Well, the show was ok, wasn't it?! No emotions though and she didn't know what to do he always had to show her. The dress was nice but nothing special. Armani just took a normal Armani privee dress and put a long train on it (IMO it was too long but hey that's C). And at least there were a few people there... no 200000 though...

Look how empty the palace square is... people were not allowed to leave before the return of the car. So I leave you to do the math on how many were there.

LOL there really is hardly anyone there!!!they didn't get the hundred thousand yesterday, probably 15000 and now they have just a few thousand if that many... and they paid 7o Million plus the 10 Mill that trashy reneged by running away... thinking of this, if they would have given1000 Euros to everyone waving a flag, it would have been cheaper and they might actually have gotten people to come...

Charlene is really upset. Albert tries to reassure her by holding her hand. Charlene is upset? Over what? She just hit the jackpot!

There is a thing which made me laugh, at the moment the dad of charlene addressed discreetly his wife who said yes. Here is what he said (finally I imagine well): be going to need that we move and that we move in Monaco. I want to have an eye on my son-in-law, history that it does not go either to the right or to the left, if you see what I want to say.

boccelli is murdering the Ave Maria...never thought that one could perform it that boring... They played Ave Maria at a wedding? Talk about depressing. With so many beautiful uplifting songs, that is not one of them. Really odd!

With so many beautiful uplifting songs, that is not one of them. Really odd! yup, and it was terrible. The opera choir murdered the coronation mass and I still don't know what that African soprano was about. the song didn't fit her voice at all. sounded like some pop or folklore song sung by an opera singer. ANd not many opera singers have the gift of singing out ouf their genre. this one certainly doesn't. There was only one good singing performance IMO. Can't say that Rene Flemming got me convinced. ANd Boccelli was certainly not worth the 5 Mill they paid him. Just because a guy is blind and sings, doesn't make him a great tenor. SOrry, but I never got what people see in him. Musically I find him less then average. Must be the pity factor...

I just saw photos of her dress. Well, if I didn't know it was done by Armani, I would have said it looked "off the rack". He did try to camouflage her huge shoulders but in doing so made them the focal point. Also a close up of the dress makes me wonder what undergarments she might have been wearing.
They tried to copy Pippa's dress from the back but well, Pippa's backside has it's own facebook page so Charlene was a fool to try and compete. I really thought they were trying for Pippa's dress and failed. The dress was no fashion statement or iconic. Kate Middleton's dress will stand the test of time.
Albert in white looked positively huge. He would have been better off wearing a darker uniform. He looks so pale and unwell. Perhaps too much partying last night. This wedding was a non-event. Her bouquet was boring as well. Nothing special. It was as bland as they are. Here the had the opportunity to create their own stage effect and they blew it. All that money and they blew it. Just amazed is all I can say.

Albert looked like a lobster dropped in a huge pile of mayonnaise. I think all the guests are headed for their hotelrooms now and having a shower. Daddy wittstock was sweating like a pig and they caught him mopping his forehead. considering the empty spaces on the palace square, they would have been just fine in the cathedral and there they could have discreetly placed some fans. Because also the cathedral gets rather hot in summer...given concerts at this time of year and it's not nice. I said before that this date was a mistake. And they are lucky because the sun wasn't even out today. Just imagine how much hotter it would have been with sunshine. At present it really doesn't look nice out, though they might be lucky and not get rain during their out door dinner...

OK, just got Internet connection...we are sailing. I was able to watch TV and I can tell you there was NO exclusive coverage of the wedding...not on one channel. The only station that had shown bits of "live coverage" was CNN in between Casey Anthony murder case and euphoria in Canada for Will and Kate's arrival. The funny thing is that CNN was focusing more on Will and Kate and enormous crowds that came out just to catch a glimpse of them walking down the street.They show Albert walking down the aisle for a couple of seconds and then went back talking about the murder case. When they show "glowing bride" walking down the aisle they just say she was former Olympic swimmer and that she almost runaway and called off the wedding after finding some things about grooms past. Yeah right, i think she has found out everything about "groom's past" in the last five years. what she had found out is about groom's present infidelities and more children sired during their engagement period and not his past. Unless they were referring about his bi-sexuality, but she knew about that long ago as well.... Anyway, her dress....BORING! She wore the "same" dress at least five times in the last four years. Armani screwed her up big time as well as Lagerfeld. I mean, some of the dresses she wore in the past were more beautiful that her "wedding dresses". I am still trying to figure out what was that big surprise about her dress she didn't want to reveal. i hope she was not referring to that sheer piece of curtain she had over her head. Big flop...as usual! I hope they are both happy (even though they didn't look like). After decades of searching he had found love of his life who is marrying him for his money and title, and WC has finally got that tiara she desperately was after for the last 10 years. Tonight will be the happiest moment of her life when they let her wear tiara for the first time. Congratulation to both and to Monegasques who finally got what they were waiting for for soooo long. Give it to Grimaldies to make a mockery of a royal marriage!

www.morgenpost.de/vermischtes/article1689471/Was-der-Kuss-von-Albert-und-Charlene-aussagt.htmlBody-language expert Stefan Verra interpreting the wedding kiss: - on first glance: Charlene has eyes closed (=concentrating on sensual feelings) and her face looks relaxed. But she pulls her shoulders up = tension that doesn't fit the relaxed face, as if she tries to protect herself. Albert has his eyes open ! and is looking behind her shoulder as if there was someone standing behind her. Albert has a big desire to gain more information about her background. Or as if he was looking on a clock: how long does this need to last?! Not relaxed. Their hands and arms hang just down - very passive, non of them seems envolved. True love looks different.

O.K. ... I'm back ... it's like watching a traffic accident! A few more thoughts: 1.) what the hell was Fat Al doing in the off-white uniform? he looked like a member of the wait staff 2.) what the hell was that Africaans song thing? A bit too jazzy after the semi-solemnity of the ceremony? 3.) I'm guessing that Daddy Warbucks forgot to lift her veil up off her face??/ 4.) Dontella must be dumb as a rock -- didn't take Trampolina's bouquet during the marriage ceremony ... if I remember correctly, Trampolina had to switch the bouquet from one hand to the other. Didn't these people practice? I've got to find pictures of the post-ceremony stuff that I missed ... One more thought for our esteemed Administrator --- do we really need to refer to her as Princess Charlene? Jeez ...

She just realized she looked like a complete fool and the Queen of all Gold diggers in front of Monegasques and other Royals who were duped to come to this village street fair.

LOL RP I forgot about the surprises they kept raving on about. There was nothing, absolutely nothing special about this wedding, apart from one tenor, but I would have rather gone to hear him perform in a regular concert. Probably would have had better acoustics too. That famous carpet looked actually tacky, especially when seen from a distance. good luck auctioning that off. If I remember correctly on their way back from St Devote they were supposed to go a different way then when coming. Apparently they thought there would be more people, but since there wasn't they went past the same crowd twice. And all the way down they were waving to no existing people. They looked like people who lost their marbles and talk to non existing people. That was so pathetic and showed so much what Monaco is like today. I think a lot of people will look at these pics and not be amused. Especially those who know in what trouble Monaco is. Lucky for trashy that she will be made honorary citizen of Beausoleil in September. At least she will have somewhere to go when she and her husband get kicked out. I'm sure she won't mind that it's the poorest of the adjoining communities and people were having their usual street fights while she was getting married.

Also she did not walk in behind her and helping her, she walked in with husband and kids way ahead. What sort of bridesmaid does that?
