If there’s anything the royal family knows how to do, it’s throw a lavish wedding, such as the soon-to-come Prince William & Kate Middleton wedding. The long awaited engagement has been a buzz among the English (and the world) population, but the date has officially been set for April 29, 2011.
The extravagant spring wedding will be held at the historical Westminster Abbey with approximately 2,200 people. It is estimated that the wedding will cost the British economy £5 billion, since businesses will have to shut down for consecutive four-day weekends for the event.
"We know that the world will be watching on April 29, and the couple is very, very keen indeed that the spectacle should be a classic example of what Britain does best. Prince William and Catherine have made it very clear that they wish everybody to be able to enjoy the day with them. Consequently, the day will be a proper celebration for the nation and the realms."
