The Royal Wedding
Under cool, gray skies billions watched from outside Westminster Abbey and on television worldwide as 1900 invited guests inside witnessed as Prince William and his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton were married in one of the largest events in London in decades. A little over an hour after they arrived at the Abbey to be married, the couple emerged on a red carpet and onto the streets to a peal of bells and into a horse-drawn carriage, heading toward Buckingham Palace. The prince had married what the British call a commoner; now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (titles granted by Queen Elizabeth II). The couple stepped out onto a balcony a short time later to greet the enormous crowd along the Mall - a tradition at royal weddings. They kissed for the first time in public as a married couple as a cheer went up from the crowd. -- Paula Nelson (36 photos total)

Parásitos del Estado.
happily ever after...
Nice photos.. Good job Boston Globe!
so how much money did the UK government spend on this? i thought the state was cash-strapped when it comes to schools & social services. but there's always money for senseless wars in Afghanistan / Libya and ego-stroking weddings, i suppose
GORGEOUS pictures. Such a lovely wedding - the Brits know how to put on a show! Best wishes to this very handsome royal couple and thanks for the fun diversion!
Great photos..
It was the father of the modern British constitution, the 19th-century essayist Walter Bagehot, who once wrote "a royal family sweetens politics by the seasonable addition of nice and pretty events".
The wedding didn't interest me, but the photography simply blew my mind!
Beautiful pictures, beautiful wedding.
So many collections of pictures of this event. This is one of the finest . . . well done!
Three laughing policeman! priceless!
AMAZINGGGGGG
You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep
because reality is finally better than your dreams.
Beautiful Pics...
Where is Charles?
Beautiful ceremony, she looked stunning as well as her hubby
#35 is awesome! They make such a beautiful couple :)
Wish you Happy, Healthy and Successful married life to newly married couple. May God bless you.
Pathetic royalty. They are no better than anyone else. I can't wait till royalty falls. Until then the ''prince'' gets bald just like any other guys.
#11 is wonderful!
good pics!
Great pics!
I'm just dissapointed there weren't more photos of those absolutely ridiculous hats that the guests were wearing. Maybe next weeks blog will concentrate solely on the hats? Fingers are crossed.
congrats!
awesome!
Congrats ! beautiful pics
Very inspiring! I wish them well!
rly nice pics ;)
They are so beautiful!
God bless them!
#6 I am at the wedding baby! Yeah!!
#33 and #34 - that kid on the left is so bored .. ( great photos )
who cares?
beautiful! absolutely stunning!
Superb!!!
No matter who they are, it's sweet to see young people so happy.
It's great to have something to celebrate.
like a fairytale... :)
Very nice.
Amazing photos. for a lovely event.. just really nice to see people all happy
How long before she goes the way of Diana and Sara?
Beautiful pictures... she looked lovely
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN !
It was a nice wedding, for sure.
In #36 why is Catherine driving the car? Oh wait... they are in the UK.
There was a wedding?
Great photo coverage! I saw the gear the Reuters photographers were carrying... 110+ lbs of cameras.
Great Occasion.
All the best to the bride and groom from NZ
God save the Queen!
Great day! fantastic pics. Well done.
Just SENSATIONAL
nice
Yawn -O-
Beautiful Royal Wedding Pictures!
I watched the entire Wedding; the pictures are just as I saw it!
Great pictures and the chance to see close up detail of the dress.
Beautiful Royal Wedding Pictures!
I watched the entire Wedding; the pictures are just as I saw it!
Glad that's over with. Meanwhile in japan...
Good shots!
Wow~~~ excellent pics~
Am i the first one to comment?
God save the Queen!
No es pa tanto! pues!
What a waste of time and money !!
People are dying in the middle east and those people are spending millions of dollars on a stupid wedding..
So beautiful! Kate is exquisite and her dress so well reflects her modesty and class. Wishing them all the happiness and as much normalcy in their beautiful lives ahead of them.
Wow!!! Kate is Beautiful
Big congratulation from Poland !!!
Looking through the lens of history. A thousand of years of British pageantry and tradition. To watch that is to be part of it. I wish the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge nothing but the joy of life and congratulations to the British people !
