Dreams do come true!
Not since the announcement of Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s engagement has there been such attention given to a royal wedding. On November 16, news of Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine “Kate” Middleton’s engagement was announced on the official website for the British Monarchy.
“The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton. The wedding will take place in the Spring or Summer of 2011, in London. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.”
Since then, the world has been abuzz about everything from the ring that Price Charles gave his fiancée to the dress that she will be wearing on their wedding day. We learned that Prince William presented Kate with Princess Diana’s Engagement Ring when he proposed. The ring is made from 14 diamonds encircling a sapphire – a gesture he says was very sentimental and important to be sure that his late Mother is part of this significant moment in his life.
The Royal wedding will take place on Friday, April 29, 2011, according to the British Monarchy Twitter. It will take place at Westminster Abbey, the venue for the 1947 wedding of the then Princess Elizabeth, William’s grandmother the Queen. Here’s a look at the *fabulous* sketches created especially for Kate Middleton from couture wedding designers. This is a glimpse into Kate’s world and some of the beautiful gowns that she will have to choose from.
