The Royal Wedding: how did we look?

Well even TED is not safe from the royal wedding hype, apologies.

I am a very patriotic Brit traveling Asia and the South Pacific.
Currently based in New Zealand, I watched the Royal wedding in the late evening and fully enjoyed every second of it.

Firstly, I was overwhelmed by the precise, organisation of the entire event.
Secondly, the history and tradition of the occasion made me feel very proud to be British indeed.

*What I am interested in, is the world's perception of Britain after having watched an event such as the royal wedding.

Impressed and awed?
envious even?
pompous bigots?
Britain trying to cling onto greatness?

how did we look?

* I do not want to know if you liked the dress! haha

    May 2 2011: I watched the wedding last night- very belatedly. It really was a lovely event and in a wonderful way- kind of wacky! The pomp and ceremony juxtaposed against the weirder than weird women's hats. This time though the couple at the center of it all appeared to be stable, happy and mature. Good on ya mate!

    Apr 30 2011: It is wonderful,though i do not know much about British traditions ,,i think it is attractive.however, as a Chinese ,i often think about our traditions,if it is known worldwide,if it focused out of my country,and if it can be held like the royal wedding cause this influence in the world ?All the countries do have different but same worth remembering traditions.Bsides ,i wonder if we can make friends?

    It it brings recall of the truth behind and beyond the Archetype named "King" and "Queen" and the relevance these 'consciousness fields' have had on HUman's evolving Consciousness ( on a personal side note ...I have no doubt that Diana saw and is very pleased, therefore bringing closure to the past)

    So I raise a Strongbow to-day and once again praise the wisdom of .. "The King is dead, long live The King"
