ATLANTA, Ga.- The special day is almost here for the heir to the British throne to marry his Princess. Prince William, son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, will marry Kate Middleton, daughter of Michael and Carole Middleton on April 29, 2011 in London, England.

The wedding ceremony will be held at Westminster Abbey, where Middleton will arrive by car instead of the traditional horse drawn carriages. The Archbishop of Canterbury will marry the couple, whereas the Dean of Westminster will conduct the service. William's younger brother, Prince Harry, the third in line to the throne, has been chosen as best man. Kate's sister, Philippa will be her maid of honor. Around 1,900 guests have been invited to the main ceremony consisting of the couple's friends and family.

The newlyweds will then be escorted out of Westminster Abbey traveling in the royal carriage procession to their destination at the Buckingham Palace. The wedding will be followed by a lunchtime reception hosted by Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace with 600 people invited.

“This is a wedding of love, not of arrangement and that is what makes this occasion so incredibly more special,” Philipa Gregory, author, says.
