The Preparations For The Royal Wedding Are In Full Swing

The Princess Kate and Prince William royal wedding is receiving extensive media attention around the world. The thrill and excitement connected with this special affair has only heightened since the office of the Prince of Wales at Clarence House proclaimed their engagement on November 16, 2010. With the wedding date arranged on April 29, 2011, preparations are on in full swing for this famous occasion that will be covered by every big television network around the globe.

The two will marry at Westminster Abbey, which is an 11th century monument that was the site of coronation of no less than 38 kings and queens. Constructed by Edward the Confessor, this building is recognized because of its superb architecture and rich historical past. This, together with its relatively intimate setting and romantic appeal, is said to have influenced its choice by the two as the place in which they would prefer to say their vows.

Each detail pertaining to the royal wedding is being covered in the media in intricate detail, whether it be the wedding cake, the trousseau, the menu, the guest list or the arrangements that are occurring in the royal household in the countdown pointing to the fateful day.

Nonetheless, most of it is still speculation at best since even the buffet-style wedding breakfast that is getting prepared by Mark Flanagan - the Queen's Head Chef - is actually being kept a carefully guarded secret. Up to now, the chef has only hinted about an all-British menu that would consist of hot and cold canapes along with obvious favorites such as smoked salmon on beetroot blinis.

The royal wedding of Kate and William will include two cakes. The formal one is a multi-tiered fruitcake that is being made by Leicestershire baker Fiona Cairns and is going to be decorated with edible flowers. The second one will be an unbaked chocolate biscuit cake from McVitie's that's an all-time favorite of Prince William and was especially requested by him to be prepared utilizing the secret Royal Family recipe.

More than 1,900 wedding invites have been sent by the pair in the name of Queen Elizabeth II asking for the presence of friends, family plus a long list of royals and diplomats at the occasion. Of these, just 600 men and women were given invitations for a lunchtime reception at the Buckingham Palace.

With regards to the wedding trousseau, the dress that Princess Kate is anticipated to wear when she strolls down the aisle as a miss for the final time is actually a closely guarded secret that everyone is holding their breath for.
