The British Royal wedding was the wedding of two people in love, truly committed to each other and with deep sense of duty and responsibility. It is a state affair, but they managed to make it feel like a family affair as well...witch it should be in the first place. it was important for Cathrine and William to make it their own day...their wedding day...and it was as grand as it could be but as well a family affair as it should be. This wedding was definitely not about media attention, not about Hollywood circus, not about how many people will be watching around the world, not about tourists and definitely not about economical boost...it was all about Kate and Will. BRAVO!!!

LONDON (AP) -- Tina Lannin, a professional lipreader who was born deaf, caught the private whispers during the royal wedding that television microphones couldn't capture.
Lannin, who has worked for 7 years as a forensic lipreader for police forces and media outlets with O'Malley Communications, picked out comments from Prince William, his bride and Queen Elizabeth II in a partial transcript. Her assessment couldn't be verified.
------
10:20 a.m. -- Prince William: "Looking forward to it." To Harry, "shall we go in then?
Prince Harry: "Sure, everyone has arrived."
William (to Bishop): "Make sure everything's alright. It's beautiful the way it is."
10:25 a.m. -- William to lady in congregation: "You look very pretty, very pretty."
10:55 a.m. -- Michael Middleton to Kate Middleton as they left hotel: "You okay?"
11:00 a.m. -- Pippa Middleton to sister Kate: "You look amazing."
Michael Middleton to Kate Middleton as they entered Westminster Abbey: "You okay?"
Kate Middleton to her father: "Yeah."
11:05 a.m. -- Kate to Bishop before walking down the aisle: "Yes I suppose so ... I expect I'll be worn out today. Thank you."
Harry to William: "Right, here she is now."
William to Middleton at the altar: "You look lovely ...(unclear)... You look beautiful."
William joking to Michael Middleton: "We're supposed to have just a small family affair."
12:00 a.m. -- Queen Elizabeth II to Prince Philip: "It was excellent."
Prince Philip: "Yes?"
12:15 a.m. -- William to Kate Middleton: "Alright?"
Kate Middleton: "Yes."
William: "Wish I was out."
Kate Middleton: "I'm beginning to find (unclear)."
William: "Yeah, alright." Hands bouquet to Kate after they climb aboard their carriage, "here you are."
Kate Middleton: "Thank you."
Kate Middleton: "Now, are you happy?"
William: "Yes ... (unclear conversation) ... wave to everybody."
Outside abbey -- queen: "I wanted them to take the smaller carriage."
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: "It all went very well."
Queen: "Very well."
In wedding carriage -- William: "I don't think you should bow quite yet. I think you should just bow your head, okay?"
Kate Middleton: "Okay."
William: "I hope I remember ... It's mad, it's mad! Oh my goodness it ... really loudly here (unclear) these people are clapping."
Kate Middleton: "Did they?"
William: "I think so. I went out here the first (unclear)."
In separate carriage -- Prince Charles: "Yeah it looked nice."
Camilla: "Yes, but you have to know how to do it."
In wedding carriage -- Kate Middleton to William: "You look happy."
1:30 p.m -- On Buckingham Palace balcony, Kate Middleton: "Oh wow."
William: "Alright? You'll be okay?"
Kate Middleton: "Oh I'm fine, thank you."
William: "Yeah! Yeah! There's a lot of people down here." To pageboys, "I know but look up there as well." To his bride: "Okay? Look at me, let's kiss, okay."
William, shouting balcony: "Harry! Your go!"
Kate Middleton: "What's next?"
William: "They want more time I think."
William shouting across balcony, possibly to Camilla: "You could have brought up (unclear) as well."
Camilla: "Oh, very heavy."
William: "Just do a bit of everything. Do you like the balloons (unclear) they go up in the air."
Kate Middleton: "Look at these people."
William: "I want to see the plane, I think I'm (unclear)."
William to Harry: "Okay."
William to pageboys: "...to stop them coming in here, to stop them coming in this side, I mean it's hard."
William to Kate Middleton: "One more." The couple they kiss for a second time. "That's it, come on!"

Actually, I think the shrug looks good on her. It sort of mimics the white Ermine royals used to wear. The dress to me is a version of the wedding dress, but with some bling at the waist and strapless. I liked it on her. Karma Creative for the lip reader translations!

Are the royals going to be at this reception or is it just for close family and friends? (sorry for the stupid question)

This outfit is just awful. It looks like one of those outfits her parents might sell for their company Party Pieces - those cheap princess party or Halloween costume. Just awful!

I've just read in another board that is just for friends.

More about the hats. For me, Charlene hat looks the cheapest, but I'll bet anything her hat probably cost the most. (From top L) Victoria Beckham, Princess Letizia, Charlene Wittstock, the fiancee of Prince Albert II of Monaco, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Britain's Queen Elizabeth, Anne, the Princess Royal, Queen Margrethe of Denmark, Queen Sofia of Spain, Carole Middleton, Kate's mother, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall arrive for the wedding ceremony of Prince William and Kate Middleton in London on April 29, 2011.

I thought the second outfit was a more relaxed and fun version of the wedding dress.
