So the Royal wedding was on Friday April 29, 2011… I bet most of you watched it According to one newspaper about 3 billion people watched worldwide as William and Catherine exchanged vows. All-in-all it was a pretty emotion experience… Let’s just say I cried when Kate started to walk down the aisle with her father… and 4 minutes later I cried again as she FINALLY got to Will at the alter.
…BUT enough of the mushy crap. Let’s talk about the dress.
For me the dress was more than perfect. It was simple and classic and elegant and grand… basically Kate looked like a princess (as every girl should on their wedding day). I can’t say that Kate looked over done, too fashion-forward, or haute (no girl should look like this on their wedding day).
HOWEVER, after my bragging about how fantastic she looked my boyfriend only had one word for her attire “boring.” WHAT? That is right, boring, he said. My only explanation for this is that men think wedding dresses are all boring until it is their bride, their wife-to-be, is walking toward him down an aisle. A wedding dress should ALWAYS be an express of yourself. You should look like yourself on your wedding, a more polished version of yourself. You will probably be boring to most people who don’t know you (as if people who don’t know you will see you on your wedding day), but to the Man waiting for you at the end of the aisle and all the close friends and family celebrating that day with you will look just as you should, perfect and you!
*Okay just to be fair my boyfriend, after he called her dress “boring,” he put down the paper and added “It looks like the wedding dress from the Godfather, Godfather I.” HaHa boys!
