At dawn Friday, April 29, the first guests will converge on Westminster Abbey, which will be celebrated the union.
At 11 noon (Paris), Catherine Middleton happen to turn the arm of her father and begin the ceremony at which they will be joined by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Not less than 1 900 handpicked guests, 600 000 onlookers on the streets of London and two billion people will attend, from near or far, the union of the prince, second in the order of succession to the British throne, the daughter of an air hostess and a steward turned businessman.
Before the altar and when his wishes, Kate Middleton will not commit to "obey" her husband. The official program released Thursday by the protocol services to the British throne said it will commit to "love, comfort, respect and caring" Prince William. Respectively arrived aboard a Bentley and a Rolls-Royce, Kate and William will leave Westminster Abbey - where William the Conqueror was crowned king of England in 1066 - on board a coach built in 1902 for King Edward VII.
The procession, which includes a total of five crews carrying the royal family and the parents of Kate, will not more than fifteen minutes to travel the two miles between the Abbey from Buckingham Palace. In the streets the colors of the Union Jack, the procession will pass through the Westminster Parliament, Big Ben and The Mall, Royal artery leading to Buckingham.

Little information has filtered through the cocktail, as the evening meal. We only know that two cakes will be made. The inevitable fruit cake was ordered from the famous pastry Fiona Cairns. Kate Middleton has demanded that the cake is decorated with 16 flowers symbolize happiness (the pink) and tenderness (the lily), marriage (Ivy), etc..
True work of art, it will be exposed during the cocktail reception in the majestic "picture gallery" of Buckingham Palace, surrounded by Rembrandt, Poussin and Rubens others. Beside him, another dessert included, this time by William wanted: a chocolate cake made from the famous tea McVitie's biscuits which the prince adored child.
Prince William was careful to associate his marriage to his dead mother, Princess Diana. Fifteen years old when his mother died in a car accident in Paris, William offered Kate the engagement ring that the late Princess Diana had received from Prince Charles. "Obviously it will not be there to share our joy and excitement of it all, was my way of associating," explained the young man at an engagement in November.
Last week, William took Kate to visit the grave of Diana, the family estate of Althorp Spencer (central England), according to the press. Prince Harry, younger brother of William, recently told how her mother would be present in their thoughts on the wedding day. "She was very, very proud on this great day for him."
