Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton

The wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton is scheduled to take place at Westminster Abbey on 29 April 2011. Prince William, who is second in the line of succession to Queen Elizabeth II, first met Middleton in 2001, while he and Middleton were studying at the University of St Andrews. Their engagement, on 20 October 2010, was announced on 16 November 2010. After their marriage, the couple intend to continue residing on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales, where Prince William is based as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot.

On 5 January, St James Palace announced that the ceremony would start at 11:00 and that Middleton will arrive at the abbey by car, rather than by carriage - the traditional transport for royal brides. The route will be along The Mall and Whitehall. After the ceremony, the bridal couple will return along the same route by carriage to a reception hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. The Prince of Wales will host a private dinner that evening.
