Royal Wedding Updates: Excitement as April 29 Comes Close!

Imagine the preparations Britain is making for the global celebration a.k.a. The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. All have to be well and perfectly planned now as the April 29 Royal Wedding comes close.

The Expectations

What makes the Royal Wedding more exciting and nerve-wracking for the people behind the preparations are the expectations set for the Royal Wedding:

• It will the biggest royal occasion in 30 years, bringing closure to the tragic legacy of the famous Princess Diana.
• Two billion people around the world will be watching live on April 29 either via internet or on their television sets.
• Hundreds of thousands will be lining the route from Westminster Abbey to see the newlyweds.
• Around 1,900 guests including foreign royals and celebrities will be present for the service.

The Threats
Royal officials are working very hard to ensure that the global event goes smoothly and without a glitch for the couple. Some of what they are preparing for are security risks for the notable guests, the public and of course, the couple.

A massive security operation was launched by the British police to guard against the threat of terror attacks and protests. A group of Muslim extremists were reportedly carrying through their threat to protest outside the wedding.

Britain's small republican movement is also having a protest, but in a light-hearted street party to promote its bid to see off the monarchy.

The hundreds of thousands of guests lining up to catch a glimpse of the couple will be difficult to control. The British police has also set up preparations to ensure order as the newlyweds lead the procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace.

Scotland Yard said it would have 5,000 officers on duty. It also pledged to prevent any disturbances as the Royal Wedding is ongoing.

More Details As the Royal Wedding Day Comes Close
Some 40 monarchs including Prince Albert of Monaco with representatives of more than 100 countries will be at the service. Some friends and acquaintances of the couple will also be present.

At 1000 GMT at Westminster Abbey, the service will start. After the service, the newlyweds will lead a procession to Buckingham Palace, travelling in a horse-drawn carriage past landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament and the Mall.

About 650 guests have been invited to the reception at the palace. Some 300 lucky people will be invited to the dinner-dance hosted by Prince Charles.

Bucklebery, Kate’s home village will also be having a street party to celebrate the event.

Wedding Updates to be Awaited

• What would Kate Middleton’s wedding dress look like?
• What titles would the royal couple take?
• Would the couple copy Charles and Diana’s kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace?

We just have to wait to find out! But what we do know is that all of us can be updated on the wedding day itself as the royal wedding will be covered and beamed around the world on television as well as streamed live on YouTube. Royal officials will also post blog and Twitter updates.

The excitement heightens as parts of the capital are being decked out in red, white and blue of the British flag. The government has declared April 29 a public holiday in Britain. Too bad April 29 will not be a holiday here in the Philippines!

Celebrity Singer Rachel Alejandro Finds 'The One'

Rachel Alejandro is marrying Spanish journalist Carlos Santamaria in Boracay and guess who’s writing a wedding song for her? That’s right, her ex-boyfriend Dingdong Avanzado.

“I was very appreciative that he made a song [for me and Carlos], for the wedding… It's called 'The One’,” said Rachel in an interview.

“Maganda, maganda 'yong kanta… I haven’t heard the whole thing yet but I was touched that he did that,” she said.

Several days from now the big day will happen soon but Rachel still did not disclose the exact date of her wedding.

For some curious folks out there thinking why she is not wearing an engagement ring, Rachel said it was because no formal proposal took place. Their decision to get married only occurred to them during their short stay in Vietnam.

“We spent a few days there and then nag-usap lang kami. We said, ‘You know what, kung ganito tayo kasaya lagi we should get married.' And that was it,” Rachel said.

Though happy as any bride can be, she disclosed that marriage will not be easy especially with her future husband’s job.

"Naloka-loka ako noong pinadala siya sa Japan recently with the radiation and all that, talagang umiiyak ako. Sabi ko, ganoon pala talaga. Siyempre, he's a reporter, kailangan niya," she said.

Rachel enjoys taking care of their wedding preparations and she appreciates her family’s help. "Everyday, it's like we're doing things together. This is parang part of the whole process and I'm really enjoying every minute of it," she said.

Geneva Cruz and Ricky Rivero will be her maid of honor and man of honor, respectively.