All they need is LOVE . GB him ! :)
best wishes!
jesus, he is bald, while the girl looks like snow white, it's really quiet a contrast, what the name of that dwarf died in harry potter this year,
i can't believe they would a bigger news , while the us and brit fight for "freedom" in the middle east should they get rid of their king and queen first, I think that's at least 50% communist to keep them right? white people?
Meh.
too beautiful!
Great set, best wishes to them!!!
My congratulations go out to Prince William and Kake Middleton on there Royal wedding.Wishing them both a lifetime of happiness together.
Que hermosa mujer. Buena suerte, sobretodo que sea mejor que Diana
Number 11 is brilliant. Instantly brought a smile to my face :)
What lovely Wedding love it or hate it
I'm glad they're enjoying themselves. It's fascinating what people are willing to spend money upon.
#23 Oh yes, now that's what I call royalty.
What brand of cars are? the last is an Ason Martin?
I don't get how billions watched this.
But as an American, is this what it feels like when America blows events out of proportion (balloon boy, ectect)?
Thanks for the pictures, they're brilliant!
William may have a lavish wedding, royal riches and a beautiful wife, but he'd swap it all for a full head of hair...
#6 and #34 I like the most. #6 because it shows how this wedding is really celebrated and enjoyed by the people. And #34 because the bridesmaid recognizes a real special moment.
wow :)
Just beautiful. Even if one can't appreciate the history, one has to admit that everything was beautiful; the bride, groom, the Abbey. The photos are just amazing.
Kate's family's story is really an American story, one that we should really understand. One generation ago (I believe) they were coal miners and now the grand daughter will be the future queen of England. That normally doesn't happen in England.
Just the history alone was worth watching...everything from where her flowers came from, to the church, to the families. So worth it and beautiful.
Wonderfull!
people which is marrying the same day will seem ridiculous
BigPicture - best photos as always - thank you :-)
They do make a nice looking couple I must say. I do wonder how many British government jobs could have been saved for all of the cost of this wedding of the royal family which are mere figureheads for a financially struggling nation. Oh well, cheers to the bride and groom anyways. :-)
:)
pretty good job! You can take perfect photos of everything! Nice pictures as always, nice wedding! Congrats
It seems a little tacky to end a royal wedding with the future king driving off in a Mini.
que lindooooo
Me parece mentira el dinero que les a costado la boda y los preparativos para nada, al final se casan dos personas.
De verdad que es tan importantes la monarquía?
Viven como reyes sin hacer nada y los de mas sin trabajo, manda huevos.
Yay! William and Kate look so happy! Kudos to security. I'm glad the wedding happened without incident.
good! I like it.
Type your comment here...
An enchanting day in London. It will seem hard to believe from these images, but we are a very modest nation at practising patriotism. We are outward, rather than inward, looking. These scenes are truly rare indeed. Thus, the occasion was special to us as a country, and special to those in the Commonwealth of nations.
Can we move on with our lives now?
It's amazing how discretely such amazing pictures in the church have been made!
Wonderful set of images. It was an amazing day and London was buzzing.
Wonderful set of images. It was an amazing day and London was buzzing.
like a movie !
Nobody can replace Diana.. She is true English Angel
It was truly lovely! I really felt the affection between the two..and Catherine is a beautiful elegant bride. Congratulations to them both!
Long life live the queen and congs for Prince william and princess Kate :)
I'm not a monarchist but that was great - only someone with a cold and soulless heart could pour scorn on such a celebration of life.
I hope the young couple have a lovely life and family together.
Fantastic photos! Congratulations to the newly weds. The media circus can stop now. Lets focus on Obama's birth certificate now.
Nice one
bye bye tax money
She's so pretty ! Thank you very much for these extraordinary pictures of an extraordinary wedding. Kisses from France!
There seems to be some typo errors in a few of the photos regarding the Duchess's name. Is the Princess's name spelt with a "C" or a "K"? Kate is referred to as "Catherine" rather than "Katherine" in many photos and I do believe it is the latter.
Maybe those should be corrected if in error.
Très belles photos. Toute l'angleterre y figure : tradition, puissance, élégance
gorgeous couple. best wishes for a wonderful marriage
congratulations on your wedding day at the same tme I am also a great grandma again on your wedding day.The Robbins family
Nobody can replace Diana.. She is a true... English Angel
Beautiful, beautiful pictures - so much fun! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful Pictures!
so happy for them!
