There were hundreds of millions of people around the world in front of their TVs and computers. They were all ready to watch the exciting celebrations. The streets of London were also crowded with over a million people. The wedding planner for the big day was Lady Elizabeth Anson. Lady Elizabeth often plans parties for celebrities, so the results weren’t surprising. It was a huge success! The wedding was at Westminster Abbey in London and there were many important people from all over the world. Kate, in a long white dress, was beautiful. After the wedding, there was a lunch at Buckingham Palace. In the evening, there was a party for the family and friends. First, there was a dinner with traditional British food and delicious desserts including ice cream and tiny cakes. There were also two types of wedding cake – fruit and chocolate. After the tasty meal, there was dancing until 3.00 in the morning. Weddings of kings, queens, princes and princesses sometimes start new wedding traditions.
