The British Royal Wedding: Prince William and Kate Middleton
Westminster Abbey, London, UK
Friday, 29 April 2011
Prince William, second in the British line of succession to Queen Elizabeth II, married his longtime girlfriend Catherine "Kate" Middleton in a lavish ceremony at the Westminster Abbey in London, England on Friday, April 29, 2011.
Prince William has been dating Kate since 2001. The couple got engaged during a holiday in Kenya on October 2010. Before leaving on the trip, William took her late mother's 18-carat oval sapphire and diamond engagement ring from a royal safe and used Diana's ring when he popped the question to Kate.

Kate Middleton Wedding Dress
Kate's royal wedding dress was designed by Sarah Burton, creative director of Alexander McQueen. The dress, which appeared to be inspired by Grace Kelly's gown when she wed Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956, featured lace applique over an ivory-colored bodice and skirt, long sleeves, deep-V-neckline, 9-foot train and a gauzy veil held in place by a tiara lent to Kate by the Queen.