I was here... :))
Nem feltétlenül TC a csaj, de szimpi
Gorgeous!!!!!
Small note on the photo 18 caption, which is wrong: They did NOT exchange rings! William will not wear a ring. Only Kate was given one!
Genial !!!, como siempre mostrando las grandes imagenes, felicitaciones !!!
Saludos desde México.
皇室接吻这张照片里的小女孩出名了，这才叫抢戏！
# 20.....in the near future...........Pippa & Henry :O :P
I must admit, I've had absolutely no interest in this event, seeing it as being a lot of hype over a group of people who are largely figureheads. But I actually enjoyed the pictures. Something to be said for the carrying on of tradition in a time when everyone else seems to want revolution.
yay!!!
May they be happy and help bring peace to this world !
金正日万岁！！！
The wedding of Kate has revealed the astonishing beauty if her sister Pippa !
I like the pictures.
zzz
she's beautifullll
best wishes...
Beautiful wedding! Kate's gown was simple, yet stunning! Well done!
So happy for them :)
SHREK AND FIONA
I'm 99% sure they aren't cousins or anything.
Way to go Willie!!!
Cheers to the great pics!
17 - mah-widge...
I wonder who is paying for all that fancy wedding..
beautiful!!
Excellent photos...
20 MILLION POUNDS YOU WILL NEVER GET BACK... Good job.
Amazing snaps..and so quick. Awesome Job.
Beautiful pictures. May their marriage be long and happy. As an Englishman in America, these pictures make me so proud to remember my roots.
Prince and Beauty, just PERFECT except bald prince!
Wow. Fabulous pictures!
I always wanted to be in the scene of history.
I missed again ^^
May be I have to be a AP photojournalist, and I'm eager to be.
Quite happy for them both!
Good luck!!
Check out the difference in chairs on picture #23, as to not forget who's who.
Diana had a stronger presence, but I guess she'll do too.
AWESOME PICTURES!!!!! It was an event that will be remembered by the young and old. May they have much happiness and joy!!!
Am I the only one noticing the ugly high-ISO noise in some of the pics?
Are these guys using 1Ds Mk2, or D2h?
Because the goods ones are MUCH cleaner, probably D3 or D3s.
in history :)
#24 At the middle, Pippa and Harry! They're next! :D
am i the only one who noticed that in picture #28 the police office has the safety turn off on his MP5?
Jeez? It's enough to make you wanna cry?
น่าประทับใจมากครับ Good Picture
เยี่ยมเลยครับ
花了不少钱嘛，英国人挺想的开嘛，交着高额的个人税，养活好吃懒做的皇室
Whats a waste of taxpayers money... They better build a new hospital or two...
It was absolutely beautiful. Hope their love forever.
nice~~
best wishes to the beautiful and happy couple! :)
Boludez total.
Around 4,000 people get married everyday. This is no more important nor special than any of those. The worlds obsession by this event is so sad to me.
مبارک باشه
"Meanwhile is Africa..."
ิlive happily ever after such a beautiful and perfect wedding
To Carl (#89) - Mini tacky, vintage Aston Martin Volante, not so much.
Notice how Kate's family had wooden chairs and William's family had the plush in photo #23
Wish the new married couple all the best.
Great photos!!!!!
Beautiful, beautiful pictures, as would be expected from The Big Picture. And it really was a lovely ceremony. The most important part was the obvious happiness on both the bride and groom's faces. It's a shame that some commentors here cannot take a single day out of their news-watching lives to experience something happy every once and a while, and would instead prefer all of us to focus on miserable news every waking hour. Oh well. Congrats, Prince William and Dutchess Catherine, you make the country proud.
Truly Amazing & Spectacular Royal Wedding of the Future King & Queen of UK and Commonwealth
great shot! once in a lifetime..
Kate is Beautiful:)
Spend now -as lavishly as possible
And then pay from your nose.
Or better still -ask world for help filing for bankupcy!!
