Royal Wedding Hysteria


This friday is a date that will go down in history. According to most, it is the wedding of the century. This Friday, April 29th, Kate Middleton and Prince William of Wales will marry at Westminster Abbey. The media taking advantage of the rich money-making opportunity the wedding provides by plastering a constant stream of details concerning the events on the entertainment shows and tabloid covers.

There are hundreds of questions flying about the public such as,

'What is the menu?'

'Who is invited?'

'Is the wedding going to be 3D?'

However, the most commonly asked question is obviously, 'What is Kate's dress going to look like?'

Well, not much is known about the dress as it has been called "the most closely guarded secret in all of Britain." (No sarcasm!) However, Kate is said to have designed the dress herself with either designer Sophie Cranston or Sarah Burton, creative director of Alexander McQueen. Bruce Oldfield, formerly the frontrunner of the designers thought to be designing the dress, has said, "I'm sure the dress is going to be modest in terms of coverage, you can't walk down Westminster Abbey in a strapless dress--it just won't happen." After all, the church has been one of the most prominent symbols of Britain for over a thousand years.

As of April 25th, palace sources have said, "There will be no more fittings. The next time the dress goes on is Friday morning." Also, like Princess Diana, Catherine, as she was officially dubbed in UK since the wedding announcement, is though to have two dresses. One of the dresses would be the main one while the other would be a backup in case details of the main dress were leaked to the press.
