Hi, this is Marissa G from period 6 20th century. The Royal Wedding took place in England on April 29th, 2011. This was such a big deal because it was a wedding between Prince William and Catherine Middleton. They are said to be the next in line for the throne if the Queen refuses to give it to Prince Charles, her own son. I think the US took a liking to this wedding because of how amazing and big everything was. It was traditional and everyone in England had the day off as if it was a holiday. I found it interesting on how traditional everything was and how they have been doing these traditions for years.
