Kate Middleton's dress has been a topic of interest for many months. When she exited the car, she was wearing an elegant lace dress. The designer was Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. McQueen is arguably one of the most famous British fashion designers, and took his life last year. Her gown choice was especially poignant due to this fact. Her maid of honor was her sister Pippa. Pippa also wore a white gown by Sarah Burton. Traditionally, it is frowned upon for anyone but the bride to wear white. However, Kate chose the dress.
Guests at the wedding included members of the royal family, as well as Elton John and the Beckhams. After exchanging vows, the couple was introduced as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. They rode through the streets in the same carriage used by Prince Charles and Princess Diana. When the wedding party stood on the terrace at Buckingham Palace, the Duke and Duchess kissed twice. The crowd was overjoyed because this was an usual occurrence. Afterwards, the wedding party took their official photographs and attended two receptions. The bride and groom went away for the weekend, but are not going on a honeymoon. They plan to live in their small town rather than residing at the palace.
