Well done on your view ithink, we all need someone in this life i hope they
are happy together.

fancy hats are worn here for special occassions, and by the odd woman
as a fashion statement/accessory. some people just don't/can't carry
off wearing a hat, while others look fantastic. baseball caps are the
most common summer head gear, with hoods and wooly touques for winter.

i thought camilla's civil ceremony dress was rather bland, and her hat
was okay..but wow!!! i loved her blessing dress/over coat..the colour
was beautiful, and the flow of the gown was incredible. the feather
tiara was nice as long as you caught it at the right angle.

i've always been a charles fan, and not much of a diana fan. although i
do think her death was tragic and preventable. that ambulance just
tooooooooooook to darn long to go what less than 5 kilometers..over an
hour..pfft.

but..back to chas and millie..if his uncle had not advised him to go
sew his wild oats..he would have married camilla way back when..it's
about time they did it...and i'm extremely irked with all the royal
wedding reviews of chuck and di...how rude!!!

ask yourself, how would you feel if you were getting married for a
second time, and everyone you knew was watching your first marriage
videos..very, very poor programming taste.

i'm looking forward to king charles and queen camilla in about 20-25
years...and they are going to be soooo old..those who are opposed to
that statement..relax..coz chuck won't be king for long..his middle
aged son william will replace him within a decade...and most of the
furour over lady di will be long forgotten...the big royal fanfare will
be over who william marries, and what a darling bride he has chosen..

it is also important to remember the public has short memories..and
most of us will be having so many senior moments we won't know if we
are here and now..or visiting back then. life goes on.
