April 29, 2011: Prince William & Catherine's Royal Wedding
I remember watching Princess Diana's wedding back in 1981. Now, her oldest son, William, was getting married to Catherine Middleton. This wedding has been in the news for about six months. It was aired on every major network. The wedding ceremony began at 11 a.m. London time, so I got up at 4 a.m. my time, in order to watch the nuptials live. William and Catherine had dated for about 9 years. They had broken up in 2007 for a few months, but then got back together. This was supposed to be the wedding of the century. After the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, they took a carriage ride through the streets of London to Buckingham Palace, where they did their famous kiss. One of the little chubby bridesmaids covered her ears while the military planes flew above the palace. It was quite funny. They had several parties during the day. Although the wedding was played over and over on the news, it still was gorgeous. They estimated that it cost about $40 million.
