The live coverage of the Royal Wedding was suppose to start at 4 a.m. in the U.S. on the 29th of April, 2011 and I was also suppose to watch it. But the idea of waking up early in the morning was so depressing, that I made myself happy by watching a repeat telecast at 9 a.m. @ CNN.
The Royal Wedding Hysteria, as it is called; started right from the day when Prince William announced his engagement with Kate Middleton on the 16th of November, 2010. And since that day on, I kept myself updated with all the news related to their wedding and of-course, their pictures together. I read uncountable articles about them, right from finding out where they met, how long they dated to what Kate will wear for the wedding. It has been a long learning curve, as i can say. So, if am asked to summarize this whole thing, I would say; it was, 'A meeting in St. Andrews led to eight years of on & off dating which further led to marriage with her Prince Charming and they lived happily ever after'.
Well, it definitely sounds short, but it took awful long time of eight years for them to decide to get married. And finally, when they did, they did in style. The whole world was glued to their seats to watch the telecast of the wedding which lasted for three hours. It was surely, the most awaited event this year.
It was a fairytale wedding, with the handsome Prince William and the Beautiful Bride Catherine walking hand in hand down the aisle, with the music playing. Kate looked stunning in her wedding gown and William looked like a gentleman waiting for his bride. And when they came out of the church as 'Man & Wife', the crowd went crazy. The second appearance on the balcony was greeted with even more cheer and the kisses sealed the show.
The pictures came out right away, and I must have seen those fifty times by now. And especially, the official portraits which looked perfect.
Well, now that the wedding is over, as its been almost a week; things have come back to normalcy. There are no more new pictures or updates on the Royal couple and the latest news of 'Osama's death' has taken over all the media space for a while now, more-so in the States.
Though the news has died out, the images of the grand wedding will forever stay etched in our minds. It was, no doubt, the wedding of the century.
