William and Kate are engaged!

Now, I'm not particulalry into the royal family, but i confess I'm a little excited about this.

So, discuss!!

What sort of dress do you think she'll wear? Will the wedding be very MSE? (i doubt it!) What colours?

Fun fun!

  • Trivial Prince William Fact - I share his birthday, my parents got married the same year as his parents... and I'm getting married the same year as him!

    I saw this. It said they would marry either srping or summer- best not be March 25th- don't want them detracting from my day ;)

    I think the dress will be relatively simple compared to past royal wedding dresses.

    I'd sooooo be sulking! I wouldn't want people thinking I picked that day because there was a royal wedding!

    Anyone think that suppliers might put their prices up?

    Maybe something like this http://www.weddingdressesshop.co.uk/blog/2010/08/all-about-wedding-dresses/

    but definitely not like this (you need to scroll down)http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1058313/School-City-Author-pen-Carrie-Bradshaws-teen-diaries.html :eek:

    I would not be surprised if venues had a special deal as if they are not booked people might not book that day now? How many people will watch it on tv i wonder or turn up wherever for a glimpse?

    I bet she goes for some plain classic dress.

    Well, if a newbie pops up in the next few weeks saying they got engaged on holiday in Kenya recently, and are looking for MSE ideas for their wedding in London next year - oh, and the budget's 500 grand, that might be a give away... :D

  • I bet some top designer makes one just for her, and i bet next summer everyone will be wearing copies of it!
