It seems almost unbelievable that one year ago yesterday was William and Kate’s fairy-tale wedding that brought about pop culture references that will probably be around for the next 50 years or more.
Let’s look at these iconic moments from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding:
1. The Dress
Kate’s dress was shrouded in mystery before the ceremony. The moment she debuted the lace Alexander McQueen designed by Sarah Burton, her dress became the standard for wedding dress fantasies. It was displayed at Buckingham Palace for a while after the wedding, but now is out of the public eye, a treasure for Kate to keep to herself.
2. Pippa’s train
Was the photographer just trying to get a picture of Kate’s train? Either way, Pippa certainly stepped out into the spotlight that day, launching an American obsession with both her booty and her personal style.
3. The cray hats
It could be argued that William’s cousins and their crazy hats almost created more buzz than Kate’s dress! Not going to lie, I kind of love them. Similar hats may or may not be required for my own wedding.
4. This cute picture
Royal tradition dictated that William and Kate have their first kiss as a married couple on the balcony, and it became a moment to remember, but let’s be real: that poor crying bridesmaid stole the show.
What is your favorite memory from the royal wedding?

Pippa’s ass is really overrated. :-S Did love Kate’s dress though, and I’m a sucker for ridiculous fashion, so the hats too.

That family really could benefit from some contribution of Kate’s genes.
I loved Kate’s dress, and the picture of them kissing always makes me smile.

The dress. She looked really beautiful, classy and timeless. And the little girl pouting is pretty darn cute, too.

I’m probably the only one that didn’t watch it.

My highlights? A day off class, an excuse to drink and an extra day to finish the essay I hadn’t started and that was due the next day.

@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - it was a great day for fashion!
@Digital_Angel21@xanga - are you talking about the Royal family? I always thought Prince Harry was cute
@babybug329@xanga - agreed!
@o0_Gina_0o@xanga - lol I actually did not watch it live
@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - that sounds fantastic!

@shelby - He is. But William was too until lost all his hair. Diana was beautiful, so maybe Harry won’t turn funky looking like William. My comment was more directed toward some of their cousins. More specifically, something about both William’s and Beatrice’s teeth irks me.

@Digital_Angel21@xanga@shelby - the problem with the Royal Family is inbreeding – they all marry into the upper classes and all the upper classes in England are related in some way, lol. So as they keep marrying the gene pool shrinks. It’s happened in the Royal families right across Europe, and a few monarchs and princes have really suffered bad defects due to inbreeding.
