women. It’s not like the royal family is particularly progressive or represents what we want to teach our kids....Not intending any hate! I’m honestly just surprised by all the interest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823522 Sat, 19 May 2018 10:22:04 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2823522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dang! Meghan took us to church!! </p> <p>The church looked beautiful and everyone just looked so happy and relaxed. I liked her dress, but thought it looked heavy in this weather (mine maybe not the UK). LO got a kick out of seeing the horses during the carriage ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823520 Sat, 19 May 2018 09:40:24 +0000 ElbieKay 2823520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really like what the royal family represents, so I am not watching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823422 Fri, 18 May 2018 09:45:39 +0000 Miss Ariel 2823422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I’m so excited. Of course it was a lot easier waking up for William and Kate’s wedding since it was before kids. Plus it was on a weekday so I took the day off from work! But this time will be a little harder to function afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823399 Fri, 18 May 2018 08:25:22 +0000 Mrs D 2823399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: My mom and I were discussing this earlier today...she remarked that she would be pissed bc she'd want to walk her daughter down the aisle. But then in almost the same breathe she said "but it is nice for him, since he has no daughters he may not get to do it"...</p> <p>So I guess if they are close or she was apprehensive about her mom doing it than its nice. From what I have seen/heard about her mom she is a very normal person, not into the spot light or anything, the idea of walking her down the aisle may have been too much or intimidating....I could easily see that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823386 Fri, 18 May 2018 07:59:18 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2823386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: something about it just weirds me out like she is 100% theirs now. Before that was announced I Googled if Gina Torres and Lawrence Fishburne were in London for the wedding. IDK maybe they were close and he could walk her down or something, but he’s no longer with Gina and likely wasn’t invited to the wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823385 Fri, 18 May 2018 07:54:39 +0000 Mamaof2 2823385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I think its nice but if it were me I would have wanted my mom to walk me down if my Dad wasn't around </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823382 Fri, 18 May 2018 07:40:15 +0000 cake2017 2823382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Yes!!!! We will DVR and watch later as 4am is alittle too early for me to be in front of the TV haha but I love the Royals :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823374 Fri, 18 May 2018 07:24:08 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2823374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CBS is reporting Meghan will walk part way down the aisle solo and then Prince Charles will walk her the rest of the way. WDYT? If your dad or VIP wasn’t available would you have wanted your FFIL to walk you? My dad didn’t come to my wedding and my mom wanted to walk me- I walked solo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823325 Thu, 17 May 2018 20:25:40 +0000 petitenoisette 2823325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn’t planning to watch but @Mrs D: made me realize my DD would prob love to watch some real life princesses! </p> <p>Either way, I’ll definitely check out what they wore after, I do find the royals intriguing tho I’m not obsessed by any means. Also I wonder what title they will get after the wedding (duke and duchess like big bro?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823323 Thu, 17 May 2018 20:05:54 +0000 PinkElephant 2823323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@krispi: This is a fun idea!</p> <p>I don't care about the royal wedding - I'm sure I'll read an article online after the fact, pretty much just so I can discuss it if it comes up socially.... but that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823320 Thu, 17 May 2018 19:37:09 +0000 lamariniere 2823320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I may try to find it streaming if we are home, it will be the middle of the evening/dinner time here though. Like @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I also want to see what all the VIPs are wearing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823311 Thu, 17 May 2018 18:51:25 +0000 JCCovi 2823311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched Will and Kate’s but that was more social. I was in college and a bunch of us got up early. I don’t have anyone to watch it with now, but I totally would if I did. I’ll be sure to google some pictures after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823253 Thu, 17 May 2018 14:32:53 +0000 RonjaL7 2823253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousins and I are having a sleepover and we are making headband facinators.

Mother's Day was kind of a bust bc DS ended up getting sick, so I asked for a do-over to watch the royal wedding as uninterrupted as possible (with a nursing break in there somewhere). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823212 Thu, 17 May 2018 13:39:59 +0000 mediagirl 2823212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: that's what I meant. hahaha.