Congratulations newly weds!
wow all these hatred coming from some people here. I wonder if they realise how much revenue the Royals bring in from tourism alone. Their history of tradition and culture dates back to over 1,000 years, compared to America. At least the Royals are doing good things with their life. Prince Charles owns an Organic company. His sons are serving the country as an Apache pilot and Search and Rescue helicopter pilots. Look at Princes Diana and her role to promote AID and landmines awareness. Something I don't see Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian doing.
Ah new genetic material for the royal lifestock management. Tally Ho!
She just looks right, nothing more than that. Diana was really special and extraordinary.
Truly Amazing & Spectacular Royal Wedding of the Future King & Queen of UK and Commonwealth
like it..:D our childhood cartoons came true!! i think everybody loves the couple together
like it..:D our childhood cartoons came true!! i think everybody loves the couple together
Picture no. 33
There are no rings on their fingers.
love you congrats
@152. The saftey clip of the Heckler & Koch MP5 is 'on'. It would be on red (warning) if it were 'off '.
Great photo's. I know that some on this site have complained about royalty but the vast majority of British people like having a monarch. Personally, I'd prefer a less formal version, but what we have is has numerous advantages over a presidency. As for the money: yes, the wedding could have been simpler in terms of troop involvment but, once again, we Brits like ceremony.
wish em a very gud life ahead..................
A happy day of the World.
I am not an afficionado of this royal "cinema" but Cate and William have the right to be happy, what ever happens in the world at this moment.
Great pics.
Excellent stuff. Great pictures and truly an event to celebrate. Well done to the Brits. Don't ever dump your monarchy - it's wonderful.
PS (a minor comment to all men with hair complexes out there - "George & co")
I'm bald and really not rich but I've never had a problem with the women - in fact I probably have more than my fair share - get with it - baldness is nothing to be ashamed of.
Awesome!!! (: Love it.
Historical events,flawless photos.
to those moaning about the money and trying to reduce this to a economic argument instead of just enjoying the day.
it cost 29 million to protect 50 heads of state, the cost of the policing, the wedding itself etc.
it brought in over 50million from tourism on that single day (never mind the rest of the visitors stay), 2 billion people watched it on tv.
to put it in perspective,
the popes visit cost 13million. to protect just him
The USA spends over 100million on a inauguration every 4 years
and we actually made money.
so get over yourselves and take the time to enjoy some happy news instead of the usual. honestly there are no other complaints at any other festivals posted up here.
Fantastic Photos, a marvellous day.
Just shows you that although the protestors get all the publicity, the silent majority were able to enjoy the day. Please now can the UK newspapers stop knocking the UK.
And the cost, well with 20% VAT on every hotel room, every meal and drink and every flag sold, I think it might just have been met.
Beautiful ceremony for a beautiful couple! Good luck to them and the future British Monarchy!
Sure the money could have been better spent on other countries (though why we should when we are struggling here at home is another matter) or other things... but for all the people who sit and think of the cost, how much extra is coming back through trade generated by the attendance of over 1 million people into central London for that day? If all those attended spent £20 on drinks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, travel thats £20 million in the coffers for businesses not to mention the governments cut of it. Its not simply a case of money spent with nothing coming back.
And yes people are dying in the middle east, in the US with the terrible storms, but maybe for once its just nice to have a break from the tragedy of life and just celebrate something nice. What kind of life do you have if you cant stop and appreciate that in all the stories of death, destruction, war there are positive things to read about? I feel sorry if all you want is doom and gloom and cant take a few mins to smell the roses too. :)
All you people crying about money: Is that all you can think about? Why can´t you just appreciate that some moments in life are priceless?
Love the pics, but where are David and Victoria?
billions for symbolism. may be it is not? part of the Empire?
Amazing, happy for them
Thank God for this perfect couple.. KING AND QUEEN. May God continue to watch over them by day and night. I am extremely happy to watch the whole celebrations in NTV7. Well done !
Long life WILLIAM N KATE.....Congratulations, much love from Malaysia ...... Perfect couple made by God... Awesome Royal Wedding.........
amazing pictures!

20 MILLION POUNDS YOU WILL NEVER GET BACK... Good job." Posted by Whut April 29, 2011 07:44 PM
It went straight back into the economy! ...thats what happens when you spend money, personally I think £20mil is pretty good value considering the scale of the operation and am glad the day went with success and the public gt to appreciate some of the money and grandeur it brings.

