Thoughts?

She looks radiant but I'm not a huge fan of the fishtail shape, plus it makes her look slightier bulkier than she is. They do make a good couple though.

Also, I have to say it . . . . . . . I love Claudia Winkelman, but why does she always wear weird coloured makeup?? I just want to wash her orange face.

Nah. I love weddings. Even Northern weddings are often fine once you've had a few drinks and the shrugs come off

She looks lovely, as does he.

it's a shocking dress, but her hair and makeup is nice.

I like the top half, the fishtail at the bottom is awful not so much.

I love the bms dresses.

They look very happy which is all that matters. I am trying not to slag off wedding dresses anymore unless it's a fame whore as it's mean. I'm not sure my wedding photos would stand up to MN scrutiny.

I think she looks beautiful. She has real sex appeal though, so i think she could get away with quite a lot.

Think she must hate her bridesmaids though - those blue dresses are awful. Very sack like and normally Claudia Winkleman looks beautiful.

It should have been meeeeeeeeee Sad

Sorry, DH.

I love her and (obvs) I love him. I think they look so happy and, although it's not the most flattering dress, VC looks beautiful. I love the BM dresses.

Maybe a bit creeped out by the article where is says how obsessed DM was with VC before they got together.

I think claudia is orange because of the strictly at wembley. I like Victoria, nice to see an unashamedly clever woman in the papers.

Not like me too be so bitchy about a bride, but I think she looks a bit old for that frock.

Overdone hair and makeup too.

I'm sure she speaks very highly of me, however....

I think it's a gorgeous dress, I especially like the lace on her arms. Her hair and makeup is lovely too and she looks all happy and glow-y.

Howeverrrrr, I do think that style of dress isn't hugely flattering on anyone who isn't tall and quite lean looking. I mean, she looks gorgeous, but I reckon that underneath, she's a lot smaller than she looks in the photos.

The top is ok and she does look really beautiful. But WHAT THE FUCK with the bottom?!

Never mind the dress, it's all the frighteningly obsessive unrequited lurve confessions from the groom that have me worried.

I suppose she thinks it's all terribly romantic. But all I see is one huge red flag.

That is a man who imagines his partner to be responsible for all his feelings.

Very unflattering dress shape, but she still manages to look lovely.

She always squeezes herself into some shiny atrocity on Only Connect; I suspect clothes are not her thing.

I wish David Mitchell had got rid of the beard for his wedding.

I bet it was a fabulous do.

I don't like that dress at all. To me it looks old fashioned and dull. But I feel the same about most wedding dresses! And I hate lace, even though I know it is quite 'in'.

I love a good sleb wedding dress slag off as much as the next mumsnetter, but I think she looks absolutely lovely. The dress is really pretty. I like the fact that she looks like herself, hasn't chosen to wear her hair up in some tortured style. I like the fishtail bit of the dress as well.

David Mitchell, on the other hand, looks like he needs a good scrub, shave and hairbrush. Scruffy article.

They do look happy though, don't they.

I don't like the dress, just not very flattering and not very interesting. For once I much prefer the groom's outfit!

I think she's lovely, and have been saying that those two should get married for years so feel vindicated.

Can only imagine the wedding speeches - Robert Webb, David Mitchell and Victoria Coren - arguably the best speech line up of any wedding ever - if only her father had been there too Sad.

And what a weird day for Claudia. I can imagine the AIBU/S&B posts. "I have been asked to be bridesmaid at my best friend's wedding, but I have to compere a complicated TV show in front of a huge live audience in the evening. Can I get squiffy? Will I be able to do my fake tan in the taxi or should I do it before the wedding? Have been asked to say a few words on behalf of the bridesmaids but slightly nervous as groom and best man professional comedians. Don't want to drip feed, so have 3 small children with me and my DSis who will also be there, is a princess"

LOL Dilys, love the AIBU. Don't forget 'have to pretend show is filmed on Sundays so must remember not to make any reference to having come straight from wedding. Or should bride and groom perform first dance at Wembley and get marks out of ten from Len Goodman et al?'

Hope they had a fantastic day.
