First of all, I apologise for not blogging in what is now a full week. It was my birthday weekend, so there's been a lot of nights out... Which also means this is my first blog as an official man. Not only that, but after a few consultations with people, unfortunately my 100 Hour Challenge has had to be postponed. Good job bearing in mind I'm still really not very well!
Anyway, it's lovely to be back. And what do I cover today? Well, the event that will be broadcast around the world tomorrow, that's what. The Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton, if you have been living in the middle of Mars for the last six months.[[posterous-content:pid___0]]
A little background to begin with... Wills and Kate first started seeing each other in 2001, having shared accommodation at St. Andrew's University. They got engaged last October, which was announced in November, and since, everyone's been speculating about all the aspects of the wedding, the majority of which have now been confirmed. The ring is Princess Diana's, the venue is Westminster Abbey, the cake will be Fiona Cairns, and the dress is...
Currently the best kept secret on the planet. Still.
Remarkably, no-one knows anything about the dress. Rumours state there will be a 10ft train, like that of Diana's; it will be thin and romantic; it will involve a very simplistic tiara as worn by the Queen. But what will actually happen?!
I don't know why, but I have a feeling it may be Alexander McQueen. It has been rumoured and denied, but I just get the feeling that it will be one of Kate's favourite designers to create what will become the precedent of wedding dresses for years to come. It'll be a beautiful, simple dress that will encompass everything so wonderful about Kate, and about the couple. And it'll inevitably end up with a McQueen twang through it too![[posterous-content:pid___1]]
Either way, tomorrow will be a right Royal occasion, where the world will be watching the couple enjoy their special day. And the world will guess all evening what the dress is like.
I'm watching at home, then on to a street party in the evening. And I'll be right Royally rat-arsed.
