I think Kate looked perfect. Her dress was very timeless and very reminiscent of Princess Grace of Monaco. Kate looked exactly the way we hoped she would when she walked out of her car. – Alison McGill, Weddingbells Magazine. 

Simply lovely! Kate Middleton’s traditional, elegant gown was designed by Sarah Burton, creative director of Alexander McQueen. Its design elements may have been inspired by Princess Grace’s dress by Helen Rose, an Academy-award MGM costume designer who also made wedding gowns for actresses Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, and  Jane Powell.

Anne Shirley: You know something, Diana? We are rich. We have sixteen years to our credit, and we both have wonderful imaginations. We should be as happy as queens.

Anne Shirley: Look at that. You couldn’t enjoy its loveliness more if you had ropes of diamonds.

The sari’s radiance, vigor and variety, produced by a single straight length of cloth, should give us in the West pause and make us think about the zipper, the dart and the shoulder pad. – Naveen Patnaik

The sari is the most elegant dress for women bar none.

I’ll be the way I was when I first met him. Then maybe he’ll like me again. I was always sweet, at first. Oh, it’s so easy to be sweet to people before you love them. – from the story A Telephone Call by Dorothy Parker

We pine and opine about true love but very few of us have ever really experienced it.

What is the victory of a cat on a hot tin roof?
Just staying on it I guess, as long as she can.

She walks in beauty,
Like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Lord Byron