Its an Aston Martin DB6 Valante...nothing tacky about it.
Outstanding photos as always. You do a tremendous job all the time. I have your link on my website and strongly recommend that teachers who use it go here at least three times a week for current events around the world.
Congratulations to both of them - This makes me very proud to be British
No 79 - Hair only keeps your head warm!! - William can always wear a hat - I am very sure that he is not bothered about his hair and is very very happy!!
Jealousy not a very nice trait is it!!!!!!!!
am i the only one who noticed on the balcony pictures that small girl on the left has the devil looks and could be a candidate for the future exorcist movies
not particularly a royalist, infact i took the dog out when it was on, but its good just to remind ourselves and realign the fact we are british, a true and strong nation, and we excel at things like this, good luck to them, its amazing to think some of the traditions on show are older than the usa. amazing.
good save the queen.
What a beautiful ceremony. Thank you for the great photo's !
Best wishes !
@152: White is safety on, red is safety off. The guns in the picture are set on safety. Besides, they have professional trigger discipline.
Great pictures & everyone is so happy,however,millions of people in the US have been struck by tragedy from the tornado outbreak in the south. I just find it hard to be joyful right now.
# 28,
c 'est mieux de voir des flics rigoler au lieu de les voir tirer
nice photos! beautiful wedding!
Just fabulous. Kate's dress was beautiful, simple, and regal. I thought it was perfection. The whole wedding was so apropos for the world today in this overall recession. My hope for them is their touching the average person. Prince William has his head on straight. A new era begins.
Thank you Big Picture again for these photos!
#183 I agree. We have had too much of gloom and doom. The devil just wants that. We indeed, our very selves, need to stop and enjoy the good that life brings such as this wedding. This couple are humans too, and had a right to it. This wedding is a welcome break, brings about a positive atmosphere and hope for the future not only for the UK but for the world.
#200 One may find it hard to be joyful now with the tragic events in Mississippi, Alabama and other states but the devil really wants us to sulk, feel depressed. He is a thief that comes to steal, kill and destroy including our joy. I'm formerly from Mississippi and do care about people there in the disaster areas. However, I refused to sulk and preferred to encourage and help now. There are blessings and curses, life and death in this world through the choices we make in life-both in the short and long terms. G_d said "choose life" so I choose life. It's really up to us how we prefer to let our minds be played upon. One thing a hungry child, the suffering and oppressed need is hope. Joy, such as what this wedding brings, brings hope. Isn't it that even in a small birthday party we experience happiness and joy? Everyone needs it now. I see this wedding as a welcome change, a hope for the future in seeing the next generation continue on.
Beautiful Wedding and Great photos either ;))
CONGRATULATION TO PRINCE WILLIAM AND KATE MIDDLETON. really nice wedding. Prince William and Kate were looking amazing. great pictures and yea Kate`s dress was gorgeous.
i watch it all. i will never forget this date because my mum and dad celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary and my husband and i celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on the same day. From Resh in Mauritius.

RE.. am i the only one who noticed on the balcony pictures that small girl on the left has the devil looks and could be a candidate for the future exorcist movies...
a picture on the front page of a british newspaper today shows William and Kate kissing with the little girl in the corner with her hands over her ears with the same evil look!!! LOL! she didnt like the noise of the planes from the fly past. haha she does indeed have a funny look about her!
privilege should never be inherited

beautiful photos!!!
re comment 218 about the little bridesmaid in pics #33 and 34.
Check her out in #25...she looks like a cherub.
Your comments of her are unfair: she is a three-year old who has had to
keep herself reigned in from the time she got up that morning, had her hair
done, dress and shoes put on (no running around in that!!), the wreath put on, sat in the car on the way to the abbey, kept her cool as she walked down the aisle, sat very quietly and properly during the looooong ceremony, retained her cool as she walked back down the aisle, back into the car, over to the Palace, up the stairs (or elevator?) to the balcony, to still be quiet and not behave unbecoming for the event she was a part of. That's just the day of; she already had a rehearsal or two behind her the days before the wedding.
