Prince William and Kate Middleton tie the knot on April 29 by Zuzana Zelenakova

So, the date and location of one of the most anticipated royal weddings is finally set. Prince William will marry his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton on April 29, 2011 in Westminster Abbey. The day, by the way the feast day of St. Catherine of Siena, has already been declared a holiday by the government. The couple decided to follow a long tradition of House of Windsor, for which Westminster Abbey where the most important events, such as burials, coronations and of course weddings (but not the one of Prince William´s parents, Diana and Charles, who were wed in St. Paul´s) took place. Westminster can hold 2,200 people, however, it was chosen despite its size as! it has a certain sense of intimacy reminding of a “parish church.” "We know that the world will be watching on the 29th of April, and the couple are very, very keen indeed that the spectacle should be a classic example of what Britain does best," said William's private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton. It was also stressed that all costs,except for security and transport, will be handled by the Middletons and the royal family. Even though times are tough the happy couple will offer people a great spectacle. "This is a future king and a future queen, this is the most famous young royal in the world, and it will indubitably be compared to his mother's wedding. So for all these reasons, the palace won't want to be seen as downgrading it," says analyst Patrick Jephson. According to him, economizing would only disappoint the masses. Middleton met Prince William at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland, where he graduated in the History of Art. Since then! , she has been a subject of widespread media coverage. Althoug! h the co uple split in 2007 as many newspapers reported the reconciliation followed shortly.
