Posted too soon. Also wanted to add that I thought Eugenie looked beautiful.

I didn't wear a veil either, and that was over 30 years ago. It would have hidden the beautiful detailing on the back of the dress if I had done. ?

I see that Fergie is back 'in with the in crowd' again.
I wonder if she will get back with Andrew and we could have another Royal wedding?
Didn't the children look fabulous!

IMHO, wedding veils are an anachronism. I suppose they have been a symbol of the modesty of the bride and it wasn't until the vows had been made and the couple pronounced 'man and wife' that the husband could put aside the veil. 48 years ago, I did have a veil but refused to put it over my face as everyone knew that I wasn't in the least modest! So let's hope that future brides follow Eugenie's example and do away with false modesty.

The train was the long bit at the back of the dress.
Yes, it was.

Yes I've since read that. Well done her.

It was a BBC news commentator that said it was down to the weather as she walked up the steps and they were arranging her train. Presumptious on his part !

Pecs I also heard she wanted her scar to be seen, she had the surgeons who operated on her as guests apparently.

Ooh! thos reporters you just can't trust them! I read she chose not to wear a veil so her scoliosis scar was visible. shock

Beautiful ! I loved the tiara too.
Apparently she was planning to wear a veil but decided not to because it was so windy.

I thought that she looked radiant, she was so happy and her dress was beautiful.

Yes , beautiful dress. Loved the tiara and the simplicity of no veil.

The dress was beautiful, it suited her. She looked lovely.

I've now read Eugenics and Eugene!
Mind you I just posted about autucorrect so can't criticise anyone's fat finger syndrome!

Eugenics ??????

I thought she looked great. She has lost a lot of weight and I really liked her dress, with the flattering shape. No veil, just a tiara keeping it more simple. She looked so happy.
Best of luck to them.
