'I WILL...'

That's it...the most awaited wedding of the year has taken place! Have you watched it? I have, and it was a really beautiful and moving event. Firstly, we could watch the guests arriving at Wesminster Abbey. There were many members of the royal family, aristocrats and celebrities.  One of the moments everyone waited for was the arrival of Prince William. The groom together with his younger brother, who was also his best man, Prince Harry, were greeting crowds with nods and waving hands while arriving at the church in a car. Prince Harry seemed a little more relaxed than the groom.

The most important guests arrived at the end...Kate's mother, brother, Prince Charles with his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles and of course, Queen Elizabeth II. Everyone waited  impatiently to see the second most prominent person of the day - the bride. Kate's dress was one of the biggest secrets during the preparations for the ceremony. The bride's dress was really stunning - modest, elegant, modern and a bit retro at the same time.
The mass itself accompanied by choirs, organ music and bells was very moving. The bride and the groom took the oath and Kate received her wedding ring. Then the couple returned to Buckingham Palace passing by the most important places in London and waving hands to thousands of people who were waiting in London streets to see them. An hour later the bride and the groom appeared on the palace balcony. By tradition (established by William's mother and father, Princess Diana and Prince Charles), the newly-weds kissed in front of the crowds (twice!). Now they must be having a great time during their wedding reception. Congratulations!
