It was later announced that Prince Williams the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II had purposed to Kate during a romantic trip to Kenya in October 2010.

The build up to the royal wedding was dramatic and immense; many had labelled Kate Middleton as a Commoner who was marrying into Royalty, the dream of every girl is to be a princess, however ‘The Middletons’ had no idea that this dream would become a reality.

Despite all oppositions and blessings the couple were set and determined to wed. It was later announced that Prince Williams had given all British residents an extra holiday on the day of the Royal Wedding; meaning that all UK residents could comfortably enjoy watching the event and could make effective plans to celebrate the royal occasion.

This was only the beginning of the hype; as the British public also organised over 5,000 street parties across the UK and thousands uploaded videos onto YouTube wishing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge a remarkable blessed wedding.

The wedding itself was an exquisite short ceremony which was full of Christian faith, hymns, songs of praise and biblical scriptures.
