Kate & William

If there's anyone out there who doesn't know Kate & William (Prince William & Catherine Middleton), they must be living under the rock. The prince who shared a lot of media spot light together with his well celebrated mother, the late Princess Diana, lives his life under close observation from media and public and has find his soul mate - Catherine Middleton and has decided to tie the knots together in a holy matrimony.

Their engagement announcement only escalated the news coverage, TV reports, magazine pictures, advertisements, and gossip magazines articles about the couple, which in turn boosts the couple and also the British Royal family's image & publicity in public. I'm not a huge fan of British royal family but I have to admit Prince Williams & Kate Middleton makes a lovely couple. One of the Danish magazine named Kate as the new-age Diana, only stronger, smarter & prettier :)






Watching the hour long wedding ceremony of probably the most celebrated couple possibly throughout the British Royal history brings back font memories of the old days for some, I'm sure. Looking at British royal family gather together with prestigious guests, such formal event, I'm not sure I'd enjoy it if I were Kate but I guess it's part of the 'deal' of marrying a prince :)

The Royal wedding certainly brings more benefits to just the royal family. Fashion designers, hotelier, caterer, media, and even small merchants selling souvenirs sure benefit a lot from this wedding. It's a shear pleasure to watch men in official outfits, finely dressed ladies (duchess, countess) with their posh designer clothing, special tailored shoes, matching handbags and accessories, and of course, the large & elaborative hats ladies used to wear in old times.


Look at the magnitude of photographing of the wedding
And the crowd goes wild
  

So in the high spirit of celebration, sharing in the joy of the their union, a sincere wish to the newly wed royal couple, Happily Ever After!!! *with a side note to Prince William: do not follow Charles' foot step ;)
