    Absolutely beautiful couple. The artistry in their wedding garments is exquisite! I can see why the people of Bhutan are so enamoured. Dont like the scowling military faces behind them though. Best wishes for a great future to the wedded couple and to their people!

    Wedding dress to draw record crowds to London palace

    By Rich Shulman

    I guess there is no limit to the interest in this wedding.

    As Reuters reported:

    Buckingham Palace expects record crowds this summer, when up to 650,000 people are set to file into Queen Elizabeth's London residence and past the dress worn by Kate Middleton at her wedding to Prince William.

    The ivory and white garment, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, won over the fashion press and public when Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge and a future queen, walked up the aisle of Westminster Abbey in April.

    In the run-up to the fairytale wedding, details of the outfit were a closely guarded secret, known only to the handful of people who worked on the dress.

    Hundreds of millions of viewers admired it on television and the Internet, and now hundreds of thousands will see it for themselves, unprotected on a raised oval stage in the ornate palace ballroom where state banquets are held.

    Reflecting the surge in interest in the royals after the marriage and the newlyweds' recent trip to North America, advanced ticket sales for the summer tour of Buckingham Palace have hit 126,000, up 107 percent on the same point last year.

    Read the full story here. Watch video of the exhibit below.

    Caroline de Guitaut, curator of the exhibition display adjusts the wedding dress of Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, at Buckingham Palace, in central London, on July 20, 2011. It was the best kept secret of the royal wedding, but now the Alexander McQueen dress worn by the Duchess of Cambridge when she married Prince William is being put on public display for all to admire. Catherine's ivory and white satin-gazar dress, designed by Sarah Burton, goes on show at Buckingham Palace on Saturday as part of the annual summer opening, where hundreds of thousands of visitors are expected to flock to see it. One million people lined the streets of London to see William and the former Kate Middleton marry on April 29, but few will have got close enough to appreciate the intense effort that went into the stunning gown.

    Prince William looks at his bride Kate Middleton, as she holds her father Michael Middleton's hand during the royal wedding ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

    Prince William and Kate Middleton were pronounced husband and wife at Westminster Abbey Friday in a royal occasion of dazzling pomp and pageantry that has attracted a huge global audience.

    They took their vows at about 11:15 a.m. with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, officiating.

    The prince, 28, dressed in the resplendent red tunic of the Irish Guards, appeared to initially struggle to get the ring, made of Welsh gold, onto Middleton's finger.

    As Middleton, 29, arrived at the abbey, Buckingham Palace issued details of what she was wearing: a long-sleeved lace gown and veil, designed by Sarah Burton, creative director for Alexander McQueen.
