In the best music direction I have ever seen for this show, the fresh start of The Royal Wedding put the spotlight on the other lead. Instead of appearing alongside Serena to Peter, Bjorn & John‘s Young Folks, the very first song to be played on the series, we are witness to a matured Blair and a cover of the song. Clever, indeed, GG.
Kicking things off with a stellar Breakfast at Tiffany’s/Marilyn Monroe number and Wallace Shawn bellowing, “Hey, she’s here - the princess bride!” we knew this episode would max out on flair. And what event would be complete without Georgina Sparks barking up someone’s tree on a rampage for payback?
Then Chuck almost stopped the wedding, but no cigar, er Holly Golightly’s cigarette holder. Turns out Louis is a better actor at acting than he has appeared all season, regarding his confession that the marriage is a fabrication. Ironically, he broke this to her during their first dance, while their private symphony was playing a rendition of Pat Benatar‘s We Belong.
Later, Blake Lively had to choke out the words “I love you, Dan Humphrey. Always have, always will.” to ex Penn Badgley and all the little fangirls in the Western hemisphere crossed their fingers for celebrity makeup sex.
But will B just end up stealing Humphrey too, along with S‘s first song and dance routine? Guess we’ll have to wait and hear imitation Gossip Girl’s reports on that one…
