Interesting how the Daily Mail are now billing Charlene and Albert's wedding as one which will eclipse Kate and William's: ONLY 2 MONTHS AFTER they billed W&K's as the "wedding of the century".  A prime example of the fickle hype in which the media participates.  It was daft at the time to bill their wedding as such given the number of weddings of billionaires and royals who will be marrying over the next few years/decades which will no doubt be spectacular shows of power, wealth, pomp and pageantry.  Not to mention the exclusion of magnificent weddings which will not make it to the headlines because the people are not celebrities.  Anyway....

The first picture of Charlene HERE is simply THE most spectacularly stunning portrait I have ever seen of any royal/celebrity.  It's utterly incredible!

I'm rather looking forward to seeing the pictures and footage of this ceremony.  I like the way it has received attention but hasn't been over-hyped or saturating the media.  It's been a perfect balance until this point (unlike W&K's which felt like overload).  The location, architecture and scenery is just going to be out of this world, you can just predict.  I hope Charlene's dress is modern with a hint of a classic cut: it would be nice to see the modern woman and the modern institution  reflected throughout the wedding in the choice of dress and setting.

 :blink: why would she annul?  What an odd rumour/report to have started to circulate.

Orchid :notworthy:

The problem is, the news and entertainment industry like to overuse hyperbole.  Every election is "The most important"  every wedding is "of the century" They really need to dial back, because they make themselves look like fools when they do this.

I think Charlene's dress will be simple, but elegant.  I can't see her in something big and poofy, like Kate.  Kate looked very fairy-tale princess-y, and I think that Charlene will look like a goddess

Right back at ya, Lothwen!   :notworthy: .... 'Hyperbole' is the perfect word to describe the press in all aspects pertaining to royal coverage.  The Daily Mail is the worst offender.  I often wonder why we link to that paper as often as we do.

I think you're spot on. Charlene will likely go for a sleek, "Venus" style dress: something modern, sexily subdued and awe inspiring yet with a slight classic twist.   Kate's dress was very pretty (it was a shame that the best feature - the embroidery - was lost on camera) but it was virtually a copy of Princess Grace's dress which consequently showed little imagination or spectacle in my eyes (subjective of course).  It was quite low key and safe.  I hope Charlene's dress provides a more ravishing and unexpected spectacle in step with the surroundings and opulence that will be on show.

Well well well. I never knew she was African.  What planet have I been living on? :blush:

This article probably explains the annulment article above. I like Charlene a lot but something is not right

Actually, I read the same in the Huffington Post earlier this morning.  I'll see if I can find the article again.