What you are seeing on her face is the need for some quiet rest. The child is beyond tired, she has circles under her eyes from the strain of keeping pace with the adults around her, and she is to be commended because the little trooper came through with flying colours -- she hasn't lost, dropped or played around either with the wreath in her hair or the little bouquet of flowers at her wrist, she hasn't lost her temper or focus, hasn't cried or been out of line. That's amazing self-discipline for such a little one. She'll
be even more awesome 18 years from now!
Everybody smiles!
ENJOYED THE PICTURES....NICE TO SEE PICTURES THAT PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE, AND A JOYFUL TEAR....

cant believe how much people are complaining about the cost of the wedding. the amount of money and tourism it generated is amazing, a worldwide advertisement for the uk. quit complaining.
what a wonderful day, loved the pictures.....
stupid peoples
Beautiful and historical event.
.,congatulation!!!.,,nice shot!.,fabulous!
god bles you both of you.........
20 mln spent when the recession is going on and people are losing their jobs.
Congratulations!!!
A perfect match! Wonderful pictures! They make the whole world smile too.
I agree with comment 229. All the flower girls are angels :).
Not enough beer commercials ...

Очень красиво))))))
Beautiful pictures! Our prayers and best wishes for Prince William & Kate!!
O casamento foi lindo....
aqui no Brazil, paramos para assitir.
Ótimas fotos, parabéns!!
A truly beautiful spectacle which I thoroughly enjoyed watching. May you have a long and happy life together.
Weg met geldmors
Congratulaion to the couple on their wedding. These pictures are so wonderful and worth to be kept for the memmory and the history of life. This is just the beginning of the family life. I wish them all good luck and strength of everlasting love.
wat een geweldige foto,s echt gaaf.
I have seen lots of photos of this historical joyful occasion. The photos you have included capture the magic of each step progressessing towards the grand fanalie.
Very clear pictures describes the mood of all those closely involved as well as thousands of people who attended in the wonderfully organised marriage ceremoney . We should be very proud that only the British can effeciently organise a function of such huge magnitude involving manay many people including the millons of public,
Well done Britain.
did you have a lovely day
Grand Slam Wedding... Leslie out...
Kate = Beautiful queen material, Pippa = Smokin' hot fantasy material
Poor Wills. Once you get that bald spot, getting photographed from above becomes a nightmare. Luckily Harry has a different father.
The one little bridesmaid, who's gotten some attention because she was making a weird face... it seems, that's just how she looks all the time. Hope she grows out of it. Poor kid.
Happy and healty years to new marriage
Picture #35: "I win!" neener neener neener. lol
Also, Pippa kinda stole the show with that amazing dress/body.
Soy argentino y felicito al príncipe Guillermo y su novia Kate Middleton por su casamiento, les deseo sean felices toda su vida. Tengo entendido que hace muchos años son novios y algunos que conviven, esto es bueno ya que se conocen bastante bien y a pesar de eso se casaron, mis felicitaciones a ellos, a la familia real y a ese lindo pais.
It's ironic that they spent 40 million on the wedding but couldn't afford some Rogaine for William and Harry.

semua photo bagus ,tanpa terkecuali .hebat.(djaskiya,jogyakarta,indonesia)
Protocolo absurdo e inutil. cuanto dinero se ha tirado ala basura?.
#23 is a great pic of Pip Middleton
she looked uglyy
She looks great
#213 TOTALLY AGREE YOUR STATES!!
I dont know why people have given too much importance. if they have seen the marriage organised in chennai especially few yrs back for sudhakkaran's marriage these are all nothing....
gracias,Big Picture, por las fotos fantasticas y de gran calidad, las he disfrutado de tal manera, que me sentì, como una de las invitadas de primera fila. privilegio de los monarcas. larga vida a la pareja y mucha felicidad.
@221 Nobody "The wedding of the kingdom which built on the blood and colonialism of the world...congratulation"
You are so right my friend, I wholeheartedly agree.
I like on the pictures 33 and 34 the two little girls. The one on the right is old enough to understand, not the one on the left. Very beautiful pictures, thanks to the professional who shot them. To those who complain the cost of such a wedding, may I suggest to them to have a trip to North Korea and check the cost of their "beloved" dictator
UAU .......I was there.................just amazing!!
I want to see the marraige certificate.
