Top-5 Royal Wedding Moments

I LOVED the Royal Wedding!
I watched all 6 hours and 30 minutes of the CNN coverage, and loved every second of it. It was like watching a real-life fairytale. Seriously, my cheeks hurt I was smiling so much. Now, I could sit here and describe how I loved everything, but I'll spare everyone and just recap my top-5 favorite moments/ details.

1. The double kiss
How cute was that! The first smooch was great, but the second was absolutely adorable! It was fun watching the replay and seeing them both giggle afterwards!
2. The dress
Kate looked beautiful. I think I actually gasped when she finally stepped out of the Rolls and we saw the dress in its entirety. As Piers Morgan said, "I've never seen a more beautiful wedding dress."
3. "The lover's gaze"
If it wasn't apparent enough that these two are so madly in love with each other, the way Will and Kate look at each other says it all. There was one moment in particular when the couple was sitting off to the side during the service, Will was staring at Kate with so much love in his eyes it made my heart melt!
4. Trees in the Abbey
There's no denying that Westminster Abbey is a beautiful church, but the added design element of the trees and flowers inside definitely added to the ambience of a modern affair. It was actually Kate's idea to bring in the trees and later plant them to commemorate the day.
5. A family affair
I thought it was really sweet how the couple tried to incorporate Diana's memory throughout the day, and how everything revolved around uniting the family. This was most evident in the music choices, as Prince Charles helped Kate with the arrangements.
BONUS: Prince Harry
Aside from being a cutie, Prince Harry was so fun to watch throughout the wedding. He seemed so excited for his brother, and it was so cute when he turned back to watch Kate walk down the aisle and mouth "Right, here she is now" to William with a huge smile.
Did you watch? I want to hear about your favorite moments!
