DEFINITION: Pomp & Circumstance—Splendid celebration with ceremony and fuss; also, the title of several military marches played at ceremonies.
The title is taken from Act III, Scene III of Shakespeare’s Othello:
Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, th’ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!”
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been watching rerun after rerun of William & Kate’s wedding. I can’t get enough.
Prince William & Princess Kate!
I coveted the THE HATS, Oh My! (Seriously, they are Pure, Sublime Pieces of Art )!
FYI: The Royal Blue Hat created by Phillip Treacy was MY FAaaaVE!
L
And Kate’s Arrival With Her Father!
Britain’s Prince William, left, and his best man Britain’s Prince Harry arriving at Westminster Abbey! ( Hot Dudes, wouldn’t you say?)
The Couple’s Exit!
Their First Kiss was Magic!
THE CAKE ( Classic English FRUIT CAKE) ! 
THE GROOM’S CAKE! ( oohh la la!)
I Read About Kate’s Tiara!
~~~~~The veil is held in place by a Cartier ‘halo’ tiara, lent to Miss Middleton by The Queen. The ‘halo’ tiara was made by Cartier in 1936 and was purchased by The Duke of York (later King George VI) for his Duchess (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother) three weeks before he succeeded his brother as King. The tiara was presented to Princess Elizabeth (now The Queen) by her mother on the occasion of her 18th birthday.
Is that cool, Or What?

“Wait until you see her!!”. Kim, it was so good to see you today. Sometime it would be nice to meet someplace other than the grocery store!
~~~Kim,
xxx
you are a very sweet woman
“Imagine if she tripped over her gown!”
I noticed that devilish look on his face. I swore he was up to something.
~~~Funny! Harry does have the devilish, sexy grin,
doesn’t he? xxxx
Well….according to a lip reader he said…”yep she is here now” or something like that. And William whispered to his father-in-law…”It was supposed to be a simple family affair” What a sweetie…he looked so nervous but still making jokes…loved watching it!
Hi, Monica,
xx
I loved watching it, too.
So romanitc. So beautiful. So Grand.
….And Harry is just as adorable as Will!
Waste of bloody time and money!
Dear, Kopite,
~~~~I know who you are…
and I swear, I shall call the British Embassy and
have your Passport revoked, dude!
You dont’ deserve it!
But I still love you
I think he said something like…Ok, she’s almost here..I love this post!
“Oh, she’s almost here!”
xxx
I like that!!!!
Wasn’t it gorgeous? I loved watching the arrivals and the hats too (I have so many hats at home that I sadly don’t get the chance to wear very much!)
~~~~~~~~~The last time I wore a hat, Lorraine, was at the wedding of my husband’s
xx
sister in England….It was a large & choclate brown. Very Lady Diana.
Yes, the hats were a hit @ the Royal Wedding….did you like Beatirces’?
With all of your travels, I can’t beleive you haven’t worn yours!!!
I know, hats are a bit hard to take in the luggage as they often need a separate box and when you’re travelling and trying to travel light, it’s hard to do (although not impossible
). I didn’t mind her hat. In fact I knew that if I had ever turned up to the wedding I would probably look similar to Beatrice 
~~~Everybody is saying how hideous it was…. but to me,
it was very Lady Gaga Chic Stunning!
Loved it.
~~~And you would look Fab in that hat…. and that’s that.
xx
Great post – well done on putting it together.
Mandy
Thanks, Mandy.
xx
What a pleasure looking at all the photos afterwards
This is the first video that I’ve seen. I don’t watch the news and have only seen glimpses in commercials. Her dress is gorgeous.
I have no idea what Harry said, but he’s a tall drink of water.
Here from the tea party!
“A Tall Drink of Water!!!”
Ohhh, I couldn’t have said that better.
Lovely. Perfect.
~~~~thanks for stopping by, Kimberly!!
I got up and 4:20 am and would not have missed it for the world – a little love filled the world’s air for a while. lovely pics. xx
Yes! Elizabeth.
Some fantasy instead of reality for a while.
Brilliant. Lovely. A fairybook strory.
Luv U xx
Can’t wait until the royal affairs start.
ohhhhhhhhh, Renee,
I hope not.
It’s not like Di and Charles…..I
believe Kate & William R Really in loooove
It was a beautiful wedding. I think people are going to be talking about it for a really long time. My favorite part was kate and her dad driving together to the Abbey.
*kisses* HH
~~~Yes, And her daddy was probabably saying,
“Honey, can you believe that you will be marrying a Prince…And that one
day you might be Queen of England?”
What a Fairy-tale. How Grand. Every little girl’s dream.
xxxx
I have to say, while I love love love Shakespeare – for the love of Pete, I’m an English teacher – I think the hats are totally ridiculous. That one looked looked like something that Medusa wouldn’t have been caught dead in.
I’m glad you enjoyed the pomp and circumstance though.
Definitely better than a circumcision.
~~~~You’re British? What part of England?
xx
Looooove the Brits…Hubby is one….
So I have to.
i adooooooooooore the hats.
They are like Art Sculptures
That was a very cute part…and the only part of the wedding I saw. Lol.
Ashley: I loved Harry’s Grin..
as if he were saying :You Lucky son-of-a B@@##!!!
Thanks for stopping by….love your last post:)
I LOVED her dress. I thought it was elegant and graceful, very classy. And they look so in love!
~~~~~~~You hit it on the head, Blonde Duck,
this couple is in love….unlike Charles & Diana.
What a fairy-tale!!
Beautiful!

He’s saying I have to go to bathroom so bad, I cant wait til this thing is over.
Dad

Excellent post sweetie.
They look so good together and so in love. Great friends too, they kidded each other all the time.
Sigh!
I really wish Harry wouldn’t marry that wicked witch he is with now. Just sayin’.
Toodles!
oooooOh, Harry will not marry her…
Because he shall marry me HA HA
I love Harry…Seriously….what a DOLL XXXX
Kisses Psycho!
