The whole London is busy rehearsing for the big day as Prince William and his longtime college sweetheart Catherine ‘Kate’ Middleton, are just a day away to another fairy tale, where a Prince sweeps a simple girl off her feet to live happily ever after. May the latter infinitive follow the nuptials impending tomorrow morning? With the wedding route being sniffed every passing second, Westminster Abbey under heavy floristry, Clarence House smiling secretively, Buckingham Palace set for a balcony kiss and every London house all thrilled to line up the streets, regalia seem floating in the air.
The whole world is eyeing the Royal Wedding – rife with gossips, comparisons, anticipations, excitement and grandeur. The dreamy college romance turning into the most talked about wedding of the recent times has caught the fancy of every commoner around the world. With the publications, comparing Diana with Kate – from their dresses and rings to demeanor, revealing Prince Harry’s bestman speech and Kate’s maid of honor’s jitters, the wedding frenzy is shooting up with ticking second.
Kate’s wedding dress is an object of speculation with the names like Sarah Button of Alexander McQueen and Alice Temperley doing the rounds. But nothing is confirmed by now, surprises are there about the Kate’s train – 25 feet or 2500– 10000 pearls or more. Comparisons are rife with Diana’s puff ball meringue wedding dress, with huge puffed sleeves and a frilly neckline. Fingers are crossed, one thing sure it couldn’t be Elizabeth and David Emanuel!
Kate’s wedding dress sent the world under bewilderment but William’s outfit has proved less exciting to the tabloids. He is expected to wear his Royal Air Force uniform, there’s only one question, really: will his jacket be red or blue? Now, as far as ring is concerned, Kate is wearing one of Welsh gold, was given to Prince William by The Queen shortly after the couple were engaged whereas Prince Williams will be seen in signet ring.
The youngest four bridesmaids will be wearing Nicki Macfarlane. The designer dresses have been made exclusively from silk, satin, organza, taffeta and chiffon with the bridesmaid’s name embroidered inside. Milliner Phillip Treacy has designed many of the hats to be worn at the royal wedding by the guests including the Duchess of Cornwall, Princess Beatrice, Lady Gabriella Winsor and the Duchess of Kent – as well as celebrity guests including Victoria Becham.
