What sort of pop culture writer would I be if I didn't talk about the royal wedding?Perhaps the biggest event since the last royal wedding-Charles to Diana, before some of us were even born-the wedding of Kate Middleton to Prince William on April 29 was a high-class, star-studded affair full of celebrities, royalty and fancy hats.

For those of us who didn't get up at four in the morning (our time) to watch the wedding, here's what you missed: The bride wore a gorgeous wedding gown designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen and was escorted into Westminster Abbey by her father. Her sister Pippa followed behind her, holding up the end of her 8-foot, 10-inch train.

Following the nuptials, William and Kate headed up to the balcony for a very public first kiss-cameras caught Kate's shocked "Oh, wow!" as she saw the waiting crowds. The couple then took an even more public open-carriage ride to Buckingham Palace for what this writer can only assume was a pretty rocking party, even if there was no hard alcohol to be found.

Queen Elizabeth II bestowed the new couple with the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Celebrities in attendance to the wedding included Elton John and his partner, David and Victoria Beckham, Joss Stone, Guy Ritchie (you know-Madonna's ex) and a slew of royals, both foreign and British. The Craziest Hat Award, in my humble opinion, goes to Princess Beatrice of York, whose pink hat looked like something Lady Gaga might wear out to a casual dinner-ridiculous, but still somehow tasteful, in a weird, crooked sort of way.

Stories from the reception have been trickling in from various news sources, including Charles' wedding toast (featuring what I've heard was an adorable story about Prince William crashing a pedal car), Prince Harry playing tour guide to a busload of wedding guests and the couple taking their first dance to "Your Song," performed by Elton John himself.

The highlight of the night came when the disc jockey played the Beatles hit, "All You Need is Love," and Prince Harry led the guests in a chant of "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah," much to the surprise of William and Kate. Tears and hugs abounded.

It was a fairy tale affair, and Kate-now Her Royal Highness Princess William of Wales-now becomes one of the most-watched women in the world. For the rest us, though-well, there's always Harry!
