Officials Give Details of Upcoming Royal Wedding; Abp. of Canterbury Will Marry Couple on April 29

Palace officials today (January 5, 2011) revealed key details about the upcoming royal wedding, announcing that Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will marry Prince William and Kate Middleton when they tie the knot on April 29, according to the Associated Press website.

The wedding ceremony at Westminster Abbey will begin at 11 a.m., kicking off a day of pomp and ceremony on what has been declared a national holiday throughout the United Kingdom.

The route -- from Westminster Abbey in a carriage procession to Buckingham Palace -- is expected to be lined with a huge crowd of well-wishers. The carriage will go through Parliament Square, Whitehall, Horse Guards Parade, and the Mall.

Once they retreat inside the palace, the newlyweds will be the guests of honor at a reception hosted by William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
