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
