The Royal Wedding: William & Kate’s Magical Day



The most watched wedding on the planet EVER!
Prince William wed Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey in London.
Kate wore a stunning dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. Kate’s dress had long lace sleeves and a sweetheart neckline with a full skirt cinched at the waist.
According to People Magazine online;
The dress was made by hand, using French Chantilly lace and English Cluny lace throughout the bodice, skirt and underskirt. The skirt, made of ivory and white satin gazar, was designed to emulate an opening flower: padded at the hips, it flowed out to the floor. The back of the dress was finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons fastened by Rouleau loops.
Kate wore her brunette locks in cascading curls. She topped the look with a ivory silk tulle veil, which was trimmed with hand-embroidered flowers. It was held in place by a Cartier ‘halo’ tiara, lent to Kate by the Queen. She also wore diamond drop earrings by Robinson Pelham, a gift from her parents.
Her Prince, William wore the red tunic of an Irish Guards colonel.

The Koko Master disclosed the fact that his mind is always channelled towards the positive lane boosted his career success.

And I believe in myself. That’s the three things that have kept me going.” After dropping several hits over the years that have made him popular among music lovers, D’banj’s fans may be surprised to know that he is not always at ease whenever he is getting ready to release an album. Based on his wanting to please his fans, he is always scared about how they would receive his album.
