Posts Tagged ‘Royal Wedding’

Everyone is talking about it – the royal marriage of Prince William and his fiancée Kate Middleton which is going to take place April 29 of 2011. After proposing the Kate while on holiday in Kenya using his mother’s engagement ring, the world sat in anticipation, learning as much as they can about the soon-coming nuptials. The morning ceremony will take place at the esteemed Westminster Abbey, where after, they will be driven, by a carriage procession, to Buckingham Palace. This will provide the public with a great opportunity to see the newly married couple. At the palace, a reception will be waiting for them, hosted by Prince William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Why is everyone so excited for this royal wedding to take place? It is the story the world has been on the edge of their seat for. In a family history marred with sadness and loss, this is the one event that will renew the hope in this royal family for the next generations to come. This wedding is one of fairy tales as Kate will be the first middle-class Queen-in-waiting as she has no titles or any ties to royal lineage. Kate will also be the oldest female to marry the future King of England at the age of 29.

The marriage of William and Kate is a slight break in the normal tradition of royal weddings. For example, instead of traveling to Westminster Abbey by carriage as well, they selected to arrive by car and only use the royal carriage on their return journey as husband and wife. Both have stated that they wanted to find a good blend between the public and private spheres during their nuptials. They wanted to merge modern with traditional, but also keeping in mind that the world is going through tough times economically at this moment. However, although this couple is sensitive to the current plight and do want to avoid ostentatious details as well as conspicuous consumption, the monarchy has been given leeway for some pomp and circumstance. So even with the understanding about the economy, it is doubtful that this couple will have an inexpensive wedding.

Many individuals around the world are discussing the details of the wedding. Questions have been asked on which designer Kate will select to make her wedding gown. The gown that Diana dress in to her wedding with Prince Charles was one of the most copied wedding gowns throughout history, therefore, this dress can be nothing less than spectacular. Also speculated about are the famous individuals who are going to be invited to the wedding. There have been rumors that the first family of the United States, the Obama’s, will actually not be invited to attend the wedding event. However, it has also been speculated that world-famous pop star, Sir Paul McCartney will be performing at the wedding.

Just like the wedding of his parents, Prince Charles and Diana in 1981, where more than 750 million individuals sat staring at their television screen, the whole wedding will be broadcasted on television. And now that televisions are a lot more accessible than they were in 1981, this wedding is said to exceed this number. The British Broadcasting Corporation, the BBC, is going to be leading the broadcast of this momentous event.
