Royal Weddings

Few occasions thrill us like a royal wedding.

This spring, the world watches as Prince William and Kate Middleton make their vows.

Both a public event and a personal milestone, these ceremonies are storybook endings - and bright beginnings.

Whether the charisma of Sweden's crown princess Victoria, or the allure of Lady Di, each bride is a living fairytale.

And now Kate Middleton joins the tradition of royal beauties.

Of course, let's not overlook the handsome royal grooms - every prince a legendary knight in arms.

Princes Felipe and Rainer spring to mind.

Royal weddings are a chance for nations to celebrate their age-old customs.

These grand events embody a young couple's love, and a country's faith in its future.
