BUCKINGHAM Palace officials yesterday revealed some details about the upcoming royal wedding, announcing that Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will marry Prince William and Kate Middleton when they tie the knot on April 29.
Prince Charles' representatives said the wedding ceremony at Westminster Abbey will begin at 11am, kicking off a day of pomp and ceremony on what will be a national holiday throughout the United Kingdom.
The newly released information sheds light on the official wedding plans, which will see the newlyweds emerge from Westminster Abbey to ride in a carriage in a gala procession to Buckingham Palace.
The route, which will take them through the heart of ceremonial London, is expected to be lined with a huge crowd hoping for a glimpse of the royal couple. The carriage will go through Parliament Square, Whitehall, Horse Guards Parade and the Mall.
On arrival at Buckingham Palace, the couple plan to make a brief public appearance on the main balcony.
"We're hoping obviously for a balcony appearance and a kiss on the balcony," royal commentator Dickie Arbiter told Sky News.
Once they retreat inside the palace, the newlyweds will be the guests of honor at a reception hosted by William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The reception guest list has not been released, but palace officials said it will be drawn from members of the wedding congregation who make up both the couple's official and private lives.
The wedding update clears up many important questions about the schedule but leaves many more questions still open to speculation.
High on the list are which designer will make Middleton's wedding gown and which celebrities will be guests.