I was never too much interested in this "world-wide" event. But the pictures are simply amazing.
Ohhhhhhhh so forever beautiful and memorable. Sighs. I smile can look at these images over and over. This was indeed a moment to witness.
Thank you for sharing these splendid photos of regal event, which was uplifting in spirit, inspiring of vision, and beautiful in ceremony! It was moving to see Britons in celebration of their Monarchy, nation of regal heritage, and joyful in majestic marital union.
Surely, it must have played-out many a father's unreal dream for a beloved daughter walked to the alter of new life, and many a bride's fairytale hopes for wedding day happiness in gold-ring vows of joining hands for life.
May Providence help and bless their marriage.

Totally fun to watch. HOWEVER, the media sent all of the biggies to the wedding leaving one trainee or so to cover the tornados in the south or continuing efforts in Japan. Shows where the priorities are.
I really think the Big Picture should do a spread on the hats at the wedding LOL!!
I'm just glad that it's over. It is always great news when people join in matrimony but the media made the whole thing go sour for me, especially ET. They make me sick. But great pics! I love pic # 11.
TODO ESTUBO MUY BONITO. AUNQUE ME PARECE UN DERROCHE EXCEPCIONAL Y TANTA GENTE POBRE EN ESE PAIS, LO MÁS FEO DE ESTE MATRIMONIO FUE LA PRESENCIA DE CAMILA PARKER, QUIEN COMO SIEMPRE FEA, ARRUGADA, VIEJA NADA QUE VER SI EXISTIERA LA PRINCESA DIANA.
me and hubby watched the whole ceremony while hugging and falling in love all over again!!! this was amaaaazing. I love the royal family. I am not a fan of monarchy but if monarchy means this kindda family then i am all for it!
stop talking about money and how they wasted! just grow up already. gawd. they have produce 50 times more via this wedding for their country! i wanna see what your country has done for you!!! not just money wise but spiritually this was Awesomeeeee for people of England. love love love!

What a perfect wedding. Everything was simly beautiful!!!! Diana would be so very proud.
Тошнотворно это всё.
I enjoyed the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton live on
BBC. Next I saw the "Royal Wedding Photos" in The Big Picture, and I enjoyed more and more. The Photos are superb to the last detail. Thank you so much. We saw the previous 'Royal Wedding' of Prince Charles and Lady
Diana also live some thirty years ago. It's wonderful!
The British gave the world a Royal Wedding. The USA raises you with a funeral! (Osama)
佳偶天成，恭喜多賀。
Perfect match in heaven. Kung Hay, Kung Hay!
Awesome wedding I wanted to cry
super jolie
Thanks for posting such lovely memories
What a excellent wedding ceremony is!!!!!!! I am very happy and wishes them for haven life of the world. Allah bless them.
The most beautiful couple I ever seed have a long and happy life together
and Dear Diana will R.I.P forever.
Like the comment above says (well)
a wedding payed by the taxpayers...
a soap opera financed by the workers...
and while students can not afford to pay their education bills
DISGUSTING 'prince' (and I use the term very loosely) william!!!!!!!!!!
God help us all if you are ever king
American brides all want that "wow" factor with wedding gowns that are over the top, sexy, revealing, in your face, drop dead gorgeous....etc.etc. They can all take a lesson from Kate Middleton. She "wowed" the world in her stunning, elegant dress. Less is more. I like her dress better than Diana's.
DEVUELVAN LAS ISLAS MALVINAS, LADRONES!!!! / RETURN US MALVINAS ISLANDS, ROBBERS!!!!
For those black fur hats the royal guard wears, thousands of wild Black Bears from Canada are being poached, strangled in iron wires and steel traps for days, and bleeding to death or shot when found by the poachers. All for the royalty.... Sick.
You are not alone in your thoughts, #218. Though it's not the child's fault, her being only 3, the reality is, it did not help beautify those photos.
The wedding was a nice, brief distraction from all the negative news we get. Slightly boring at times- but nice.
wwwwwwwwwwwooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww
God bless the tax payers!
May William and Catherine have a long and beautiful life together. William YOU deserve all the happiness in this world. Your Mum would be very proud of YOU. Protect Catherine well and may your happiness last a lifetime.
Best wishes
Cristina
