The wedding of Prince William of Wales and Catherine "Kate" Middleton is scheduled to take place at Westminster Abbey on 29 April 2011. William, who is second in the line of succession to Queen Elizabeth II, first met Middleton in 2001, while he and Middleton were studying at the University of St Andrews. Their engagement, which began on 20 October 2010, was announced on 16 November 2010. After the wedding, the couple intend to continue residing on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales, where Prince William is based as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot.
St James's Palace announced on 5 January that the ceremony is to start at 11:00 local time and that Middleton will arrive at the abbey by car rather than by carriage (the latter is the traditional transport for royal brides.) The planned route is along The Mall, through Horse Guards Parade, and down Whitehall to the abbey. After the ceremony, the bridal couple will return along the same route by carriage to a reception hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. The Prince of Wales is to host a private dinner that evening.
In a break with royal tradition, the groom is to have a best manhis brother, Prince Harryrather than a supporter, while the bride has chosen her sister, Pippa, as maid of honour. The couple will have four bridesmaidsLady Louise Windsor, the seven-year old daughter of the Earl and Countess of Wessex; The Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones, the eight-year old daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Linley; Grace van Cutsem, the three-year old daughter of the couple's friend Hugh van Cutsem; and Eliza Lopes, the three-year old granddaughter of the Duchess of Cornwall. Two page boys are also to participate: William Lowther-Pinkerton, the ten-year old son of William's private secretary Major Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton MVO MBE, and Tom Pettifer, the eight-year old son of William and Harry's former nanny, "Tiggy" Pettifer MVO.
The Dean of Westminster will officiate for most of the service, with Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, conducting the marriage ceremony itself and Richard Chartres, the Bishop of London, giving the sermon. It has long been traditional for the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Church of England's most senior bishop, to officiate at the weddings of England's monarchs and future monarchs, but as Chartres is a close friend of the Prince of Wales,he was invited to take part in the ceremony.
Clarence House announced that two choirs, one orchestra and a fanfare team will perform the music at the wedding service of Prince William and Middleton at Westminster Abbey. These are the Westminster Abbey Choir, Chapel Royal Choir and London Chamber Orchestra, and a fanfare team of the Central Band of the Royal Air Force. The choirs will be directed by James ODonnell, Organist and Master of the Choristers at Westminster Abbey. The Abbeys Sub Organist, Robert Quinney, will play the organ. The Organist, Choir Master and Composer at Her Majestys Chapel Royal is Andrew Gant. The London Chamber Orchestra will be conducted by Christopher Warren-Green, who is its Music Director and Principal conductor. The fanfare team will perform under the direction of Wing Commander Duncan Stubbs, whose own composition, Valiant and Brave, will be performed as the royal couple sign the wedding register.
