Thank you @Afairweather, for tweeting this.

Well, don’t know about you, but I’d hoped for Shakespeare.

“10:20 a.m. – Prince William: “Looking forward to it.” To Harry, “shall we go in then?

Prince Harry: “Sure, everyone has arrived.”

William (to Bishop): “Make sure everything’s alright. It’s beautiful the way it is.”

10:25 a.m. – William to lady in congregation: “You look very pretty, very pretty.”

10:55 a.m. – Michael Middleton to Kate Middleton as they left hotel: “You okay?”

11:00 a.m. – Pippa Middleton to sister Kate: “You look amazing.”

Michael Middleton to Kate Middleton as they entered Westminster Abbey: “You okay?”

Kate Middleton to her father: “Yeah.”

11:05 a.m. – Kate to Bishop before walking down the aisle: “Yes I suppose so … I expect I’ll be worn out today. Thank you.”

Harry to William: “Right, here she is now.”

William to Middleton at the altar: “You look lovely …(unclear)… You look beautiful.”

William joking to Michael Middleton: “We’re supposed to have just a small family affair.”

12:00 a.m. – Queen Elizabeth II to Prince Philip: “It was excellent.”

Prince Philip: “Yes?”

12:15 a.m. – William to Kate Middleton: “Alright?”

Kate Middleton: “Yes.”

William: “Wish I was out.”

Kate Middleton: “I’m beginning to find (unclear).”

William: “Yeah, alright.” Hands bouquet to Kate after they climb aboard their carriage, “here you are.”

Kate Middleton: “Thank you.”

Kate Middleton: “Now, are you happy?”

William: “Yes … (unclear conversation) … wave to everybody.”

Outside abbey – queen: “I wanted them to take the smaller carriage.”

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: “It all went very well.”

Queen: “Very well.”

In wedding carriage – William: “I don’t think you should bow quite yet. I think you should just bow your head, okay?”

Kate Middleton: “Okay.”

William: “I hope I remember … It’s mad, it’s mad! Oh my goodness it … really loudly here (unclear) these people are clapping.”

Kate Middleton: “Did they?”

William: “I think so. I went out here the first (unclear).”

In separate carriage – Prince Charles: “Yeah it looked nice.”

Camilla: “Yes, but you have to know how to do it.”

In wedding carriage – Kate Middleton to William: “You look happy.”

1:30 p.m – On Buckingham Palace balcony, Kate Middleton: “Oh wow.”

William: “Alright? You’ll be okay?”

Kate Middleton: “Oh I’m fine, thank you.”

William: “Yeah! Yeah! There’s a lot of people down here.” To pageboys, “I know but look up there as well.” To his bride: “Okay? Look at me, let’s kiss, okay.”

William, shouting balcony: “Harry! Your go!”

Kate Middleton: “What’s next?”

William: “They want more time I think.”

William shouting across balcony, possibly to Camilla: “You could have brought up (unclear) as well.”

Camilla: “Oh, very heavy.”

William: “Just do a bit of everything. Do you like the balloons (unclear) they go up in the air.”

Kate Middleton: “Look at these people.”

William: “I want to see the plane, I think I’m (unclear).”

William to Harry: “Okay.”

William to pageboys: “…to stop them coming in here, to stop them coming in this side, I mean it’s hard.”

William to Kate Middleton: “One more.” The couple kiss for a second time. “That’s it, come on!”

If someone had cared to eavesdrop on my own wedding they would have heard this:

Me: “Quick, quick, the rabbi isn’t looking.”

Bridesmaid: “Where’s the bloody Grapefruit Schnappes? Here you go.”

Me: (Unclear.)

Bridesmaid: “Steady on, old thing. Leave some for me!”

Etc.

People in Glass Houses (if not glasss carriages) should not throw stones.

I prefer to look at the world like Hang Swee Lim…For both their sakes I hope they also hit the schnappes before what must have been a crazy day!

How mundane!

I agree with Nina – let me be oblivious to the truth. I’ll keep on believing it to be a true fairytale.

Urgh it would be my NIGHTMARE to be KM. All those cameras, the horrible old-fashioned dress, the pressure, the manners, the smiling and waving no matter what kind of day you’ve had, the wearing of stockings at all times in the Palace, having every single minute of my life scheduled. A prematurely bald equine-looking hubbie with a latent ginger gene. Not exactly my dream life.
