General Discussion & Introductions / An Incredible View!
« Last post by MaryLou on May 20, 2018, 02:28:18 pm »If you want to get a really close-up look of the people waiting for Harry and Megan to pass by in their carriage, you have to see this image! It is incredible!! You can zoom in close enough to see the jewelry worn by the people in the crowds.
It's amazing what they can do with camera's today!!

Things been a little better the last few days and tomorrow I'll pick up my sister in the airport and we'll go to a nice hotel by the sea for a couple of days. Look forward to that, been there once before and it is really a nice place.

« Last post by MaryLou on May 19, 2018, 06:17:22 pm »I stayed up until 5:30 am watching the event. 2.5 miles of a sea of people waiting for the car to go by. That was incredible!! I loved her dress - very simple lines (and very expensive!). I did not like the train, it was much too long and seemed to be a bother.
Mehgan's mother is very pretty, especially for a lady 61 years old. I bet she was stunning when she was young. She was very quiet and sort of on the sidelines. Actually, all of the Brits were very straight-faced and non-smiling while the commoners on the sidelines were all in such happy spirits. Big contrast!
The hats were another story! I don't know how they managed to keep them on their heads. Some looked like spaceships getting ready for a landing while others looked like a rocket getting ready to take off. I did like Camilla's hat - it was so fluffy looking. HRH looked like she always does but I didn't like the green color she wore. It looked pretty when she was outside but inside, the cameras turned it a pea green. Ugg.
Don't want to overlook the men either! They looked so spiffy in their suits with vests, and topcoats. Seems most of the ties were blue! There were a few older gents that wore tophats. They looked so elegant!!
The best part was the ending when the happy couple were in the carriage surrounded by those beautiful white horses with riders dressed in red uniforms and all the finery that goes with it.
I enjoyed it very much. We don't have anything with that kind of pageantry in this country so it's always a treat to see it on TV. Was worth losing sleep over. The repeats have been on TV all day today. By Monday, it will all be forgotten.

I did watch parts of the wedding. Meghan looked absolutely stunning. Her dress was simple and elegant. Harry looked lovely too. They make a lovely couple and I think my mind is made up regarding how genuine Meghan is....think she absolutely adores Harry and he adores her. I wish them all the best for the future.
Doria, Meghan's mother was very composed, reserved and elegant. It's about time there was a mix up in the Royal family, I think it brings them up to date and shows the world there is absolutely no place for racism.

She will walk partly down the way by herself, then Charles will join her the rest of the way. The TV gossipers here are going wild over this.
I would HATE living in a fish bowl. They can't even pass gas without it being in the news!

« Last post by MaryLou on May 18, 2018, 10:04:21 pm »I am thinking now that having to start over was not a bad idea. I am amazed at how much old stuff I had on my hard drive! Fortunately, I did back up all my files 2 months ago so I really didn't lose a lot. I hated losing my AD Assets though.
Everything seems to be running fine at the moment. Should have it all done by tomorrow. The cleanup process was well worth the time.

Keep on smiling! It will make people wonder what you're up to!! :) |
