Congratulations to the Newly Wedded, Prince William and Catherine Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

England's Official Royal Wedding Photo 

I just watched the Royal wedding today on BBC America, and it was beautiful. I just adore the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Catherine (Kate) Middleton.  They are so contemporary in their attitudes and perspective in life. It is great to see a new light in the monarchy. They are such an adorable and endearing couple  。◕ ‿ ◕。

A beautiful 9 years in the making, from friends to husband and wife, this romantic journey of Prince William and Catherine Middleton was solidified on Friday, 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London. A gorgeous celebration well deserved for the beautiful couple.  Even though some traditions were followed,  I love their personal twist on their big day, showing their nontraditional royal ways, a very true modern relationship, carving their own way for a new future. 

God bless them and I wish them the best in life and a beautiful and happy future together.

**Fun Beauty Fact:
Not only is Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge a fashionista, she is a beauty guru herself.
She did her own makeup and hair on her wedding day! And might I say she looks gorgeous!
