I thought some parts were actually really important, like the carriage ride afterwards. It's important for both the public and the royal family to engage in that kind of relationship. I was watching the BBC broadcast and they kept mentioning, maybe necessarily, that Kate is (was) a commoner. Her family background consists of, a couple generations ago, miners and airline pilots. And now she's a future Queen (consort). Pretty incredibly once you get your head around it.
The balcony kiss is a little cheesy but the overhead flyby is pretty symbolic.
