Prince William and Kate Middleton set date and venue for wedding

Recap:

This article is about Prince William and Kate Middleton. Prince William is the second in line for the throne of England and him and Kate have just recently become engaged. They have chosen a date and a venue for their wedding which will happen next spring at Westminster Abbey. Westminster Abbey was an interesting choice as many family members have had their weddings and funerals their. Queen Elizabeth was married there and Diana had her funeral there. Many people believe that they chose this venue and not St Paul's Cathedral so that they could get away from comparisons to Diana and Prince Charles wedding. The British government is also considering making the day a national holiday to commemorate their marriage forever. Scotland is still unsure about this. The royal family will be paying for the wedding but the government will be paying for all security.

Opinion:

I think that it is great that they are getting married. They have been together a long time and this will be something that will go down in British history. I believe that the royal family should pay for everything involved in the wedding including the security because why should the tax payers have to help pay for something that will be cause by these two people getting married. Also I think that they may be having their wedding at a place different than Diana and Charles to avoid comparisons however they may just want to be different and may want to have their wedding in the same place as Williams grandmother. This was a great article and it told me everything about their wedding.
