Royal Wedding: Music

Posted on: April 16, 2011

I’ll admit it. I’m *slightly* obsessed with Prince William and Kate and diligently check People’s Royal Wedding website every day to stay on top of the latest news.

Everything royal wedding from the proposal, ring, bachelor/bachelorette parties and dress has been in the international spotlight and I’ve been eagerly waiting to hear about the music. It is common knowledge that Prince Charles is a big fan and supporter of classical music and I had read about Kate and Will having gone with him to select the music for their wedding.

Finally – the news is out! Christopher Warren-Green is the musical director of both the London Chamber Orchestra (LCO) and the Charlotte (N.C.) Symphony and met Prince Charles during his time in London. He’s been asked by Charles to be in charge of music for the wedding, conducting the LCO in a special program during the ceremony at Westminster Abbey. Warren-Green also played at Prince Charles’s 60th birthday and at his wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles and at Queen Elizabeth’s 80th birthday in Kew Palace. Can we say…LUCKY???

I can’t wait to find out what music has been chosen and if the selections end up setting off any wedding music trends that brides choose for their own weddings this year!

they are totally paper doll,
dress whoever want they to wear,
go wherever should go,
talk whatever should say,
they can’t wear “suckless” t-shire on the back,
they can’t moonwalk on the street…
but still, I love the money they have, but probably need approval
to use them…..still not bad. I will image their day from 5:am to 12:00Am next time. To be continue….
