I have to say nobody does weddings like the British royal family. They know how to do it, with all of the ceremony and pomp.
That's why hundreds of millions of not billions of people watch royal weddings like William and Kate's.
I even woke up at ten to three this morning to watch the ceremony live, held at Westminster Abbey, certainly one of the world's great buildings, on BBC America. I woke up just when Queen Elizabeth arrived.
And yes, Kate's dress was absolutely perfect. I was hoping for a Grace Kelly-style dress which is never dated, and I wasn't disappointed. Thank God it wasn't a sleazy dress like so many modern wedding dresses, and it wasn't the goddamned mess Diana's was. Diana's looked like a bunch of bed sheets sewn up together. It swallowed her up although the veil was beautiful. Kate's was perfect, but of course this woman knows how to put herself together.
The big question given recent history is whether the marriage will last. All I can say is if this one doesn't, then just about nobody's will.
