Has anyone caught any pictures of Pippa from last night?

Too much tan, but...

And just for fun, what do you think the parents (and/or grandparents) of the latest Royal Newlyweds are doing tonight?

I think the Middletons will have a few drinks and send out for pizza.

There were LOTS of women with bad hair. Seriously, if you are wearing a hat, get some gel, slick it into a bun or side pony, put on the effing hat and call it a day. Not hard yo.

her father lifted her veil.

my husband and i decided that chelsy had grabbed harry before the wedding and had a quickie behind the church. that's why she looked so disheveled.

btw, the today show interviewed a designer in california who has already produced a copy of kate's wedding dress. he said that he had been contacted by lord and taylor. after the interview the co-host said that the copy would sell for 5-800 dollars-that doesn't sound right if it will be sold at lord and taylor!

Monique Lhullier has released her newest bridal collection, which includes a Catherine and a Pippa style- the Catherine dress is very nice, imo. Sleeves and all.

I think, though, you'll only see an iconostasis (icon screen separating the altar area from the rest of the church) in Orthodox or Eastern Rite Catholic churches.

In my many years of "examining" various churches, I have never seen an icon outside of a brand of Orthodoxy (or in the home of a follower of Orthodoxy). That shocks me - especially the Presbyterian & Methodist!

I must haqve missed her father doing so - I know that's how it's usually done.

And I agree with you & your husband about Chelsy! On top of everthing else, her roots looked huge! Surely a royal wedding is something for which one has her roots done!

I couldn't identify the song either.

I wore my tiara tonight.

I couldn't help it, I'm still in the spirit! It was so fun and festive but I wish I'd had a viewing party to attend (and no work the next morning).

Re: icons

As Britain prepares for the marriage of Crown Prince William and Kate Middleton, it is interesting to note that there are two beautiful Greek Orthodox Byzantine style icons placed inside Westminster Abbey, one on each side... something that we've never seen before, and maybe in deference to the Greek connection of the Royal Family.

Prince Charles is a frequent visitor to Mt Athos while Prince Philip, before renouncing his Greek citizenship to marry the Queen, was a member of the Greek Royal family, while ex King of Greece, Constantine is one of William's godparents.

And from the wiki

Quote:

The Prince of Wales also travels (amidst some secrecy) each year to Mount Athos to spend time in the Orthodox monasteries there,[69] as well as in Romania,[46] demonstrating his interest in Orthodox Christianity.[70][71][72] Along with his father, who was born and raised as Greek Orthodox, Charles is patron of The Friends of Mount Athos, as well as the 21st International Congress of Byzantine Studies.[73] It is also believed that Prince Charles has an Orthodox icon corner in his house where he keeps the majority of his Orthodox icons. None of this is surprising, as Prince Charles' father was raised Greek Orthodox, but converted before marrying the future Queen Elizabeth II. It is reported that in more recent years, even his father, Prince Philip has joined him in occasional retreats to the peninsula.[69]

Here's my question: Where does the "Louis" in Prince William's name come from? Is it someone from Philip's family or from Diana's? I mean, I know royal names all have significance, they're not just picked because they like the name.

Drolefille · #11 05-01-2011, 04:38 PM

It's for his honorary grandfather, Lord Louis Mountbatten.

Prince Charles' "honorary grandfather" that is. Lord Mountbattan was Phillip's uncle and Charles' great-uncle.

There were a fair number of Louises among the Mountbattans.

Thank you for the correction, the site I found wasn't very specific in their attributions. >.<

Wow. When they say "William is his mother's son" they weren't kidding! I never realized how alive Diana is in her child until I saw this picture. It's adorable.

Every time i heard "louie" i also heard "Louie, Lou-I"

i have to say that i am so depressed now that the wedding is all over-what do we have to look forward to?
